As if I had any money left to buy the cards in this deck I don't have, yet dreaming is free. I am impressed by how many nice cards Rakdos (black/red) has in Return to Ravnica and, depending on my pulls, I may trim this Grixis deck of its blue and expand on red and black.

I like using 4 Jace's Phantasm because of how much it helps to have four 1/1s turn into four 5/5s, but if I am having problems drawing enough Mind Sculpts, I sometimes have to make a desperation move and play Jace's Phantasm at 1/1.
