After like two weeks of trying to brew something for today's Standard, I finally bit the bullet and just updated my old Innistrad-M13-RTR Grixis control deck.

So far all I've done is replace all the illegal cards with their legal approximations and made a couple more tweaks, but it still has a ways to go! I doubt it's quite so simple as replacing Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker with Jace, Memory Adept .

I'd really appreciate some tips on bringing this thing up to spec. Street Spasm is far from Magmaquake , and I have no idea if Shock is even remotely as useful in this environment as Pillar of Flame was in its time. I'm considering Herald of Torment in lieu of Nightveil Specter , but neither of them really holds a candle to Vampire Nighthawk .

The card-drawing engine also might need some slight tuning, I think. Or I might just fiddle with the numbers some. Underworld Connections doesn't really hold a candle to Bloodgift Demon .
