Is Thassa mainly used as just a scry? To me it doesn't seem like she will be that useful. Takes up the space where a counter could be used instead. Also do you not have any blood crypts?

Leave Grixis to Lady!
Jk, I appreciate how you were going old school with the {Cancel}, but {Dissolve} is the same cost plus a little treat!

{Aqueous Form} works well too
Quote from: respawned on October 10, 2013, 03:37:50 AMI think you can cut {Stymied Hopes} as you have quite a bit of counters now and you don't want to just sit with a hand of countersQuote from: Mattao19 on October 10, 2013, 03:27:18 AMQuote from: respawned on October 10, 2013, 01:10:11 AMQuote from: Foreplay0333 on October 09, 2013, 08:19:17 PM

Lordy, so many options! I'm not QUITE sure what you're going for....looks like lots of burn and some control.
It also seems more Izzet-flavored, seeing as the main color in Grixis is normally black. But I'm diggin' the Spellheart Chimeras....and I understand what you're doing with Young Pyromancer, but I don't really like him in a Grixis (I like him in Red Deck Wins & Aggro Burn). Thassa is also nice to have, but I'm wondering if she fits as well in this type of deck.
But I'll just give you a list of THINGS that I like for Grixis.
{Ætherize}
{Agent of the Fates}
{Artificer's Hex}
{Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver}
{Baleful Eidolon}
{Turn / Burn}
{Chandra's Phoenix}
{Coerced Confession}
{Consuming Aberration}
{Cryptborn Horror}
{Doom Blade}
{Desecration Demon}
{Dimir Charm}
{Dreadbore}
{Goblin Electromancer}
{Gridlock}
{Grim Return}
{Hypersonic Dragon}
{Izzet Charm}
{Killing Glare}
{Lifebane Zombie}
{Lightning Strike}
{Liliana's Reaver}
{Mind Grind}
{Nighthowler}
{Nightveil Specter}
{Rakdos Shred-Freak}
{Rakdos Cackler}
{Spike Jester}
{Ultimate Price}
{Viper's Kiss}
{Voyage's End}
{Wight of Precinct Six}
{Wring Flesh}
I absolutely love pairing Agent of the Fates with Voyage's End, for the following reason: You can bounce it back to your hand and sac someone else's stuff! And the Scry is nice.
Viper's Kiss I didn't enjoy initially; but I love it now because it completely stops annoying/amazing creature abilities: Ex. AEtherling, if they're all tapped out.
All Zombies and Demons are a must, of course, as well as cards that pull things from/work off of graveyards (Nighthowler, Grim Return, Consuming Aberration).
But really, Grixis is all about fun & flavor....so play what you like and like what you play! :D Nicol Bolas would just enjoy that he has another minion running about doing his biddings.
