Grixis Control for Pioneer, mainly trying to trade one for one and disrupt through discard spells until your late game finishers can take over.

Most important cards:

Jace, Vyrn’s Prodigy - Card filtering, and a walker that can slow aggro decks and rebuy a spell from our graveyard.

The Royal Scions - Provides card filtering, a way to force through damage, and a game ending ultimate.

Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Card advantage, removal, mana ramp, and an incredibly powerful emblem. What could be better?

Nicol Bolas, Dragon-God - Possibly one of the scariest finishers for a Control deck, he provides card advantage in drawing and exiling a permanent, deletes problematic permanents, and, eventually, deletes your opponent.

Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet - Hates on aristocrats, and is life gain. Pairs well with The Royal Scions

Thoughtseize - Incredible disruption at basically any stage of the game. Literally the reason this deck exists.

Deck still needs a little tuning, particularly in making sure our curve is more powerful, so any help would be appreciated
