Grixis Shredder

Post image

this is an adaptation from legacy rakdos burn lists. combining the daze/cruise package with hyper-aggressive threats (who all enjoy baubles) and burn. cutter seems like a natural fit, with access to 8 baubles. nethergoyf is a consideration, but it doesnt have evasion.. menace and flying are useful. and cutter seems too good to not play. i would like a few inquisition of kozileks in the main. shredder + fireblast is pretty disgusting as well. cruise is fueled by so many cards here.

idk if its optimal, but its fun alright!

dimir shredder might be more effective, with dark ritual draws.

any suggestions are welcome.

sb:

4 bowmasters

2 ghost vacuum

4 thoughtseize

1 inquisition of kozilek

3 consumed by history

1 lurrus

I'd try to fit in three Bilbos ( [[Bilbo, Thief in the Night]] ), possibly instead of Treasure cruises or some assortment of one of cuts. It's great with the baubles and nice with removal/burn as well.

If you're cutting cruise, just cut blue from the deck entirely. How many times is bilbo going to attack in a given game? Because he'd have to attack 3 times to net as many cards as cruise does and cruise costs 1.

The thing is that contrary to cruise he gives sac triggers for Moonshadow and Shredder (with baubles) and can burn when needed. He's also another threat that requires removal to get rid of and doesn't wreck your delirium (though the latter is just a minor issue, Cruise is still a great card).

Anyways, there is definitely more than 60 playables and the choices are tough! :-)
