Opening hand Show

It is very important to propell ourselves into the lategame as soon as possible. Opening hand should contain at the bare minimum: one land, preferably Exotic Orchard , City of Brass or Mana Confluence , one basic land, one tutor land, and one mana rock. Ideally, you need Gem of Becoming to fix all your colors, but any rock would do.

Note: Grixis Panorama is not best opening hand option. It might be fine against fairly slow decks, but without spare mana outside the curve we cannot afford to crack it. Early on we should spend all our mana.

How do we win? Show

• Game plan consists of bringing out Marchesa, the Black Rose and start attacking with creatures - non-stop. If they die, they come back. However, for ultimate move, some cards are required. If tutor is drawn, they are primary targets.
• First of all, we need sac outlet. Really, any would do, however, I recommend Reprocess for card advantage. Sac outlets are our protection from exile effects, and having them on enchantnebt body is more beneficial against cards like Merciless Eviction .
• Secondly, counters. Demonic Tutor 's main target is Mikaeus, the Unhallowed - he puts all our creatures into infinite undeath loop. Secondary target is Unspeakable Symbol - not only it drops our life total below threshhold of Dethrone, it protects newly returned creatures from elimination. If you draw anything placing counters, land it as soon as possible - wheels and discards can be a huge wrench in the (irony) wheels here. Note: Try using both tactics with Wurmcoil Engine . Yeah, things are gonna get nasty really fast.
• Thirdly, our life total. Not only it is a resourse which we can use, it is important to have our life below highest life total on the table to have those sweet Dethrone triggers and additional counters on our creatures. Greed , Necropotence and Arguel's Blood Fast   exist to tap in that pool. Best draw you can have is Bolas's Citadel - can be a game winner.
• Fourthly, planesewlkers. Yes, they are strong, but without protection they won't survive for long. Even with it, chance of ultimating the planeswalker is extremely low. Use them as support characters - but do not aim to ultimate them as soon as possible, it draws too much unwanted attention, and removal.
• Lastly, keep removal and combat tricks ready. Curse of the Swine is not only effective, but also humiliating, and Reins of Power can be a bummer if opponent casts Cyclonic Rift .

Some cards I am considering for addition. Show

• Massacre Girl was in my binder for some time, but I never actually got to play her. Neither that, nor the fact that she can wipe entire board much easier than anticipated: she triggers for every single creature that died, not only once per cycle. So if opponent has multiple 1/1s, she will trigger for death of each of them, potentially being able to bring down an eldrazi titan.
• Font of Agonies can potentially be a machinegun nest - with amount of life we are paying all the time.
• Bedevil to replace Terminate , it is move versatile and is strictrly better.

Be wary! Show

This deck has almost no artifact or enchantment removal, so some of them might be an issue down the road. I will look deeper into it, but can tell you already - I am not putting counterspells into my deck.

• Puppeteer Clique tbr with Helium Squirter
• Duplicant tbr with Novijen Sages
