My almost-competitive cruel grixis control deck:

Cruel Ultimatum is the main reason to play cruel control, but the core cards of this deck are:

• Cryptic Command as the most powerfull and flexible card;

• Snapcaster Mage can duplicate Cruel Ultimatum and other thinks

• Lightning Bolt is just good

the rest of this cards are about control / card advantage / lifegain / exit to had situations like hexproof or avoid from infect turn 2 kill

In sideboard some very useful cards against:

• controls // combos-> Counterflux + Slaughter Games + Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker

• aggro -> Anger of the Gods + Consuming Vapors + Pyroclasm + Engineered Explosives

• living end // affinity // twin (respectively)-> Rakdos Charm

• tron -> Sowing Salt + Slaughter Games
