This deck's motto: "Don't play bad cards"

Grizzards is a grixis, tribal, wizards deck that operates differently than most tribal decks. Rather than building up a critical mass of a specific creature type like elves, merfolk, or goblins, Grizzards plays only 15 actual creatures. The downside to all those creatures being wizards is minimal because most of them are very good cards anyway. The upside is that we get to run actual Counterspell in Wizard's Retort and an additional 4 Lightning Bolts in Wizard's Lightning. We also run 2 copies of Claim // Fame to retrieve those wizards from the yard after they die or are milled over by Thought Scour.
