Post Rotation Grixis Tripple-8 Dragons
Standard Deck Help forum

While it's hard to know for sure what I'll play without seeing the whole set based on what's available so far this looks the most solid.
If there is even one good 
or 
control card I may end up playing Jund Tripple-8 Dragons. I don't particularly care for the dragons but it's very easy for the deck to splash 
for Silumgar, the Drifting Death or Dragonlord Silumgar, especially with Silumgar Monument. So we'll see what happens.
Because I have a lot of 6 drop dragons. I do agree the card is sort of sub par but it has worked well while play-testing. I'm going to test it out later with Anticipate.

In all honesty I don't think you can waste your T3 (or any other turn after that) to play Silumgar Monument when other decks like Abzan or Jeskai play premium threats like Anafenza, the Foremost and Mantis Rider. It's like saying: go ahead beat me to death I will start playing magic with you when my lifetotal is -10...

You've got a good point there with the Mantis Rider especially. The haste is not something I want to just be like "oh whatever I can board wipe next turn".
I'll remove them and add more Foul-Tongue Invocation and land.

The original idea was 8 of the new duals, 8 fetches and 8 basics. Without the Monuments this isn't really possible for Grixis Dragon/Control decks. On the upside 8 dragons is a good number so I decided to keep the name because you have 8 fetches, 8 duals, and 8 dragons.
I like that I have 8 8 8 so I'm not changing the name.

But why "tripple" instead of the correctly spelled triple?

Why would you play Silumgar Monument, it just seems like a lack luster card for standard.
