Grixis control is delicate but evil

The grixis control deck has seen many iterations and has evolved many times. some varients known as cruel control relied on making to turn 7 and casting the said card cruel ultimatuim which was almost back breaking when it would go off.the deck lost popularity due to the slow pace it moved at and how unreliable it was to have seven mana and it being triple black and double blue and double red.

Grixis then transformed into a grixis moon deck. this version of grixis relied on vendalken shackles to take control of the opposing players bombs and then beat them down with the creature. to lock the opposing deck this deck heavily relied on Blood Moon to make all nonbasics purely mountains thus reliably shutting their mana sources off.

grixis again then transformed into what is now grixis twin or what i like to call kholaghans grixis. twin would splash the black to gain acess to Terminate and Tasigur, the Golden Fang

Kholaghans grixis relies on greatly out valueing the opposing player. with a great number of 2v1 spells the deck will pull ahead of the opponent and acrew a board that will dominate the feild. this deck is backed up win conditions such as Keranos, God of the Storms as an inevitable win condition and uses kholaghan's command and other such spells Cryptic Command to pull ahead and awnser more threats than most decks can. this type of deck can be long and grindy but is designed to do so with so few creatures being in the list.
