Yeah the link above gives the breakdown but I saw it on the live coverage.

Hoping to get it on camera, seems the pros are really favoring this architype, makes me pleased 😀 let's hope it has a...

Looks like Grixis Control is the most played list at the Pro Tour, with a whooping 20 entries! Sneak n Show and Eldrazi were 2 and 3 respectively.

We'll see how it does this weekend but I thought...

No need to apologize at all, I just misunderstood the part about k command :) I agree the value engine is certainly grixis and it's very viable but many are having some success with Bug control as...

This confused me, can you please elaborate what you mean? Snapcaster is a blue card, hymn is a black card, so the only card you mentioned in that list that's Grixis is K Command, which is a fairly...

He 5-0'ed with another list as well - looks like back to back weeks with Aluren, but slightly different take.

Creatures (18)
3 Veteran Explorer
4 Baleful Strix
1 Cavern Harpy
1 Eternal...

RUG is currently about 12% of the meta-game, according to all the post-ban metrics Ive seen. By contrast, Miracles is about 10% and Grixis Delver is about 4%. BUG isn't even in the main chart because...

Looks like there was a few 5-0's

I assume this is the one you were referring to though...

REDPANDA1217 (5-0)

Planeswalker (4)
2 Jace, the Mind Sculptor
2 Liliana of the Veil

This one's pretty easy... let's compare.

Both cost 2 mana, 1G vs 1U.

Sylvan allows you to dig 3 cards, immediately VS Search allows you to see only one card until threshold.

Once flipped,...

He ended up going 4-1, losing to RUG delver. Same list as the 5-0 on MTGGoldfish.

Pretty good games, deck seemed solid despite the lack of one drops.

My thoughts too, I'm not sure Seige Rhino is worth splashing an extra color for and giving yourself a more shaky manabase, especially with no deathrites but his list is still really interesting all...

This version went 5-0 post-ban. I like the list, some interesting inclusions (Scarab God...?? Really?) :eek:

Here's an interesting take post-ban that went 5-0 on MTGO.

Bomat Courier is very intriguing in this kind of shell... thoughts?

Latest 5-0's are out on MTGO post ban, this is the version listed for Grixis Control.

Some interesting choices, thoughts?

Side note, really...

I feel your pain man.... in a lot of ways, it would have been far easier if Brainstorm got banned instead of DRS. I'm hopeful there will still be a control deck available in legacy that isn't...

Im someone who was affected by the banning and it basically makes my deck unplayable now; however, as much as I feel DRS was keeping reanimator in check (and how I loath facing that in tournaments...

This is my take as well.... don't know how 4C can live now without deathrite, you can't just swap in 4 BoP, deathrite is one card that is literally irreplaceable.

That said, BUG and Grixis shells...

I agree, it likely makes more sense to stick with red due to K-Command and Bolts. Green also has Leovold but I think Kess would be a good solution.

I'm just saying, there's lots of choices and we...

Oh sorry, that came out wrong. Yes absolutely they rely on deathrites but I don't think the deck instantly dies as a result of the banning. They'll adapt the same as the other deathrite decks.

Solid point. I played RUG delver for a while and IIRC it traditionally never played any basics at all. A Blood Moon was nearly impossible to break out of, especially if you had a slow hand and...

Sultai Leovold was a thing before the bannings as well, which doesn't rely on deathrites. I think both Grixis Control and BUG Control shells are reasonable to go into now, and make sure you all load...

Yeah, it'll have to go into BUG or Grixis, depending on what you want to do...

Sadness

Couldn't agree more on the 3rd hymn, I too play 3 and can't see myself going back. There's just too many times it wins games, actually my spell suite looks fairly similar to yours. Currently I'm on 3...

I have not tried the 3rd Jace but I think if I was adding another planeswalker to the MD, it would be a Liliana, the Last Hope over a 3rd Jace. Jace IS awesome, he wins a lot of games but having 2...
