Deck of the Week: Grixis Control

It has been awhile since we had our deck for the week so I decided to bring it back, this time during Fridays. Hopefully, I can sneak a post for it in my sked. For this week, I’ll feature the deck that got 1st place in the Cruise Qualifier in Indianapolis, Indiana last March 29. It is a control deck based on the color of the Grixis shard (Blue-Black-Red) with the almost forgotten Demigod of Revenge as the bad a$$ beater and win condition. Here’s the decklist piloted by Matt Owens.
