My newest deck, though I am no stranger to Grixis. I am trying to pull different threads here, playing up thematic Bolas cards and using "Will" effects combined with cost reducers and rituals to have big turns. I initially had storm cards Haze of Rage and Ignite Memories included. I'm looking to make Bolas more relevant as my Commander, because as it stands, I don't cast him much, and Kess fits the current list much more nicely. Thoughts? Comments?
