This is my fun-non-competative grixis deck, piloted by one of my favorite dragons ever - Crosis, the Purger, but also sometimes Tetsuo Umezawa for laughs). The problem with crosis is that in 1v1 rounds where an opponent is playing 1 or two colors, it isn't really fun for them to face against a repeated Persecute. Tetsuo comes out in games that I know will last long, or if I specifically want to have a longer more enjoyable experience.

The deck operates with mass basics so it can run Back to Basics, Blood Moon and Ruination.

The primary goal of this deck is to make a large number of land-falls while controlling/bouncing/destroying whatever possible, wheeling a bunch, and eventually using Mnemonic Betrayal as a win-con. The problem is that the deck tends to exhaust the opponents over time and games end with gear-hulk-beat-downs before I've established enough mana to enjoy Mnemonic Betrayal.
