Over the last few weeks, there has been a lot of discussion in the Grixis community about whether to include Death’s Shadow in your deck. While many of you can probably guess where I stand on this, I’m here today to present some facts about these two decks and when it’s best to play one over the other. First things …

Last weekend, Star City Games held the first major in-person Magic tournament since the start of the pandemic. Corey Baumeister took home the trophy, and his weapon of choice for the Modern portion was Grixis Death’s Shadow.
