Control via your opponents hand, board presence, and library removal.

Rakdos's Return to cripple their life total and sever their hand after controlling the board through normal means (counters, bounces, burns).

Jace, Memory Adept blows their library away, throwing out their threats/lands and moving towards one of the win conditions, while Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver can put them to use.

Master of Cruelties and AEtherling can swing through when the board is clear from Mizzium Mortars/Anger of the Gods.

Duress/Dreadbore/Counterflux/Turn / Burn/Far / Away/Dissolve - not much more is needed.

Advantage from Read the Bones and frequent scrying let you stay ahead of their plans.

sideboard:

Izzet Staticaster - hits some pretty relevant cards in the meta right now, especially because Master of Waves's tokens and even janky Izzet hyper-aggro decks with Nivmagus Elemental and Akroan Crusader are present in my meta.

Slaughter Games - Grixis is blessed with an easy sideboard choice against control matchups, or even mid-rangey decks with a clear keystone card that needs to be removed.

Alternative removal suite for more optimal situations, including Dark Betrayal, Ultimate Price, and Doom Blades.

Looking for any and all advice!
