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

Want to see if I can make a competitive Grixis control deck for the Modern format. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please also evaluate the sideboard. Let's get some good comments on this one! Thanks in advance!

Deck discussion for Grixis Modern

Definitely not bad. Kinda similar to a deck Zac Hill used:
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/zac-hills-grixis-delver/

Liliana is very good, I'm just not sure if this is the greatest deck for her, she singlehandedly raises your average cmc a lot, and you have a realistic concern for Bob burning you out. The only reason decks like Deathblade in legacy can run high curves with Bob is because of lifegain from batterskull, jitte, and opposing swords. Grixis really doesn't have access to reliable lifegain (outside of deathrite - no guarantee for creatures to exile) and thus requires you to be more careful with your life. This also means you should try to include Delver, it fits in the build (cut lily for it) and it provides the fast clock you need.

As for sideboard: Spellskite is always a must, it just shuts down infect and boggled enchantments. Also, I like fulminator mage but I think Sowing Salt is more what you're looking for. You already have deathrite for maindeck graveyard hate, but a couple tormod's crypt / relic of progenitus could really help your matchup with Living End.

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it. I am going to try the deck with liliana and also with delver instead to see which works better. I definitely will find some room for a few spellskite in the sideboard. I will see if sowing salt works a bit better. Thanks again!
