Grimgrin is one of my all-time favorite creatures and EDH is my favorite format, so this was inevitable. This is a block based deck with all cards coming from Innistrad or Shadows over Innistrad. Please keep any card suggestions constrained thusly. I'm not a fan of the eldrazi thing and very sad that WOC messed up the Innistrad story line with it. If you wish to suggest Eldrich Moon spells, please refrain from any that are eldrazi based.
I also wanted to see what happens with a blue deck that does other kinds of bluish things in lieu of counter spells. So please keep that in mind if you make suggestions.Finally, if you all could suggest any other relevant tags, I'd appreciate it.
