Catch me if you can, i'm the Grimgerbread man!

Welcome all to my Grimgrin, Corpse-Born EDH deck! I call the deck "The Grimgerbread Man" because he's so often overlooked, and then he takes off and can't be stopped. There's some things to know, so sit back and listen closely. We'll be playing a deck of control, of combo, of tutors, of voltron and of straight up zombie tribal! There are various wincons available to you, and a whole lotta ways to get them to you're hand.

The Combos

I suppose I'll start here. The most notable combos include the use of Rooftop Storm and Gravecrawler, along with one of my storm cards in the deck (including Brain Freeze, Bitter Ordeal, Flusterstorm and Tendrils of Agony) and a sac outlet, preferably Grimgrin.

Getting the Combo Pieces

There are many tutors in this deck.

Mystical Tutor: Used primarily to grab your storm cards.

Vampiric, Demonic and Diabolic Tutors: Very versatile for whatever the instance is.

Fabricate: To grab your equipment for Grimgrin or another important artifact like Phyrexian Altar.

Lim-Dul's Vault: Hard to call a normal tutor, but cycles the deck for Rooftop Storm and the likes.

Liliana Vess: Her minus two ability can grab you any card, like one of the versatile tutors.

Buried Alive: Mainly used to grab Gravecrawler.

The Control

I've included various counterspells, as well as Cyclonic Rift and Grave Pact. Also noticeable is Tamiyo, the Moon Sage. She taps down opponent's creatures, draws you valuable cards, and if somehow you get to her ultimate, you can return your creatures that die to your hand! You'll also get no maximum hand size. Just be weary, because this ultimate will shut down your storm combos. Another notable control piece is Propaganda, to keep your opponents away from you (And to help counter Yidiris players).

There's much more, but this description is already too long. Give me any advice below, and make sure to upvote!
