First attempt at a Grenzo Deck. Focusing on several themes

We've got a few combos that can wipe out your opponents. There is the standard Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and Zealous Conscripts. But we also have potential with using Grenzo, Dungeon Warden's ability with Priest of Gix or Priest of Urabrask to generate infinite R or B mana, and then pumping out your entire deck with Grenzo. Another bit of mischief you can pull is with Filth and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth to turn everything into a Swamp and then giving all of your creatures swampwalk
Grenzo puts a lot of creatures in your graveyard and sometimes you aren't able to get them back with Grenzo. That is why we make sure we are able to pull those creatures out again and again.
You never know what those pesky Blue players are going to try and pull. These cards give you some outs.
One of the main themes of this deck is discard. You want your opponents dumping as many cards as you can force out of their hands.
In addition to the discomfort of having to discard all those cards, we want to cause even more pain with those discards. Waste Not, Liliana's Caress, Megrim and others will continue to apply the pain.
Sure, Grenzo gets us creatures for free. But we always want more!
As long as we are pulling all of these creatures out, we better make sure we're putting the hurt on our opponents. Not just by swinging with them, but by keeping them coming.
