Strategy

Grixis Affinity in Pauper is an interesting deck that combines artifact synergy with efficient creatures and removal spells. The deck aims to flood the board with artifacts like Myr Enforcer, Frogmite, and Gearseeker Serpent, which can be cast for cheap or for free thanks to cards like Ichor Wellspring and Thoughtcast. One of the key strategies of the deck is to take advantage of the affinity mechanic, which reduces the cost of spells for each artifact you control. This can lead to explosive turns where you can deploy multiple threats or interact with your opponent while still developing your board. Some good points of Grixis Affinity include its ability to quickly deploy threats and apply pressure to the opponent. The deck can also generate card advantage with cards like Ichor Wellspring and Thoughtcast, allowing you to keep up with control decks or grind out value against midrange strategies. However, one weakness of Grixis Affinity is its vulnerability to artifact hate cards like Gorilla Shaman and Nihil Spellbomb. Since the deck relies heavily on artifacts, it can struggle against opponents who can disrupt its game plan by destroying or exiling key pieces. Overall, Grixis Affinity is a powerful and synergistic deck that can overwhelm opponents with its efficient creatures and powerful interactions. It rewards careful resource management and strategic sequencing of spells to maximize its potential on the battlefield.
