Although I will lose some cards, but not much. When RtR comes out it could come out with better finishers or Planeswalkers that can have synergy with this type of build. At least one can hope. Let me know what y'all think about the deck. What changes y'all would make or cards I should have in the deck.

Updated the list with a few ideas I had.

{chandra the firebrand} works super well in mine. I have used her to copy {sorins vengance} and instawin lol

I have seen some Grixis list include her. Does she really work well with the deck or is she just a copy for {Sorin's vengeance}. What I mean is does she do more then just copy spells for the deck.

Updated with an other bonfire and bolas and I'm trying out Chandra.

I will be playing this deck at FNM tomorrow. Is there any thing anybody can think to add or remove I would like to hear it.

Personnaly {Charmbreaker Devils} is one of my absolute favorite cards for any instant/scorcery based deck.

I have thought of that, but my thinking for that was post rotation rather then right now. If I was to add it right now what should I replace it with?

This was the version I played tonite at fnm and made top 4.

Updated the list... I added a little more kill in the sideboard to deal with my meta. Which is mostly infect and r/g aggro. Still looking for advice if you can provide it.

You have a bonfire in a sideboard ?

My meta right now is mostly mono-green infect or wolf-run RUG. Bonfire doesn't do much against them; not like how it is against control, r/g aggro, and delver. So I keep 1 sideboard for those matchups. Which right now are few and far between.

Updated with {spellskite} in the sideboard. This should help with the infect matchup.

Does anybody have anything to add or questions about card choses?

Updated the list. I added {bloodgift demon} to the deck. I noticed in my meta that no one was playing {dismember} or {vapor snag} this past week; so I wanted to give the demon a try. It's a good card that has not have a chance to shine yet.

Went undefeated tonight with this current build.

Nice, good job on the deck. I like all the singleton win cons.

Thanks....I love this deck. I put alot thought into this deck. I have so much fun playing it. It has so many answers to a lot of decks being played right now. I really don't have a problem getting the cards I need to win in any match I have played. Again it's a lot of fun to play.

I recommend this deck to any one who wants to play something different.

Bump...with a minor change to the side board.

I agree about {Bloodgift demon} being a good card that has not had its chance to shine.  I run a playset it a {heartless summoning} deck and they are like big ole flying Bobs...I love em when you can cast them for 3 mana....or hard cast at 5 mana to help you search for more cards.

A 5/4 flying {Phyrexian arena}???? Yes please!!!!


Ohh and he is optional so he can help with that final 1 dmg you need.

Exactly....you don't have to just use that ability to draw for your self. If your close to ending the game make your opponent draw. I like using it with {consicreated sphinx} on my upkeep make my opponent draw then draw 2 off the sphinx. Then if I have {staff of nin} out I get to draw a total of 4 cards a turn. Not to mention the other draw spells I have.
