Good article

Ive been playing Grixis midrange for a while now. Even took it to a top 8 RPTQ finish, so I think I can give you some advice here

-Spell Snare main is where you want to be right now. Jund is actually a really though matchup since if they hit you twice with a goyf chances are you wont ever come back. And it also helps in other matchups hitting key cards inxluding, but not limited to: Plating, ravager, snapcaster mage, eidolon, atarkas command, boros charm, summer bloom. Which makes it a great maindeck inclusion right now

– 2 nd liliana is not worth it. Sometimes when you draw it it is the Best card in the deck. But risking to get your hand all clogged up between lilianas, pia and commands is a big risk to take. In short, your curve cannot support it.

– Dont skimp on affinity hate so much. The matchup is good but not one sided. And you really really want to secure this mwp

– If you want grindy cards that excel in blue matchups and vs BGx play both ashiok and keranos. Keranos is an extremely powerfull magic card and the best in these grindy matchups by a mile. Ashiok, on the other hand, comes down early enough so you can protect it, generates value and then dies after buying a lot of time. Specially if we consider that abrupt decay. His worst enemy is activelly bad vs us and most bgx oponent will trim on it

Good article :). Just a quick note: I don’t think you can beat abzan with grixis control and I don’t think it’s remotely beatable x).

I wonder how can you play two maindeck copies of Chandra’s parents in a format when gainst so many decks it could as well be a blank? That list looks like a standard deck to me

To be honest I really don’t like Jessup’s list… Grixis control should be majority blue and I see just few cs over there what totally doesn’t make any sense when you are playing blue based deck… I think that deck need at least 2 cryptics, more remands/mana leaks/spell snares and stuff like that.. Pia and Kiran and Rise//Fall was worst cards in the deck for me, I really don’t know what people see on them.. I would play 4th Snapcaster cause that card is so much value and Gurmag as it is in some ways better than Tasigur.. Maybe 2 banana men and one fish could be good.. I played that deck much and really ended in opinion that pia, lavamancer (maybe put him into sb but he is slow for some aggro matchups) and Rise was the worst cards in the deck… This deck is calling control so don’t make some shitty kind of grixis midrange/random stuff from it please… I understand that Jessup wanted from this deck that it would do everything but it do nothing on 100%.. When people call it “control” there have to be more cs and maybe some powerful pw like 2-3 lilis mb

I run a grixis midrange list similar to this and a mainboard tribute to hunger and another sideboard has been nothing short of amazing for me. Life loss is real for this deck, and even the smallest bit helps.

Grixis is a worthless choice in a sold out gp. Amulet bloom though, that Adam guy lifts.

Not sure why you spend your article talking about how dangerous it is for people to be cutting cards against Burn and Affinity and then show us a Grixis list that cuts a good number of hate cards against Burn and Affinity.
