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.

ChrisRodriguez · August 21, 2012, 06:43:44 AM

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.

ChrisRodriguez · August 21, 2012, 12:33:41 PM

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

ChrisRodriguez · August 22, 2012, 09:05:31 PM

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