XLN Standard Deck Tech: Grixis Aggro


One of the interesting Standard deck builds i have found from the PPTQ results last week was this version of a Grixis Aggro. The deck was piloted by Caio Amaral and he took down the tournament with the metagame of Temur Energy and Ramunap Red decks. How about a build with solid removals, efficient creatures and planeswalker with good counter and discard backup? Check out the decklist below.
