Description

Tinybones Joins Up with Marchesa, Dealer of Death, in the Most Criminal Deck Ever!

image image image

Introduction

This is a Grixis deck concentrating on generating crimes with Tinybones Joins Upimage and turning the crimes to card advantage with Marchesa, Dealer of Deathimage. Since Tinybones Joins Upimage works with legendary creatures, the deck features several powerful legendary creatures, such as Gix, Yawgmoth Praetorimage and Sheoldred, the Apocalypseimage. The deck also has Plaza of Heroesimage to protect the legends.

The deck has been designed to cover several aspects of gameplay as follows:

  • The deck is for the Standard format with Bloomburrow being the last legal set.
  • The deck is probably Tier 1.5 or Tier 2 caliber.
  • The deck can be played in both Bo1 and Bo3.

Source

The deck was originally based on:

However, I have made a lot of changes to the deck and it took a whole new turn to become a legends deck.

Strategy

Plaza of Heroes

image

Plaza of Heroes provides any color mana for any legendary permanents, such as creatures, enchantments, and planeswalkers. Therefore, it can be used to cast — not only any of the legendary creatures in the deck — but also Tinybones Joins Upimage and Liliana of the Veilimage (in the sideboard). And once you've got a legendary permanent in play, Plaza can be tapped for any of its colors. Last but not least, it can be used to protect a legendary creature (but not any other permanent type).

Mana Base

Design

The deck's primary color is black. The mana base supports cards with 2 black mana symbols in their mana cost from mana value 3 and up with at least an 87.7 % chance when played on the curve, as long as they are legendary. Non-legendary black cards with 1 black mana symbol in their mana cost are supported from mana value 1 and up with an 90.1 % chance.

The deck's secondary color is red. The mana base supports cards with 1 red mana symbol in their mana cost from mana value 1 and up with at least an 86.1 % chance when played on the curve (no need them to be legendary).

The deck's tertiary color is blue. The mana base supports cards with 1 blue mana symbol in their mana cost from mana value 2 and up with at least an 87.7 % chance when played on the curve, as long as they are legendary.
