The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Grixis-based, mostly Alara. Meant to play it calm the first turns, blue for counter, black for simple killing and red for good old burning. The idea is to keep the battlefield clean until you can get the creatures out, and burn the opponents with Lightning/Blightning and Cruel Ultimatum. Blighning controls the opponent's hand, small creatures can be dealt with using Lightning Bolt, and huge token-like invasions are easily taken care of with Chain Reaction, Earthquake and Consume the Meek. Been testing it lately and so far, so good.

hi, the deck looks cool to play but you do not have creatures enought and without them is hard for you to win.
I don't know how you use Consume the meek, but perhaps you can add some creatures like, coralhelm commander (personaly I like it), reckless scholar (draw advantage), Kathari remnant (good defender with regenerate and cascad) or Nemesis of Reason... or even cunning sparkmage. there are a lot of good creatures that you can use.

Thanks, I'll have those creatures in mind. I'm testing the deck these days so I'll be able to see what it's missing exactly.
