How to handle Assemble the Legion with grixis?
Standard forum

All the enchantment removal is with green and white, the best I have come up with is taking it out with Thoughtseize or Slaughter Games , killing him before it does much, Cyclonic Rift and then killing them as fast as possible, etc.
Is there any better way in the grixis colors?
I'd say for Assemble the Legion specifically, try Illness in the Ranks

Duress Rakdos's Return Negate Psychic Strike are some other ways.

I personally default to 2 copies of Illness in the Ranks sideboard, as it gets rid of elspeth and assemble tokens. It isn't the only option, but I think it's the best.

I agree with Illness in the Ranks . It blanks out both Assemble the Legion and Elspeth, Sun's Champion tokens.
Izzet Staticaster is another option that could also be decent against aggro decks as well seeing as how they probably will take out a lot of their creature removal for games 2-3 depending on what TYPE of Grixis deck you are running (I'm assuming control)

and don't forget Jace, Architect of Thought gives them all -1/-0 until your next turn. Helps to stall until you find a permanent answer

I will have to try either Izzet Staticaster or Illness in the Ranks . I completely forgot about those.
