"So many choices. Shall I choose loathing, hate, or malice today?" Eliza of the Keep

A standard Grixis Control deck that I have been working on. This deck has the ability to answer many diverse threats in the current meta with a powerful set of removal, counters, walkers, and efficient creatures making the deck one to be reckoned with. I am open to any input or constructive criticism you may have, I am also willing to answer any questions on the decisions I have made with this deck.

Control Package

Dissolve: Standard counter spell with the ability to fix your next draw. A very solid card and a must have in any form of standard control deck.

Psychic Strike: Another counter spell. The added mill is fantastic, especially with all the scry in the format. The 1ub mana cost can lead to a surprise counter if you tap your mana right.

Dreadbore: Unconditional removal that can also destroy planeswalkers!

Mizzium Mortars: Hits threats like Loxodon Smiter and a great answer to Blood Baron of Vizkopa. Also has the potential to wipe the board late game.

Ultimate Price: Standard instant speed removal. Great against devotion decks.

Doom Blade: Hits almost every threat that Ultimate Price misses. The 2-2 split is great.

Anger of the Gods: Absolutely wrecks aggro decks. And fucks Voice of Resurgence, strung together Burning-Tree Emissarys and Chandra's Phoenix.

Pilfered Plans: One of my favorite cards in the deck! Generates card advantage and smooths out my draws while destroying my opponents deck. Play after a opponent keeps on a scry for the best results.

Opportunity: Grixis does not have access to Sphinx's Revelation and this is the closest thing that we got. This card is great.

Rakdos's Return: This card can steal games. One of my favorite cards in standard.

Planeswalkers

Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver: Relevant in every mach up. Can nab threats/blockers from aggro or mid-range decks and must be answered in the control match up before he/she gets to ult. Has great synergy with Jace, Memory Adept as a secondary win con.

Jace, Architect of Thought: I've heard that drawing cards is good. Stringing together Jaces is one of the most satisfying things that I have ever done in Magic.

Jace, Memory Adept: Every strong win con/card draw engine.

Creatures

Frostburn Weird: A two drop wall that can also become a beat stick when needed. Survives the anger of the gods and continues to bring the beats. So much versatility in a nice little 2 drop package.

AEtherling: The go to win con for any control deck.

Side Board

Anger of the Gods: For those aggro decks. When I really need a turn 3 or 4 board wipe in order to win.

Gainsay: For the control match up or that mono blue devotion.

Hero's Downfall: For mid-rage decks or to swap with either Doom Blade or Ultimate Price depending on the match up.

Negate: For control or walkers.

Nightveil Specter: Cause it destroys esper, mono blue, and mono black all on a nice 2/3 flyer. Can also be pulled in against aggro if I need another body to block.

Thoughtseize: For mid-range or control.

Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver: Bring in with anything that uses a lot of good creatures.
