The Griefblade concept is currently doing pretty well in modern and is one of my favorites. I wanted to see if the Grief / Ephemerate combo can do as well in Legacy so this is my crack at a Legacy Esper Griefblade.

I want to add a bit more removal to this deck. I have Solitude but that may not be enough, particularly in that it only deals with creatures and I could have many mainboard situations where I need to get and enchantment/artifact etc off the field. I really like Vanishing Verse for this (although it will take some playtesting to make sure multicolored threats aren't too common), but alternatively I'm also considering Anguished Unmaking or Prismatic Ending. My main problem is I don't know what to take out to make room for these. I'd like to run 3 or 4, but I'm not sure where to put them.

Looking for any advice I can get on this deck and how I can make it better. Thanks!

Maybeboard: Kaya, Ghost Assassin Kaya, Orzhov Usurper Prismatic Ending Vanishing Verse Drown in the Loch Feign Death Extirpate (Budget version of Surgical Extraction in the sideboard)
