This is the third deck I have played since I returned to paper Magic in 2016. It is my take on Grixis Death's Shadow, a deck similar to Grixis Delver but wins and loses faster. It is a strange combination of Suicide Black and Counterburn, two classic decks that I am fond of.

I have tested two variations of this deck: the mainstream Grixis Death's Shadow and Ryan Overturf's Grixis Death's Delver (Delver of Secrets in place of Street Wraith). After some testing, it seems that my meta is much more vulnerable to the mainstream Grixis Death's Shadow Deck. The one with the Delver of Secrets performed poorly.
