<$10 Grixis control

Modern

A grixis deck with a strict budget. I won't pay more than $10 for a single card; this is kind of making deck building hard. Anyways, here is a breakdown:Win cons:Grave Titan: what a beast. If he hits the table, I pretty much win.Cruel Ultimatum: the backup plan. Even though it doesn't necessarily win the game, it is a hell of a setback for our opponent. Counter suite:Mana Leak: the ol' standby. Also cheap as hell.Remand: not a hard counter, but speed bumps the opponent and draws me a card. (side note; mtgfanatic.com sells em for like 6.50 apiece)Spell Pierce not so sure about this one. Good on like turn 1-4, but really starts to suck after that. Same for mana leak I suppose, but leak has a higher imposed cost.Hand disruption:Blightning: just a badass card overall. 3 damage and 2 discards? Yes please.Duress: it's a budget given.Despise: duress 5-7.singleton Thoughtseize: just because I already own one.Removal:Terminate: best choice for this deck, imo.Lightning Bolt: well, duh.Electrolyze: kills a lot of stuff and draws me a card. If not, it's 2 to the face.Drawing:Sleight of Hand: second only to serum visions in modern, and also way less expensive.Electrolyze and remand count here as well.Well, that's it. Thanks for reading, and if you have any suggestions or constructive criticism, let loose. Just please remember my budget constraints. I'm especially looking for a replacement win con for ultimatum. Thanks again
