This a protoype I'm working on, depending on how you look at it, you could describe it as control/tempo. Here are some pointsI'd like to make out with the Primer

Standard removal and reach package, Kolaghan's Command is a work horse and works well with snapcaster.Bolts and Electro's are staplesSingles of Terminate and Slaughter Pact help with emergency situations, at worst Terminate is 4 damage with Chandra ablaze]] who also works well with Anger of the Gods

The singular Chandra Ablaze.No one likes her, I don't know why, she's a card that in conjuction with notion thief gives me insane card value while destroying whatever is left in my opponents hand. She also acts as a good finisher, ditching my red cards that aren't needed late game into 4 damage chunks, building into a storm like death.

COUNTERS: For counters, i'm working on Remands for their helpfullness at stalling and cantripping. Mana leaks for a cheap round about way to deal with things, and a single Counterflux it's nice having this mainboard as it helps with twin, storm, and control. goes well with Chandra as well. Still testing it over my cryptic command though.

I don't have alot of hand disruption cuz I hate top decking it mid-late game. But having them in the opening hand is always nice, so a small 2-1 split of Inky and TS

CREATURES: So I'm still playing around with Ideas, but for now I'm running the 3 Notion Thiefs. 3/1 body for 4cmc flash is fragile but it surprisingly dodges a decent amount of removal used in modern aside from burn and path. He turn's Burning Inquiry into complete hand destruction. It's almost like 1/3 of a Cruel Ultimatum except at a huge discount. Turns Chandra into the same but repeatable. and the lone Time Reversal becomes a reset the game, I have 14 cards for a turn. That being said I am unsure if I want to keep TR in or add a 4th Burning Inquiry

Snapcaster Mage- Reads books and makes tea.

Tasigur has proved to be a real powerhouse in this deck, as before I used the Dragon Duo of Stormbreath and Thundermaw. he's often a 1-2 drop 4/5 who nets me a card every now and again and allows me to keep mana up to react if need be.

And 1 batterskull because grixis needs life gain and this is the best "unkillable" threat I can use.

Sideboard is largely Meta based but this is what I'm using to get by most things and I can't complain of it to much atm.

Any tips, suggestions, thoughts, or questions all welcomed!!! I hope you enjoy the list. I'll be bringing more updates soon.

Modern Night testing — May 13, 2015
Edit

Just updated alot of the deck and reformatted it and decided to go on a test run.

There weren't enough people for a tourney at the card shop but I got I got to test against 2 decks, this is how it went.

Match 1-- Grixis Counter Burn? The guy had alot of bolts,counters, Electrolyze, and topped off with Stormbreath Dragons and tasigurs, didnt see any hand disruption though, but he did have black and creeping tar pits.

Round 1- This was a counter burn war that ended in me getting a Notion Thief into play followed by Burning Inquiry to make him discard his hand and net me +3. After that I stayed on top in card advantage and played threats while he top decked the rest of the game. Game went to me 1-0

Round 2 More interesting match, He plays a blood moon early But I manage an island out to keep us at a balanced counter burn match. He eventually gets a stormbreath out while I mana leak him to keep him tapped out and take 4. I turn back by playing [[chandra ablaze] to turn my anger of the gods into a 4 damage bolt on the dragon. Next turn I refresh my hand and downsize his and play tasigur and snap-Remand his cryptic and it becomes my game very fast. 2-0

Match 2--- Junk Melira Artist (not sure of actual name)

So this deck was Junk and from what I gatehred used Blood Artist Melira, Sylvok Outcast Kitchen Finks Collected Companyfoil Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit to basically info combo me, but could also run as aggro-midrange

Round 1x I was able to off balance him with bolts and remands, he managed a voice of resurgance early on but was dealt with Anger of the Gods. Melira dropped with a Finks and I knew I had to keep his creatures off the field. In the end I was able to keep him in Top Deck while my Tasigur provided cards. Game win 1-0

Round 2 was alot like round one, Except I had counters and spot removal instead of Anger and hand disruption, The game stalled out until I was able to get Notion Thief into play followed by Time Reversal which net me 14 cards to sculpt a hand with. Game didn't last long after that. 2-0

That's all I have for now, will post future matches and see how this deck goes
