The 2-of really only applies here because I don't want to pull an opening hand of nothing but 5-drop creatures, since all of them cost at least 4 to pull out. And also because many of these cards are expensive, so I can only play with what I gots, y'know?

You for sure need to find room for rakdos return It is to necessary for your deck to not play it. I would personally make it a 3 of but you could get away with only 2. As to what to cut, I would cut a Far / Away and the AEtherling . AEtherling does not provide too much to the deck and you don't need all three Far / Away . Good deck though. +1

I've got one rakdos return in my collection so far - As soon as I get one more I'll probably put them into the deck. AEtherling has done me justice so far (once he's out, he's basically the wincon unless they needle him), but I see what you're saying. Might just sideboard him. I originally wanted to have 2 Far / Away and 2 Turn / Burn , but my numbers were off, so I stuck with 3-of the Far / Away in my first draft and I've just stuck with it ever since. But yeah, good point, though. Might sub the Aetherling and one of them for the R.R. once I get another.
Thanks!

Ultimate Price is a must have in Grixis with all the G/R Monsters decks running around. You're a little creature heavy for Grixis Control for my taste but it still looks like a good start. I also have been playing Grixis and have made Top 8 a few times lately.
Here's my deck.

I personally like the synergy between Swan Song & Drown in Sorrow I honestly never even considered that kind of combo before so +1 for that, also I love grixis decks that run mogis because I feel like thats exactly what grixis control needs.
if you've got time check out my grixis deck Shuttle and Loom, I Weave Your Doom

+1 just for the quote from "The King in Yellow", and after that, examining the deck, it looks like alot of fun and very efficient.

This deck looks like a lot of fun to play. I like all the synergies you've got going on, especially the Erebos/devour flesh combo; I'm probably going to steal that... The only thing that concerns me is the presence of only 2 of many cards. +1 nonetheless.
