I think Rapacious One would be a great addition here. Also, Essence Feed is pretty much what Grixis stands for. It pumps your Thraximundar while you gain mana!

Consuming Vapors is a pretty cool card in EDH, as you can target a different player on the Rebound.

Sit I must say you have broken so many basic rules I have been taught in EDH construction. I would have to say replace all your cards that are single shots to more recycable cards like for exmaple the Sun's Zeniths and Beacons.

@Kori

Yeah, so he can draw card:Red Sun's Zenith instead of Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker .

Good call.

im not sure if tht was sarcasm or not but i think i would rather have Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker in play than burn someone with card:Red Sun's Zenith and hope to draw it again later

Sarcasm was, indeed, intended.

Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker is a great use of 8 mana. card:Red Sun's Zenith is not.

I was never talking about Nicol, I don't even know how u guys "got take out Nicol" with "replace all your cards that are single shots to more recycable cards". I was just saying Red sun is better then something like Doom Blade because it recycles itself since EDH is usally a long game.

But the odds of drawing a specific card even once are low, let alone recycling something without having it countered and then drawing it again.

I never said "take out Nicol". All I'm saying is that most one-shot cards are better than recycling cards, especially card:Red Sun's Zenith (which isn't even good to begin with... Give me a Comet Storm any day).

Doom Blade > RSZ. Spending 9 mana to kill off a big creature, or 2? 7 mana isn't worth the recycling, especially when you only have a 2% chance to draw that card again.

You're saying that you'd rather draw card:Red Sun's Zenith than Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker while sitting at 8 mana? facepalm

if i really need to recycle stuff i can always pop the Elixir of Immortality kinda why i am running it so i don't run out of steam... the only zenith that is any good in my colors is the black one and i am running it as for the beacons again the only one i would consider is the black one (possibly blue but i think it would gernerate more hate against me in multiplayer than i would want since most of my turns are draw-land-go it would be a waste) but it's not quite what i want to do with this deck

got a Sol Ring im wanting to put in... any suggestions as to what to take out?

For Sol Ring , maybe a Swamp. Sol Ring almost acts as a land, so taking out one of your least effective lands for (theoretically) a better one is the smartest choice, IMHO.

Also, Morgue Toad . You're welcome.

PS. Countersquall > Negate .

And I still think you could do with more creatures. Creatures with Evoke are perfect for Thraximundar , since you get their Evoke effects and immediately sacrifice them. Things like Ingot Chewer and Mulldrifter would rule.

That's a list of every nongreen, nonwhite creature ever printed whose text contains the words "Sacrifice" and "Creature", but not "Artifact", "Enchantment", or "Land". Browse through that ****.

i'm actually working on gettin a Countersquall still noone in my group has them and the shop i go to is sold out :( ill look into some creatures that i have with evoke

Jewrummer says... #11

I have a countersquall if you would like though I have no idea how the tappedout trading scene works lol

July 21, 2011 4:11 p.m.

Justarsaus says... #12

looking for anything?

August 13, 2011 4:55 a.m.

i really like this deck. i run a sedris deck that could use a boost. might look into what you got to help mine out. thanks :D

August 23, 2011 5:01 a.m.

Justarsaus says... #14

i dont really use many creatures to use sedris's ability

Hazek says... #15

I tried this in my local meta. Use one counter spell and everyone at the table targets me. With the low amount of creatures, I usually never had any kind of defense.

1v1 this deck rocks. Multiplayer... it could use some work

September 5, 2011 4:35 a.m.

Justarsaus says... #16

that is really the prob i have had :( any suggestions?

September 8, 2011 4:20 a.m.

Hazek says... #17

You need more deterrence factors to the deck. I know there's a couple of enchantments that kill any creature that hits you.

Phyrexian Arena For card advantage.

Also no Demonic Tutor ?

September 8, 2011 4:54 a.m.

Justarsaus says... #18

Phyrexian Arena was in one of the very first versions of this deck but i cut it for jace as for the Demonic Tutor i would love to have one but none of my friends have one for trade :(

September 16, 2011 3:38 p.m.

Hazek says... #19

I'd honestly rather go with Phyrexian Arena than Jace. Jace makes the game Archenemy tbh. As soon as I play Jace, everyone and their mother targets me. KILL JACE!!!

Arena is a threat, but TBH no one in their right mind targets that first instead of a Grave Pact or No Mercy . Spiteful Visions might be worth a look vs niz-mezzet decks.

September 17, 2011 3:49 a.m.

Justarsaus says... #20

working on getting a No Mercy and Spiteful Visions when i do ill up date

I really like this deck build you have for thrax a lot. +1. I just made my first thrax edh deck, and it seems like its doing well so far but i'm always looking for suggestions and opinions from others. deck:saximundar-edh

June 10, 2012 12:56 p.m.

Justarsaus says... #22

updated to try and make it better for multiplayer... hopefully

Zzdragon23 says... #23

Just one idea I had (did a quick check of the comments and saw nothing of this), how about Rooftop Storm ? Just an idea to get your Thrax out easily and get the Pharoh out easily? Just get it out and then say "I cast Thrax for free now". then watch the lawls go on and on and on XP

August 6, 2012 9:53 p.m.

Justarsaus says... #24

i can't believe i over looked that card its awesome ill have to look into getting one and look into some other powerful zombays

August 6, 2012 11:08 p.m.

Zzdragon23 says... #25

Heh, hey it happens to all of us dude, besides the owner of the shop I go to thought of that XP It's honestly hilarious.
