Grixis Dragons - Because we hate white peo--- cards.

WELCOME TO ANOTHER SEPARATIST IDEA BY SPEEDY!

So... I like finding interesting and unpopular decks that are can hold their own in tier 2 and tier 1 meta.

As such - I really dislike the meta.

I hate Esper Dragons. I hate the argument that it has to be the staple of control because of cards like Silumgar's Scorn and Foul-Tongue Invocation.

FINE!

You kids win. But that doesn't mean I have to play white.

So I give you an Esper control list that was more or less directly reformed into a Grixis list, using Dragonlord Kolaghan and Thunderbreak Regent.

I've given it a handful of runs on XMAGE so far and it's rather impressive. Whether or not it's better than Esper remains to be seen. I prefer to think neither is better.

And I DO NOT want to hear your arguments that it's stupid to play Grixis over Esper. I frankly don't care. Meta mass produced garbage is quite annoying at times and last I checked we were here to invent decks, not look like the TOP 8.

What I do want to hear is thoughts and suggestions for sideboard tech and maybe cards that would serve stronger puroses here.

If I like this deck enough I'll write a fancy description later.

Enjoy.
