Fish Five-0: Grixis Midrange (Standard, Magic Arena)


A lot of people have been asking, is Grixis still viable? The answer is yes! It won't be in the form of control but it's going to play a more midrange game and sokos13 agrees! Sokos13 got a sweet 5-0 with this!

Gameplan

We're just playing a little bit of the Rakdos midrange gameplan but we've added blue for these 

$ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00

These two cards are insanely powerful right now and usually can run away with games if left uncheck. We also did add a dragon that has taken the backseat temporarily... that's right! Niv-Mizzet, Parun 

$ 0.00 $ 0.00

Conclusion

The deck felt weird without a ton of card filtering as I normally would like something like Discovery // Dispersal. I also can't tell if it's my own love for Angrath, the Flame-Chained but I feel like we should be playing a single copy of this in the main as having a planeswalker can attack on a different axis. I would also like to try adding Nicol Bolas, the Ravager but overall this deck was definitely in the direction I'd like to move forward with if I were to be a Grixis mage!

See you at the next one!

The current iteration of Allies in standard plays a lot like humans of old but is the mana in standard good enough to not stumble? The allies we'd get in black like Mai and Rock Rioter allow us to metagame Standard!
