Alright, so this is an teempt at a Grixis Control that's trying to use the Mindrazer to help me out (enhancing my card draw). I'm also trying to abuse that card draw to apply damage to my enemies. I'm really trying to make it work for both sides, doing damage both when I draw (Niv-Mizzet, whatever nasties I draw) and when my enemies draw (Nekusar, Spiteful Visions, Underworld Dreams).

My main issues with what I've got going on here is that Nekusar tends to give enemies the answer to him, but I'm trying to get enough control to make it a nonissue. This is my first EDH deck so I'm fairly certain I'm going a little overboard on a lot of things. I'm just looking for some help getting this from working to good.

Got new cards — Nov. 26, 2013

Edit

Okay, my LGS got a few of the things in that I've been looking for so now I've updated things somewhat.

First up, the Caged Sun is nice, but in 3 colours it doesn't do quite enough. It's nice when my enemies drop a Blood Moon and I need to double my few basic Islands/Swamps, but otherwise it's just a "win more" when I've got X costing cards, or it's not helping at all. In place of this I'm putting in the Darksteel Plate.

I managed to finally find a bloody Consecrated Sphinx so I put that in in place of my Echo Mage. Echo Mage is nice, but he's hardly enhancing anything I'm already doing.

Magosi, the Waterveil is a cute little card, but 9 times out of 10 it's an Island that enters tapped, so I decided to remove it. In place I'm putting in a Terramorphic Expanse. Not a big change, just noting it.

Last change involves changing the Opportunity for a Kederekt Parasite. Opportunity rarely does much good for me, only giving one more card for the mana than a Blue Sun's Zenith, but it doesn't scale nearly as well and it goes to graveyard, and I lack much recursion at all.

No huge changes. I still don't know what I intend to take out when I finally manage to find a Forced Fruition, but I'm still hunting one. I'm also still considering forking out for a Demonic Tutor and Damnation, but that's a bit pricy, and won't hugely enhance the deck (well, Damnation might.)
