Alright, this is it! THIS is the Grixis Control deck I would ultimately like to build (if budget wasn't an issue). It's a bit vanilla, but I like to think I came to the conclusions of my card choices through my own research, feedback from people on this site and feedback from the guys at my local FNM.
Here's a quick run-down:
Creatures:
Snapcaster Mage, No explanation needed.
Tasigur, the Golden Fang is essentially a 4/5 creature for just most of the time. Plus his second ability gets my spells back.
Gurmag Angler is ya know, just a 5/5 for , no biggie.
Keranos, God of Storms is just a great card. Either draws me a card or gives me a free Lightning Bolt every turn. I'm currently testing him out as a 1-of instead of the third angler.
Instants & sorceries:
Mostly your basic set of counterspells and removal.
Thought Scour to fuel Tasigur and the Angler.
1-of Dispel since all modern decks play instants
1-of Electrolyze
The rest is pretty straightforward.
Lands:
Desolate Lighthouse is for late game cycling.
Creeping Tar Pit, an unblockabe 3/2 may be just what you need to finish a game.
Sideboard:
Anger of the Gods in case I need more board wipe and exiling is good too.
Ceremonious Rejection vs artifacts and eldrazi.
Dispel, an extra one of these can't hurt against control or burn.
Engineered Explosives vs enchantments (Blood Moon) and can be cast for against token decks.
Fulminator Mage is great against tron and the fact that his ability can be activated at instant speed also makes him great against the Bloom Titan combo.
Rakdos Charm for graveyard hate, and extra artifact removal.
Spellskite is always good to have as backup against burn and bogles.
Terminate for more removal if needed.
I'm pretty happy with this list, but as always, feedback and suggestions are welcome!! Thanks for viewing!!
