FNM 2-0-1 & Updated Description —April 30, 2017
Game One was against Mardu Vehicles, not many people have had time to update for the new set irl. They got me game one but By Force and a judicious amount of kill spells made games 2 and 3 a breeze.
Game Two was against Bant Goodstuff. They called it Bant Walkers, but when all your planeswalkers rely on having creatures out, it isn't a planeswalker deck. He'd stay ahead for most of the game and then Chandra, Flamecaller would turn it around both games giving me a 2-0 victory
Game Three was against U/R Control. We ended up going 1 and 1 and tying due to time. He got the first game by the skin of his teeth and took most of the time, game 2 I pulled off a Dispossess and he scooped almost immediately. Game 3 I tried to do that again but he had the Disallow this time and we ran out of time.
Description has been updated to include why the bad cards are bad and I made it prettier :D
I have yet to see a Lost Legacy this season so I'm beginning to wonder if I need to include Faith of the Devoted and if I should replace it with Lay Bare the Heart
Woo! I think this has been the most popular deck I've created. I've gotten #1 a couple times before, but never with this many people XD

I'd flip the curator for good old Torrential Gearhulk as that can really close out a game or dig for answers.

Hey, great deck!
I've just came back from my 1st AMK draft, and I was lucky enought to pick Archfiend, Curator AND Drake Haven. Looking for some hints to translate this into STD, and in Grixis color, I find this, that is really similar to what I'd like to do.
Do you think I could get away with just 1 Collective Brutality and 2 Collective Defiance? (Mainly for budget reasons...)

I think that's meta dependent... If you're facing a lot of midrangey/control decks then Collective Defiance is better. If you're facing a lot of aggro then trying to get a couple Fatal Pushes would be better imo. I chose Collective Brutality because its the best of both worlds but those are the two cards I would use in its place.

I think cutting for 1 man land wouldn't slow down the deck too much. It would also give u a potential way to end out the game.

Looks cool, +1
Would you mind putting in your description reasons why you won't include the cards you listed? Just for purposes of brewing...

I'll just say, looking at your land base you can afford making it slower again, cuting some basics lands for cycle lands and, why not putting a Wandering Fumarole in, replacing one of your Spirebluff Canal?
