Happy Tuesday all. I do hope you guys aren’t hyped with the online sale of the Magic 30th booster packs that is the current trending topic in the Magic: the Gathering interwebs. Those expensive proxy cards aren’t worth the product support. Anywho, I am sharing today an updated decklist of an existing Standard deck archetype that is expected to get an update with The Brother’s War set. Well, let us say it is stable already enough but then there is a new card component that might fit in and perform better in specific matchups.

The deck is Grixis Midrange and the list was referred from the Magic: the Gathering tournament named “Astarters @ CoolSpot Events” and was piloted by Gonzalo Emilio Alvarez Slowik. Here below is his full decklist, main deck, and sideboard. Notice the only new creature card on the mainboard.

I 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:
