Loved the video. Might be cool to get a breakdown of solid creature/noncreature spell ranges you like to have in the decks. Maybe even a couple example deck pictures :)
I never thought of drafting Grixis as a mostly burn deck but this video really opened my eyes, specially on the giant, he's big enough to contend with the 4 power creatures. Gotta wait till fridays to save enough gold for the draft on Arena but will definitely try it out like this if I see Grixis colors are open
Sam filling in the gaps with this "secret knowledge" is so welcome! haha, Sam could easily write clickbait titles for his youtube videos, such as "THESE 3 WEIRD SECRETS THAT OTHER STREAMERS ARE MISSING WILL IMPRESS YOU!!" and still actually be accurate, haha
so far, the only consistent pattern among all my trophy decks is one thing : removal at any cost. 5-8 removal spells are a must to even be a contender in this format. and sometimes you still lose to a guy dropping 2 terrors of the peaks in a row. -,-k
I just watched Cheon draft a WB that was really light on bombs. 2 and 3 mana creatures (some good and some filler), and a fair dose of unconditional removal. Shockingly good.

rly cool. would be nice to see some deck examples at the end maybe (?).
How many creatures are you looking to run in this archetype still 15 - 17?
Unscrupulous Contractor has finished off some opponents with the loss of 2 life. I like it.
Timing is excellent, as I just got off a trophy run with a wUrb crimes control deck
Interested to see what your take on the archetype is
this has been a really interesting format so far. feels bomb heavy but bombs aren’t hard to come by
