Help with building a Deck around Grimgrin

Deck Help forum

Posted on Jan. 10, 2012, 8:20 p.m. by Ryuzaki2783

Hey , I am relatively new to building decks and recently have been considering building a deck around Gringrin, Corpse - Born . I know this will need a ton of low cost creatures to sac and be a Blue /Black deck . So right now I'm looking for input on what I should consider putting into it. Looking at a 60 card format.

Do you care if the deck is standard-legal?

Do you have a budget?

Are there any preferences of yours we should be aware of?

Answer those and we will be better prepared to help you.

There is combo with Grimgrin, Corpse-Born and Necrotic Ooze and Bloodline Keeper  Flip  FlipMTG Card: Lord of Lineage. You may want to try that.

Reassembling Skeleton could work out well, and there's an awesome black zombie coming out in Dark Ascension called Gravecaller, 2/1 for B and you can play him from your graveyard if you control a zombie

Bitterblossom is good if you don't care about playing in Standard.

Ponder (Standard-legal), Preordain , Brainstorm , and Spy Network are good ways to find your combo pieces.

You can look to token producing fodder in other colors, such as Midnight Haunting and Doomed Traveler , but there's still Bloodline Keeper  Flip  FlipMTG Card: Lord of Lineage and the new sorin coming out.

Good suggestions ! Reassembling Skeleton was definitely one that was in my mind so at least that is confirmed . As for the questions :Do you care if the deck is standard-legal? I am running Legacy

Do you have a budget? Not really but am willing to spend a bit if needed.

Are there any preferences of yours we should be aware of? Still working that out myself but mostly have a preference to Black and its double edge style .

If you're looking into Legacy, Bloodghast plus fetchlands like Verdant Catacombs and Marsh Flats is another good source of sacrifice outlets.
