New primer should be going up by next week, possibly this weekend.
If there is anything in there that I failed to mention or should be explained in more detail just let me know. Criticism is a healthy part of learning.

If anybody wants to make a "Cruel" banner please PM me. I've got the process started for taking over the primer.

Also go balls to the wall aggressive against them, throw fire at their face and counter their walkers.
I've got a week off next week, and I would be open to getting our primer updated if that's what people would like to see.

Here is my current list. I've been wrecking people with this, kept losing to infect so I added Forked Bolt and Izzet Staticaster. List is solid, but "Lil_Bolas why are you running a 61 card deck"? Because I'm an indecisive mother****er, that is why!

Countersquall is great, but having access to U, B and R on turn two could be a challenge. You really want to go bolt/visions ,terminate/counter on the first few turns. Negate is just fine for these purposes.

We should be pretty well positioned after April 4th. I combined the Grixis midrange lists with cruel lists and I've done well.
On another note I'm one RPTQ Snapcaster and a judge foil Island away from the deck being all foil.

This guy goes in every event with the same list. I'm more surprised by the lack of Pyroclasm/Anger of the Gods in this meta. Seems suboptimal

Devastation Tide is there for all the pillow fort and prison decks. I've considered Cyclonic Rift and will try it when foils arrive.
Mogis comes in vs other control decks and midrange.
I burn people out and beat them to death with lands.

Pyroclasm was really good tonight; Ashiok rocked as well. I'm missing foil damnation and snaps so that is why the decklist is odd. Counterflux will get cut.

Good work Xremag! You should Rune Snag if you want 4 of that effect in the 60. I would consider Anger of the Gods.
More thoughts to come.

To defeat tron you need more Cryptic Command and Negate, hard counters. Also I played Silumgar's Command,Dreadbore and Hero's Downfall in a heavy tron meta.
Also go balls to the wall aggressive against them, throw fire at their face and counter their walkers.
I've got a week off next week, and I would be open to getting our primer updated if that's what people would like to see.
