Deck Description

This deck attacks from both sides, from the opponent's deck and his or her life total. The big finish would be when Grimoire is activated, putting a crapload of creatures on your side of the field. You can proliferate the grimoire for a faster finish.
Update: Changing up the deck!

Deck discussion for Grave Robbers

Looks pretty good, however, I don't believe that you need both the boots and the masks. I would drop the boots for 4 more islands. And also, the curse isn't really going to get you too far. Since you are running mill, I would suggest Nihil Spellbombs so that you can clear out a graveyard of like Solar Flare and the type. And a final suggestion, I would run only 2x Grimoire. While they are good, they are legendary, and you aren't exactly pitching critters to the yard. A Neurok Invisimancer, however, you be great to make sure your shrieker gets in there one turn for a good chunk of damage.

I think invisimancer would be a good creature to put in. The question is what should I replace?

I actually think that, if anything, the boots are much better than the mask as the boots are cheaper and give haste, which can really make a difference, however, i do think that running both of them is a good move as giving your creatures hexproof, a possibility of 8 different creatures at one time, is very appealing with all the good removal that there is currently. Also, i do agree that you probably only need 2x Grimoire, but i think the cures will really help you to be getting creatures in your opponents graveyard to take with the grimiore, but i also do think that you need atleast 4 more islands. i would probably drop 2x Grimoire of the Dead and 2x Avacyn Mask for 4x Island and i think it would help the deck out a lot.

I like the idea of dropping two grimoires and two masks for 4 Islands. Thanks!

the only problem i really see that might hold it up is 22 cards that cast 2 mana i might drop some invisimancers and a couple stalkers for some sun titans to bring back anything you want

I'm not sure.. Invisible stalker is kind of the kingpin of this deck. I don't really want to drop it. Memory's Journey, I think, does an okay job at this while still fitting in my mana base. Adding in the plains just for Sun Titan in my opinion would mess up the mana base for this deck. Thanks for the suggestion though :)
