This is my current MTG Arena Grixis Deck.

The Curve: The idea is to plan out when we play our tapped lands. On turns 1 & 3 we will ideally play our tapped lands and on turns 2 & 4 will play our untapped lands while having a spell with it.

Some of my Card Choices:

The Card Draw Package:

• (3)Chemister's Insight over Notion Rain: Its the instant speed. You can hold up a Counter, Vraska's, or Insight. Plus Jump-Start is crazy good at instant speed. Burn is a big part of the meta on Arena and the 2 damage Notion Rain does has cost me the game 60% of the time I've cast it.
• (2)Search for Azcanta   This card is great. You dont want more than 2 though
• (1)Arch of Orazca This is for the long grindy games where you want another flipped Search for Azcanta  

The Counter Package:

This will constantly change based on the meta but after playing +60 games I've leaned more towards this configuration. I could see one of these being a [Syncopate] but I've not been a fan. Maybe if a lot of Rekindling Phoenixs pop up. Jump-Start is tricky to play against though. It's better to counter the Jump-Started version of the card.

• (2)Essence Scatter
• (2)Negate
• (3)Sinister Sabotage

The Removal Package:

• (1)The Eldest Reborn Our only removal for Carnage Tyrant and its just insanely good when you have 2 Nicol Bolas, the Ravager  s in the graveyard along with 7 mana. Which isn't hard with all our Surveil and Azcanta triggers.
• (1)Ravenous Chupacabra This one of may look strange but it has its purpose. Chupacabra is my in-between for Vraska's Contempt and Ritual of Soot. Sometimes you want more Contempts and sometimes we want more Soots and Chupacabra can act like ok'ish version of both.
• (4)Moment of Craving This card crushes aggro
• (2)Ritual of Soot Great against tokens and aggro
• (3)Vraska's Contempt Exile, life gain, instant speed. enough said
• (3)Dream Eater A really strong tempo play that can trade and smack face
