Pretty straightforward and somewhat budget build for Grenzo. The goal is to cast Grenzo for 3 or 4 mana and then pull either big creatures or good ETB effects from the deck for cheap.

This is simply a very rough start to this deck as I effectively just found a bunch of the cards that deal with the bottom of the library and ETB cards that have low power so that Grenzo can pull them out easily. Also, since Grenzo's ability is the main theme of the deck, I mainly stuck with creatures and a select few artifacts to raise the chances of pulling creatures rather than filling the graveyard. Additionally, the lack of lands is also attributed to the idea that the deck will only need about 4-6 lands the entire game just to pay for Grenzo's ability and bring him back out if he dies. For the maybeboard, I put some of these cards here for different reasons, but all boiling down to "I think this could work, but I'm not too sure", so if any of them seem to work, please let me know.

As this is only my first attempt at this deck, I am looking for any feedback and suggestions that would help this deck out.

Thanks!
