Grixis is one of five shards of Alara. It is primarily black-aligned, with blue and red as secondary colors. Grixis features a vast wasteland dominated by demons, horrors, necromancers and other forms of undead, leaving the few alive, and sometimes mutated, inhabitants (humans, ogres, and kathari, among others) running for their lives on a daily basis. Due to the predominance of undeath, it is possible to find unliving versions of Bant's leotaus and Jund's viashinos in Grixis.
