Your betraying Grixis? But I thought that was all you cared about!

LadyGrixis

I care the MOST about Grixis ;) I dabble in other such wizardry.

Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth

I'd consider {Unflinching Courage}. I wins LOTS of games. Especially because you can just trample over Elspeth tokens.

LadyGrixis

That's a really good suggestion! What would you substitute out?

I'm not sure. Maybe some of the mana dorks.

You need some type of enchantment removal... {burning earth} will destroy you.

I would say the {Hopeful Eidolon}s could come out. I know they can be chump blockers late game, but then they are worthless. {Unflinching Courage} could win earlier do you don't need to get chump blockers. But theoretically both are solid.

I think this goes along with the {Unflinching Courage} post. If you're running 4 of this card, and it's on any creature, you can get past the damage of {Burning Earth} from the massive lifelink advantage

i'd suggest {polukranos, world eater} as a finisher.

Arbitratur

I would probably take out the eidelons as well. I would also consider a playset of {chained to the rocks}

LadyGrixis

I would likely sideboard the {Chained to the Rocks}, since non creature-based decks wouldn't be affected by it. {Unflinching Courage} is a definite thought, otherwise I'm still debating on further additions.

LadyGrixis

Finished, wish me luck this weekend guys!

why three xenagos with 7 creatures?
Elspeth, assemble, advent, selesnya charm. She has more than 7 creatures.

Also is suggest running  {Polukranos, World Eater} over loxodon smiter. Smiter is a good card but if your gunna be running such a controlling deck a vanilla 4/4 is not nearly as good as a 5/5 that can destroy creatures.
