GrimLong, first try

[The Exalted]

Grim Tutor > Death Wish

Death Long was a so-so deck : In 2 turns, my life was always between 5 and 10 and this deck wasn't goldfishing better than Meandeck Doomsday or TPS. Grim Tutor, wich replace Death Wish, is a better card slot because I can play Yawgmoth's Will main deck instead of Burning Wish.

edit: I already thought Deathlong was the most underrated deck in the format. I don't understand why you think [know] this is going to be so good if you don't share that opinion with me?

Every body is talking about a great deck with Grim Tutor, so I made a list.

We have six month to build an optimal decklist around Grim Tutor, why not beggin now ?

Its fine to start a list... but I would make the list assuming that grim tutor is going to be restricted... because it is a lock to be...

[The Exalted]

First, let's try to make a great list with Grim Tutor.

Second, IF GrimLong becomes a dominant deck, wich I doubt, Grim Tutor will merit a place in the restricted list.

The Exalted

It will merit restriction because its a tutor... which is even part of its name..

[The Exalted]

What about Intuition, Gifts Ungiven, Rhystic Tutor, Lim-Dûl's Vault, Spoils of the Vault, Diabolic Tutor ?

I see no reason why R&D would restricted Grim Tutor if it is not the heart of a new dominant combo deck like Burning-Tendrils.

Also, why R&D has'nt restricted Grim Tutor and restrited Personnal Tutor and Imperial Tutor ? They absolutely don't forget it !
