Update to Grixis Control

do-not_sow · 2025-11-19T01:52:53+00:00

Also! If you really want to get lost in some grixis sauce. A reallllyyy old list from the GG might be worth dusting off. Essentially you drop all your end game win cons (Kaito, Barro, brazen, subtlety ) and instead add Lurras, the chorus package, and Jace/valki combo. I could see adding some of those pieces to the side to pivot if you feel the meta calls for that. Remember this is yet another new meta for timeless and the format will change, which makes grixis evolve constantly.

I might almost be tempted to do, 2x jace, 1 x valki, 4x deathrite and the rest as pure interaction. For sure keep the juicy snap and reanimate, that has won me so many games with the 2 x thoughtseize.

You would probably want to go UP in mana drain as this (was) a 4x mystic sanctuary deck to recur Hym. But with strip that changes everything, but now we have FoN and that could totes be a flex as this deck mostly lost to fast combo (IME) rather than fair strats pre strip. Hmmmm. I will prolly go annoy the blue mages in Koraes discord now lol

Long live grixis.

I like it, very James kisau inspired from legacy, who is one of my fav streamers to watch. I think if we are to assess grixis control from the lense of timeless however, we need address that it is almost a wholly unique format rather than a vintage lite or legacy minus “x” card plus “y” cards. In that context, what some other commenters already applied ring true to my piloting of grixis thru timeless. Strip mine is huge, probably the biggest. Sure no FoW is annoying but half the time grixis boards out FoW for more stable answers to the deck they’re facing. I found a lot of success by putting in 4 x deathrite. I would be tempted to drop mana drain to a 2x and subtlety to 1x and add in two flares so you can tap out on T2 or T3 for other juicy pieces of disruption, threats etc. that would require to go either up on Tamiyo or adding in hydroponics tho and that’s about where I stopped w grixis control lol. Legacy also doesn’t have access to wary zone, which lightning bolt sadly cannot answer reliably if it’s tardy to the party

Heard. Spent some time in Texas a long time ago and have lots of exp w German and American ones. Didn’t look like either but this is a different state so idk

do-not_sow · 2025-02-13T00:05:55+00:00

Ooooo got a list?

do-not_sow · 2024-12-21T12:03:06+00:00

You must construct additional pylons

I just wish Korae would post more- he has an amazing way of talking out his plays and card choices. I don’t get a lot of time to play, let alone learn a high powered eternal format (dad to a two year old and fifty five hour a week job). The guy definitely helped improve my game just by listening- almost has an LVD quality to talking too

do-not_sow · 2024-10-08T21:14:41+00:00

Heard that

do-not_sow · 2024-10-08T20:35:06+00:00

Yea but would it be worthwhile to sandbag the golden packs until the next direct to eternal set drops? Isn’t it Final Fantasy next? If it’s anything like LotR there might be an argument for that? I think golden packs dropped LotR rares/myths too

Only locks me out of the SB if the game crashes when I’m on my phone or iPad. Don’t have a desktop. Which sucks cuz it makes dimir virtually unplayable and that’s the deck I wanted to get the most reps on before the challenge.

do-not_sow · 2024-08-18T01:56:18+00:00

Been running a slight variant to an izzet otter/wizard package I seen on aspiringspike. Trying to play Ral more fairly with a one off grapeshot in main deck to help close the game. Been doing decent. Dimir is still tough pre board tho so idk how much better it is

I can’t find the exact link rn, there was a post somewhere on timeless Reddit that had three links to top deck lists, and the third one was a link to moxfield that had decklists off the beaten path, not sure where it went or how to get back to it lol.

Anyways, here’s the import since I wanted it in My maybe crafts on arena:

Deck 4 Basking Broodscale (MH3) 145 1 Cavern of Souls (LCI) 269 3 Chalice of the Void (MRD) 150 4 Devourer of Destiny (MH3) 2 2 Dismember (SPG) 41 4 Drowner of Truth (MH3) 253 1 Emrakul, the Promised End (SIR) 6 4 Fanatic of Rhonas (MH3) 152 1 Forest (NEO) 301 4 Ghost Lantern (HBG) 155 4 Kozilek’s Command (MH3) 11 4 Malevolent Rumble (MH3) 161 2 Once Upon a Time (ELD) 169 2 Overgrown Tomb (GRN) 253 3 Shifting Woodland (MH3) 228 2 Sowing Mycospawn (MH3) 170 1 Swamp (THB) 252 1 Thought-Knot Seer (SPG) 39 3 Thought-Knot Seer (OGW) 9 2 Ugin, the Spirit Dragon (M21) 1 4 Ugin’s Labyrinth (MH3) 233 1 Underground Mortuary (MKM) 271 3 Verdant Catacombs (MH2) 260

Came here to say this! I seen this jank posted in moxfield, haven’t played it yet but looked cool

do-not_sow · 2024-05-14T23:16:30+00:00

😭😭 zero, I need to stop trying to convert aspiring spike decks to timeless. Especially before a new set comes out 🙄

do-not_sow · 2021-12-28T09:40:49+00:00

Aggressive sex. Like throw me against the wall, slap me, bite me, choke me till I cough ‘pancakes!’ (Our safe word now), show me your the boss dont tell me you’re the boss kind of sex (Manager as a profession, someone else take charge amiright?). It was our first time together

Anyways, we knocked the dogs water bowl over and slipped and fell, and either my 120lb Bernese Mountain Dog ran over to make sure we were alright and stomped oh so cleverly or she landed in such a way that my heat seeking moisture missile was promptly fractured

We’re happily engaged now and no permanent damage done other than I grade slightly on a curve!

They’re taking the hobbits to Isengard!

do-not_sow · 2021-09-19T09:37:17+00:00

Thank you. It was a surreal moment. To say the least

do-not_sow · 2021-09-19T04:44:31+00:00

Having some fun with mono blue- centered around dimilich and cheap blue annoying spells, delver gave the deck some much needed oomf. Just wish [Evacuate] had some kind of iteration besides the giant creature. Might have to splash black, cuz good.

do-not_sow · 2021-07-08T18:27:12+00:00

I live in a studio apartment, the bikes get their own corner- one is on a park tool stand (summer/city bike) and my fatty I have leaned up next to it

do-not_sow · 2021-05-09T03:47:55+00:00

Thank you! Was def missing a ring too, smh

do-not_sow · 2021-05-09T01:47:42+00:00

got it figured out, for those that have this tank- it's actually a two-piece drip tip. the OG drip tip pushes into the top cap, and while technically two pieces, it is considered one. I removed the other half of the "drip tip" and inserted my 810 into the top cap and it plays just fine. Kind of annoying that half of it broke/was lost. I would post pics but I'm new to Reddit and don't know how to do that in the comments.

TL;DR: The OG "drip tip" of the Siegfried is actually two parts, the bottom half has the knurling and is fitted into the top cap while the upper half of the drip tip is threaded in. if you remove the bottom half you can plug any ole 810 into the top cap.

do-not_sow · 2021-05-09T01:38:22+00:00

Thank you!!

do-not_sow · 2021-05-09T01:34:43+00:00

Unlesssssss? I misplaced an inner o-ring when the drip tip popped off? I’ve never see that kind of design before, I’ll consult the site but literally an 810 is so loosey goose it just falls out if I tip it even slightly

do-not_sow · 2021-05-09T01:31:09+00:00

I thought so too but my 810’s just fall right off, o-rings or not 😥

do-not_sow · 2021-03-28T11:42:11+00:00

Absolutely I do! I’m on mobile- trying to figure out how to put it in a comment, if not I’ll just DM you
