Baral and Enigma in Grixis

Baral, Chief of Compliance has two extremely useful abilities. This second ability in particular works as a pseudo-Thought Scour with Counterspells which helps fuel the graveyard for Snapcaster targets and to make the new and improved Spellheart Chimera, Enigma Drake, huge.

Mana Leak, Remand, and Negate are all chosen specifically because they synergise with both of Baral, Chief of Compliance's abilities. Kolaghan's Command's are utility on their own and casting them for less is stupid value.

Manamorphose is a must as not only does it replace itself, mana fix, and fuel Enigma Drake: it actually ramps with a Baral, Chief of Compliance on the field.

Fatal Push, Lightning Bolt, and Terminate unfortunately do not synergise but they're efficient enough. Doom Blade could be an alternative but creatures are too prominent for the card to be useful. Go for the Throat however may be viable.

No sorceries are main board, hence no Serum Visions nor hand disruption
