This Grismold list is unlike the standard one you’ll find on EDHREC. You are looking to go tall, like normal, with options to go wide or drain the table with Bastion of Remembrance. However, it does not use enchantments like Virulent Plague to grow Grismold. It’s all about control. Granting the other players threat-means (see my previous articles for more information on Political Position Theory) buys you valuable time while granting you an important resource that you can pull the trigger on at any time. You will be pumping out more tokens than the other players with Doubling Season-effects while holding onto sorcery and instant removal, like Bile Blight, to shift positions at your whim.

This list gives plenty of safety valves. Our Overrun effects like Triumph of the Hordes and “tall” cards like Hatred are important to swinging a losing game in our favor. We get plenty of ways to remove threats big, small, and difficult-to-handle. We ideally can take on any situation and outlast any anyone with our card advantage engine of Seasons Past plus Dark Petition. https://edhrec.com/articles/edh-political-science-safety-valve/
