This is my second Zirda decklist, this time focusing on Grixis instead of Naya. This list mainly focuses around abusing Knight of the Ebon Legion's pump being reduced to instead of . Even though this deck can be fast, I find that it plays more midrange.

Spectral Sailor and Faerie Formation are abusable, reusable draw engines. Shadowspear keeps you alive and gives Knight of the Ebon Legion trample, which is a very good combo with deathtouch. Same thing with Embercleave, but this usaully just closes out games. Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God is included as a one-of for games that last a bit longer than usual.

I've included Fling as a combo with Knight of the Ebon Legion's reduced pump. You can either use this to get in for extra damage after a swing to kill, or to get past defenses that you weren't able to get past fast enough.

I haven't made a sideboard for this deck yet.
