Grixis Control

Modern Grixis Control build for competitive play

Threats

Collective Brutality, cheap cantrips and quick counterspells help fuel Delve, bringing Tasigur and Gurmag out quicker. Young Pyromancer helps fill the board while I do so, protecting myself before hitting with big threats. Sideboard Batterskull for fun and some decent lifegain.

Controlling The Board

A fair bit of removal in Terminate, Murderous Cut, Lightning Bolt and Fatal Push clear the board. Anger of the Gods in sideboard for quick boardwipe and Vapor Snag for chip damage and bounce potential for Mana Leak, Cryptic Command and Dispel stop early threats, Logic Knot for making sure certain threats are dealt with for certain.

This and That

Thoughtseize and Inquisition of Kozilek stop threats before hitting the board. Liliana, The Last Hope is good incase I need to bring a Snapcaster that was taken out back to my hand.
