Sideboard


Maybeboard



This is my Grixis () Splinter Twin deck, featuring the Deceiver Exarch + Splinter Twin / Pestermite + Splinter Twin combo. Like many Twin decks, this one plays many tempo cards for when the combo pieces either can't be found or can't be played.Thoughtseize and Inquisition of Kozilek replace some of the counters you typically find in /x Twin decks. They have the advantages of disrupting your opponent early, protecting your combo, and hitting uncounterable cards like Abrupt Decay, Rending Volley , and Combust . Tasigur, the Golden Fang and Creeping Tar Pit are fantastic beaters that your opponent must answer, which can be difficult when you can combo-off out of nowhere if they tap out or burn through their removal. also opens the deck up to a plethora of sideboard options.

Card Choices

This section contains my justifications for running one card over another, or for how I split my inclusions. I will add to this list as interesting discussions or playtest results occur. Don't be shy about making card suggestions. I love discussing possible additions!


Matchups

This section contains information about individual matches, including gameplay advice, cards to watch out for, and sideboarding ideas. (This is still a work in progress).










I've made several edits to the deck recently. As such, I would love to hear your playtest results! I can always use some constructive criticism and/or advice. Thanks!

I am especially interested in playtest results against the following archetypes: Abzan, RDW, Affinity, Twin, Bloom Titan, and Scapeshift. Any cards that were dead, mediocre, or especially good from either side would be great to hear about.
