A Grixis Control list that doesn't just durdle until your opponents kill each other, and isn't just a mono blue deck in disguise. This list is designed to to be efficient enough to combat Combo and Competitive decks while not relying on combos to win, making it much more fun to play in a casual environment. This deck plays great defense, but it is an offensive deck. Most opponents don't realize that and underestimate you. You can switch to a quick offensive within a turn and can catch most players off guard

This is not a 'storm deck'. It is more of a ramp deck honestly. All your rituals and cantrips can be cast twice with Kess, and you can typically cast 1 cantrip a turn from turn one with Kess . This allows you to construct your hand and find answers to your opponents threats, and makes it easier to find a win con without a tutor. As early as turn 3, 4 or 5 you can dump Shark Typhoon, Thraximundar, or Swarm Intelligence and that will typically win you the game if not met with removal.

Cantrips also allow us to maintain a fair hand size despite the amount of spells we will be casting, which is extremely important. This means more Free/Efficient spells will be added to the list as I come across them.

• Slight treasure synergy added with Brass's Bounty, Goldspan Dragon, Spell Swindle, Dockside Extortionist, Prismari Command
• Increased focus on instant speed spells, with large payoff spells remaining at sorcery speed
• Disrupt Decorum, Torment of Hailfire, Exsanguinate, Ominous Seas, Shark Typhoon, and Swarm Intelligence are solid win cons
• Gitaxian Probe becomes 'Pay 4 life, Draw two cards' and is one of the best cards in the deck. You can also cast it if you tapped out and have yet to cast a spell from your graveyard.
• Invade the City has been replaced with Ominous Seas, Callous Dismissal was too slow at sorcery speed
