Fairly Standard Grixis control with some personal techs added. The Locust God is underrated in my opinion, since he can make so many annoying flyers over the course of a game and is a nice mana sink. The Scarab God and Torrential Gearhulk are the MVPs, though, draining my opponent's life while essentially giving me 8 copies of Gearhulk. Opt, Glimmer of Genius and Search for Azcanta   help dig through the deck, while cards like Perilous Voyage Fatal Push offer cheap yet effective creature removal early game. Late game, board wipes like Hour of Devastation and Bontu's Last Reckoning take care of established fields with ease. Finally, our big boss, Nicol Bolas, God-Pharoah strikes fear into all who oppose you with 4 absolutely devastating abilities that cripple your opponent and essentially puts them on a timer.

GLORY BE TO THE GOD-PHAROAH!
