If you are looking for a deck with recursion using sheoldred grixis is probably not the best colour combo, I would suggest some green for ramp so maybe whitless or jund is what you are looking for

outside of Warstorm Surge and Sheoldred, what are you trying to do with the deck? Is that the theme and you're trying to build around it? The rest of the deck seems to be a control/permission style deck. Is that something you also want to do? Please clarify your idea(s) before we start chopping it up.

Playing countermagic and bombs is generally a bad idea. Your counters lose late game value bc you want to be tapping out to play bombs. Just go with kill spells. Augur Spree, Flesh to Dust, and Shock is what I'd be looking at. Ogre Jailbreaker is really good in these decks if you put in 11ish gates. I'd also cut Warstorm Surge.. there just isn't enough fat to make it great.

Ya pretty much just Warstorm Surge and Sheoldred trying to make a combo thing with that you know like Rescue from the Underworld something like that

you could try some necromancers assistants but without treasure find idk how good they'd be

Babassoonist's suggestion about transitioning over to Jund seems like a good idea. Finding more cards that will fill your grave and recur cards from your grave are a good idea. Ramp will also be a good consideration since the focus of your idea is at the 6 and 7 mana range (and you should include something like Rune-Scarred Demon to tutor the parts of the combo you need). Ramp will also allow you to put in some fatties as an alternate game plan/win condition and will provide some big triggers on warstorm. Looking at cards that increase your draw/filter would be good (not to mention chump/filler cards that are low on the CMC curve to clog up the board and allow you to transition into a late game where you can start your combo). Red can also be considered part of your removal package (instead of going the control route - just burn them out). Here are some cards you might consider:

Satyr Wayfinder
Necromancer's Assistant
Treasured Find
Rescue from the Underworld
Dead Reckoning
Spider Spawning


Masked Admirers
Vengevine

Elvish Visionary
Cultivate
Phyrexian Rager
Viscera Dragger
Graveborn Muse

Shock
Ground Assault
Resounding Thunder
Banefire

With Warstorm, cards like Bloodghast, Fling and Undying Evil have nice synergy. Shadowborn Demon also has nice synergy with Sheoldred (and can combo with a lot of ETB cards - even something like Pelakka Wurm can become a twisted form of card draw/life gain).

Hopefully there's enough suggestions/ideas here to get your brain buzzing and building (and we'll see ya over in the Jund thread ). Just remember though that getting your 'combo' on line is expensive/slow and if it does come on line, games won't last longer than a turn or two (since you'll win right away).

I has good idea?

Yea I decided to go to the Jund route and it works

Goodness gravy no....I said it 'seemed' like a good idea. We can't let you go around thinking that you're contributing now can we?


Great to hear. So lets see what you came up with and hear about how your matches have been going?


elk

Warstorm Surge + Blasting Station + Sprouting Thrinax = 10 damage for 3 mana
All of the above + Sheoldred = 10 damage for free every turn.

I am going to turn this into a pile! In the Jund thread of course.

okay

Oh it's all in good fun. It gets dished out in spoonfuls here so buck up and hand it right back! If it will help cut your teeth, both Barney and Megabeast are easy targets with extremely thick hides so you may want to consider starting there.

Don't listen to a peep out of our resident Grazing Gladeheart. Going Jund was a good call.. he's just jealous he didn't think of it. Have you seen his Bant Exalted deck? Its terrible. Knight of the Skyward Eye, Skymark Roc.. then disses 'The Great' Terra Stomper. Yeah.. I don't need to say anything more.

But I'm an innocent girl how could I make fun of other people

Can I raise a practical question, are you actually a bassoonist

She's actually a teacher of the belching bedpost.

I hate double-r33d instruments like poison. I ended up going french horn thinking it would be easier. If it is easier, it's only barely so.



Hey, can we try to clean up the language a bit please?



basoonist, did you see Whiplash yet? I think you'll like...

yes, I used to play in orchestras but now I teach bassoon

and no barney but I want to see it so bad

It's basically build the same way as my other deck except

4x Elvish Visionary
4x Satyr Wayfinder
4x Cultivate
1x Spider Spawning
1x Phytotian
3x Pelakka Wurm
1x Craterhoof Behemoth
3x Treasure Find

Doing okay I lost 3 matches so far

How does innocence or gender factor in? Pick up your instrument, wack someone with it and we'll all laugh about it.

on a more serious note I've been tinkering with an elder mastery deck
