ok, well I really like your deck so I made an edit with some changes that you might want to think about. I tried to not add anything that would be to expensive and keep the play style and win conditions true to the original. Grixis why you so cruel (AckermanEdit)

AndrewAckerman I do like Read the Bones but being a form of life loss makes it really hard when you don't have any form of lifegain I does get you some sweet card advantage and I do like that but against those red decks makes it kinda hard that's why I went with the 1 mana extra no downside instant speed. I have thought about running Thoughtsieze main so many time maybe I just dump Despise and run 3 Thoughtsieze main and see how it goes for a week opens up 2 more cards for sideboard also Mindswipe did do a lot of work for me am thinking about pulling it main over the Disdainful Stroke and siding them.

yeah the real big thing is Steam Augury over Weave Fate , its just a vastly better card.

AndrewAckerman hmm yeah I think I will chuck them in and give them a run see how they go I do agree they are a good card and only reason they were looked down on was because Jace there are a lot of cards I have overlooked as I threw this together a few days before game day and there will be a lot of stronger cards I can run :)

Steam Augury is good but I always liked Treasure Cruise as a fifth-of Dig Through Time . I would switch out your weaves for the fourth Dig and a Cruise.

AndrewAckerman says... #8
yeah the problem with Treasure Cruise is he'll have problems delving without anything to fuel his graveyard, one of the best parts about Steam Augury is that it will put 2 or 3 cards in the grave for Dig Through Time or Murderous Cut .
Also the more I play around with this deck the more I think it needs some early game threats so it doesn't get wrecked by every aggro deck under the sun. Things like Goblin Rabblemaster or Monastery Swiftspear should work.

how about some Disowned Ancestor s in the sideboard for when you go against extreme aggro. you'll have early blockers, plus those guys don't die to your own Anger of the Gods .

SoulSealer says... #11
did not think about Disowned Ancestor at all and if they have nothing I can just start making him bigger that's a really good idea

and I have to agree with AndrewAckerman even running 3 Dig Through Time I was finding I had to hard cast the last one due to running out of Delve fodder to use on it and that makes Murderous Cut really bad sometimes

Jace, the Living Guildpact works really well with Keranos, God of Storms . Also, don't underestimate Jace's -3 bounce ability. As well as his -8 hand replenisher and works well against mill decks. And he helps your Delve cards out a lot!

well I was thinking about dropping Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver just because my 3 drops are so jammed up maybe I could do some testing with Jace, the Living Guildpact and see how it goes.

I also think Chandra, Pyromaster could be an interesting one of

+1 for grixis control. I would recommend at least a couple of Lightning Strike for early game removal and late game face burn.
October 22, 2014 8:32 p.m.
SoulSealer says... #18
thanks for the upvote BlatantLizard I have thought about burn spells like that before I think I would more lean to Magma Jet just for the scry advantage it gives me.
I was sick this week and was unable to attend FnM to see how my deck went give me more of an idea of what I was missing but will have to see If I can do something in next week or so Pax Melbourne this Friday so no magic again :(

Cut Burn Away from the sideboard. 5 mana is a lot for not even a guaranteed kill and graveyard based strategies aren't all that prevalent currently.
October 28, 2014 5:08 p.m.
If Mogis and Keranos are one of your main wincons, why not have 2 of each?
I'd recommend Perilous Vault because it has crazy board presence.
I feel like i'm saying what everyone else has said, but replace Weave Fate with Steam Augury or Jace's Ingenuity

@Jedne2 what would you guy for additional Mogis and Keranos I find that I only need 1 or the other to resolve to be able to win and yeah I have been thinking about Steam Augury as well now also could may run 1 AEtherspouts and 1 Perilous Vault ? using Liliana Vess to dig for things makes finding cards easy :).
October 28, 2014 8:40 p.m.
I find it problematic using Liliana to dig for something, as it forms a little bit of a crutch, dig through time does it's job well.

no life-lands? They mana fix and give you a little life gain, which this deck is sorely lacking in.
October 29, 2014 6 p.m.
SoulSealer says... #24
@BlatantLizard I prefer the scry advantage over the life gain the only thing I may change is a few of the fetch lands for them but untapped land is really valuable vs all these agro decks around. what would you drop for them.
October 29, 2014 6:05 p.m.
Polymorphist's Jest then bile blight for a creature wipe. plus 1
AndrewAckerman says... #1
This seems pretty strong. I'ld make some suggestions, but if you're top 8ing at game day you clearly know what works for you. +1
