This is a standard Grixis control deck I am in the process of building. Do not have all the cards/have not played with it yet.

I am very open to suggestions. I have plenty of removal in the form of Dreadbore Ultimate Price and Mizzium Mortars. I only have 4 Dissolves though which is the only thing in my deck which can counter creature spells. I am not sure if that will be enough. I can always take out two Ultimate Price for 2 Syncopate if needed.

As for card advantage, I am not sure where to get this without Sphinx's Revelation. Obviously Jace, Architect of Thought is amazing for card advantage but I know Esper decks run Jace AND Sphinx's. Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver is going to be a big player, he can get rid of threats on the top of my opponents library and possibly even let me use my opponents deck against them. I can possibly even grab some chump blockers to protect myself until my win conditions come out which are mainly:

Master of Cruelties. Simple, control the board then cast a simple Burn and win the game.

AEtherling should need no explanation as to why he is awesome.

One thing I am worried about is board wiping. Alls I have for a board wipe in these colors is Mizzium Mortars. Enchantment removal also worries me, but I think that's something I will have to deal with playing in these colors.

Feedback and suggestions greatly appreciated.
