Wanted to build a Grixis storm spellslinger deck, using Kess, Dissident Mage to gain extra value from the yard. As with other decks, I tend to switch back and forth between French/Duel Commander and regular Commander, so consider Sol Ring to be swapped in for Rakdos Signet depending on the occasion. The basic idea is to storm off with one of several storm cards, while keeping myself alive with the control and burn spells until I assemble all the pieces.
