"There is no greater folly than standing against me"
Nicol Bolas
Counter, Control, and Crush your foes at your whim
Grixis Cruel control deck focused on denying board presence and card advantage
Augur of Bolas and Nightveil Specter provide bodies and card advantage
Countersquall, Logic Knot, Soul Manipulation are your counters
Vapor Snag, Consign / Oblivion, Far / Away all bounce
Duress, Blightning, Consign / Oblivion for Hand Hate
Anger of the Gods and Torment of Hailfire for board wipes
Nicol Bolas, God-Pharaoh, Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker, and Nicol Bolas, The Deciever are all win conditions, only one of each for balance and fun diversity for the casual decks.
Cruel Ultimatum acts as set up for gg, rest of the deck is geared around stalling until you can play it and a Bolas, or winning with Nightveil Specter, which you have multiple ways back from the grave.
Check out my Casual Meta Decks!
Just a Note, I make the majority of my decks with casual play in mind within my own playgroup. These decks are intended to be balanced within my own meta and fairly budget conscious, which may be why some obvious cards are excluded
