An attempted standard impression of modern Grixis Control lists. Notes:

1. Feeling the crunch between Complete Disregard, Fiery Impulse, and Ruinous Path for the early removal slots. I'm not real sure how to make room for all of them, I may have too many sweepers. Goggles is a pet card and I definitely refuse to remove the Goggles/Claws package, it's won me too many games out of nowhere. They all have their uses; Complete Disregard lines up beautifully against Mantis Rider and Hangarback, while Impulse works better against red aggro and screams value with a pair of Goggles out. Ruinous Path seems a must have with Gideon in the format, and lategame can be kicked(probably out of the 'yard with Jace) for a 4/4. I've settled on a mix with extra copies of Impulse in the sideboard.
2. A Prairie Stream in the sideboard allows white tech in games 2 and 3(fetchable by both delta and strand), notably Crackling Doom if they're playing Dragonlord Ojutai or are a green deck that is likely going to side in Gaia's Revenge. Any suggestions for other white sideboarded silver bullets are welcome. Utter end is also an option against a walker or enchantment heavy deck.
3. Tasigur vs Gurmag Angler is also something else I'll need to determine through testing. They both live through Languish but Tasigur is better in the long game with his ability (works well with a flipped Jace, as it gives me access to all the cards no matter what) while Angler kills a rhino on the block(Assuming they haven't been Infinitely Obliterated yet. What're you gonna Bring to Light now?). Angler also lives through a bigger Ugin sweep than the Fang
4. Sideboard is pure theory, and will be adapted to my local meta once we actually have a constructed FNM with BfZ cards. The meta itself is generally rather aggressive, hence the sweepers(a shame Radiant Flames and Goggles interact how they do, or else they'd be mainboard...) and lack of Duress/Disdainful stroke.
