This is my favorite deck of all time. I have poured my heart and soul into this Grenzo deck. It pros are that there is always something to do with your excess mana, you dont have to play out your hand, and the % of hitting with Grenzo is very high. It can win out of the blue, and its a blast to pilot.

Starting Hand - Ideally you start the game with 3 lands (at least 1r 1b) and get Grenzo out on turn 2. Cards that speed up your gameplay very quickly are sol ring, ancient tomb, or other basic ramp. The artifact ramp attempts to be creature dependent so they can be hit by Grenzo and keep the % of accurate recursions higher.

GamePlan - Get Grenzo, react to others with his ability. Cards you can find in this deck can return creatures to their owners hand, exile creature, destroy target creatures, and have other possible effects such as sacrifice to deal damage. Getting out dockside is a fast way to get enough mana to combo off. There are no hard combos that you can find immediately, but ultimately getting abunch of treasures and using Marionette Master can close out a game quick.

Strenghts and weaknesses - This deck only really struggles against enchantments that control your board state, things that give Grenzo a -1/-1 counter, and graveyard hate. The game looks to use its graveyard as a toolbox as soon as possible. The deck doesn't use card tutors, but instead tutors for grave, or to summon, with a few exceptions. It is very easy with one or two artifact enablers i.e. Heartstone, deserted tomb, Ashnod's Altar to start to combo off. The whole deck is power 2 or less, and will usually find an answer or produce enough mana to keep searching.

Sideboard - Every card in the sideboard has had time to be drawn or played in multiple games. If I don't feel the impact, I cycle them out to try new cards. If there are cards that you really enjoy in the sideboard, they are more than welcome to join the mainboard. Its adaptable to your needs.
