Tournament 1.10 of Penny Paradise went super smooth as usual and some really cool decks were played. "Red Deck Wins" did what it's title suggests and won again. Mathguy31415 really has a good understanding of the deck and has proven it with high finishes throughout the season, and nailing down first place this week.
A fun deck that has also been preforming well is alawrence's "Grenzo" deck. This deck is basically a "Mardu Good Stuff" deck with [[card_link: Grenzo, Dungeon Warden]] added in for value maximization. Let's take a look at the deck.
[[deck: 22779]]
As you can see something is missing. Yes [[card_link: Grenzo, Dungeon Warden]] is not showing up in the system, but rest assured there is 4 of him in this deck. Grenzo isn't the only way this deck wins though. [[card_link: Vampire Nighthawk]], [[card_link: Seeker of the Way]] and [[card_link: Kambal Consul of Allocation]] give this deck much needed life gain against fast aggro decks or burn decks. All of the creatures in this deck have good value, [[card_link: Tidehollow Sculler]] and [[card_link: Sin collector]] go straight after the opponents hand while [[card_link: Flamtounge Kavu]] and [[card_link: Murderous Redcap]] can clean up any creature that has resolved. [[card_link: Beetleback Chief]] is a great value creature as well, but it's also kind of [[card_link: Parallax Wave]] resistant because no one wants it triggering again.

The spells in this deck are all mainly removal for creatures except for [[card_link: Searing Spear]] which can also go to the face if no creatures are present to target. [[card_link: Utter end]] is a good way to get rid of a snowballing [[card_link: Shrine of Burning Rage]] or any card that is giving you trouble. [[card_link: Mizzium Mortars]] can be used as a board wipe and [[card_link: Torrent of Souls]] can be great to get back a Grenzo or any other creature, but also can be used as a finisher with the power buff it gives your creatures.

Well all in all this deck is not only really fun to play, but it's also a really good deck. I do wonder if a few [[card_link: Demonic Consultation]] would make the deck better or not but I definitely think it's worth testing.
Thank you all for reading, I always appreciate it and hope to see you all next week!
