Welcome to version 3.0

---

This a typical Grixis Control build. Low cost hand disruption, burn spells, some value/speudo tempo cards and annoying counterspells.All in all efficient spells.

Just a few words and a 3 steps gameplan.

Step 1 of the game plan is fixing your mana for Cryptic Command at turn 4 and being able to cast any combination of spells the deck yields.

Step 2 is to never become tapped out until the end of the opponents turn if possible while swinging Electrolyze for pseudo tempo play and interrupting game plans by forced discard and removing threats.

Step 3 starts at the point of established board control and being sure to resolve one of our threats (Tasigur, the Golden Fang/Batterskull/Keranos, God of Storms).

If step 3 unfortunately fails, which should not happen, start plan B. Creeping Tar Pit/Snapcaster Mage beat down.
