Sorry for all you budget builders out there, this deck is not for you. The decks main win conditions are Stormbreath Dragon or AEtherling. The Desecration Demons are mainly used to generate board presence. Jace, Architect of Thoughtis included as a good draw engine while Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver is in there purely because people are so afraid of what he could do they will stop at nothing to kill him. Pack Rat gets out of hand early making him extremely useful and a win condition by himself. Nightveil Specter takes cards away from your opponents to be used against them, and the dual mana cost makes them easy to play. Counterspells galore to prevent opponents from getting anything onto the field, and the kill spells deal with anything that does make it on. Spells like Anger of the Gods keep the field empty, and Rakdos's Return does the same to their hand. Cyclonic Rift can get you out of a tight spot, while Stormbreath Dragon and AEtherling finish the job. This deck should be able to handle anything anyone can throw at it dishing out tons of pain in the process.I'm bringing Grixis back, one game at a time.
