Are you trying to keep this a budget friendly deck?

Very nice. How has it played so far?

Maybe Fade Into Antiquity in your sideboard so you can get rid of any gods. That's about the only thing I could see this deck having trouble with.

Oh, damn. That's a great idea.

Thanks!

Interesting changes. A 5/6 indestructible, vigilance for 4 isn't bad. Do you think you'd use his second ability much? Also, two of your creatures already have vigilance...

Coolness. I do happen to have some Reckoners, so I might try to build this. Thanks for the link!

Have you had a chance to try it out yet?

What did you change and why? (Sorry, I'm too lazy to look up his deck. :P)

Would reeeeeeally like some feedback! :)

Yes, if you are running red with Sliver, Thorncaster Sliver is a must.

Deck looks good and fun! Well done!

You could probably go down to 18 lands and then put in a Krenko or a Goblin Chieftain. Either one of them should still be within your budget.

If you're not running any of the shocklands, then do something like 9 mountains, 8 forests, and 5 plains.

Holy crap, I didn't even notice that. Yes... WAY too much land. Get it down to 20-22.

Yes, this would move insanely fast haha

Have you had a chance to play it yet?

Should definitely run 4 Manaweft Slivers if you are running three colors.

Alright. Everyone interested, I made a new Grixis deck taking a lot of advice from Snakerunners.

Thank you for such an in-depth response.

I'll increase the lands for sure. I want land and I'll need plenty of it haha

I didn't ignore Hero's Downfall at all. I almost put it in. I decided not to because of the two black in the cost. In my opinion, two of one color in the cost is too much of a burden. Dreadbore does the same thing (even though it's sorcery speed, I know) but it costs one less and doesn't cost two of one color. It can also target the same things Hero's Downfall can. I could probably switch out Doom Blade with something else.

Yeah, Slaughter Games and Reap Intellect can definitely be sideboarded.

I can see what you mean about Psychic Intrusion. You're right; by the time I would be able to even cast that card, my opponent probably won't have many cards in their hand. They might not even have many in their graveyard and it wouldn't be worth it for how much it costs to cast.

Counterflux is definitely nice and I seriously considered it as well, but again, it has a mandatory cost of two blue and one red. If I don't have that combination, it's a dead card. With the good combination of mana this deck has, not having blue or red may not happen very often, but if it does, it's completely useless. At least with Syncopate I only need one blue and can use any color, plus it gets exiled. I think I'll stick with it.

I can definitely see Aetherling being a replacement for the Spellheart Chimera. I don't like the mandatory two blue, but if it's that late in the game, I SHOULD have at least two blue mana on hand.

Far // Away and Turn // Burn are great ideas to deal with gods and/or anything that indestructible. Great suggestions... thank you.

I really want to add Jace, Architect of Thought. He would be an excellent addition. I think he works well with Ashiok.

Thassa with Master of Cruelties is brilliant!

Frostburn Weird is not a bad idea... plus it would survive Anger of the Gods. I think I'll make room for it.

Yeah, I don't think card drawing will be that important. If you have the Scry lands, then you should be fine. I'll make sure to throw some in here, too.

Snakerunners, thank you so much for taking the time to make such a detailed response. It's very helpful and is very appreciated!

If you want it to go faster, you'd definitely want to cut out some of the higher costing cards. Check this deck out:

It's not even my deck, but it's brutal and moves REALLY fast. Should give you some good ideas.

Looks very fun! How fast are you usually able to defeat your opponent(s)?

Looks fun! Honestly I would try and work Ashiok into the mainboard. He's just too damn nasty.

I took some ideas from your deck and made my own Grixis control deck. Mind checking it out?
