Grixis Colossus vs W/U Monument

Standard Deck Help forum

Posted on July 20, 2017, 10:49 a.m. by Cragon18

Hello fellow deck builders. I have been playing a Colossus deck this standard season with a few HOU additions. It has performed really well overall and is super fun to play. Lots of fun decisions throughout a game and a wins a good bit so that is always fun too.

That said, the bane of this deck has been W/U monument. While Abrade helps a lot, the deck is fast, can go wide and has so many ways to stop sweepers. In my build I opted for Radiant Flames over Sweltering Suns because the double red was scary in a grixis build, but Radiant Flames is TERRIBLE against Spell Queller. My question is would it be better to risk the double red of Sweltering Suns or just go big with Hour of Devastation since Spell Queller can't hit it? Thanks in advance and feel free to offer other suggestions. There is always room for improvement! Happy Brewing!

Here is the deck:Colossus of Devastation

Depends on how fast you're losing to the deck. If you need a t3 sweeper, you need a t3 sweeper! I'd guess, if you put in just 1 more Mountain, between Renegade Map and Prophetic Prism RR won't be a problem.
