XLN Standard Decks: Grixis Midrange


I still continue to find interesting deck builds in Magic: the Gathering Grand Prix tournaments around the world. Another sighting is this midrange build of the Grixis colors (Black/Red/Blue) from GP Atlanta. The deck, played by Sergio Ferry, almost made it in the Top 8 with just a few decimal points short of the cut off. Anyhow, here is the decklist:
