I recently started using a lot of control type decks and wanted to make something aside from the regular Esper/Azorius/America control type decks. So I'm building a Grixis deck that focuses on hand hate/control/with plenty of removal.
AEtherling Self-sustaining beater who wins games solo.
Anger of the Gods Super strong removal against small weenie or aggro decks to wipe their board.
Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver Has worked wonders in my Esper control, so thought I'd give him a shot in Grixis too. Although I don't have anything else that focuses on milling, I run Ashiok solely for creature theft. Slows down my opponent and gives me some chump blockers when needed. Great card in control decks.
Counterflux
Great counter spell because it cannot be countered which is great against other control decks.
Cyclonic Rift Bounce high priority targets incase they make it onto the battlefield, also bounce opponents whole battlefield.
Dreadbore Kill spells that also can target Planeswalkers.
Dissolve
Counter spell, that also allows me to scry which can help in controlling draws.
Frostburn Weird
Early game blockers that deters aggro decks pretty well. Can also result in some decent damage if the opponent has an empty battlefield.
Izzet Charm
Works as faithless looting, counter non-creatures, and also works as a Shock
Jace, Architect of Thought Slows down aggro with his +1, also gives me card draw. Allowing me to take what I need at the time. Ultimate doesn't usually get played, but can play an opponents huge card.
Rakdos's Return
Discards and burns, what's not to love. They have no hand and take a bunch of damage. Great finisher as well.
Ral Zarek
Works to tap opponents' permanents or untap my lands for more casting. Also acts as a searing spear. And great ultimate which gives me extra turns.
Slaughter Games
Make opponents lose win cons, such a strong card against control or really any deck for that matter.
Thoughtseize for some more early hand hate and being able to see their opening hand is huge as well.
SIDEBOARD
AEtherling Just an extra incase I do need one. Never hurts to have more great beaters.
Stormbreath Dragon Another huge beater that is pro white. Mostly for white matchups.
Lifebane Zombie Everyone hates playing Selesnya, so hopefully this slows them down a bit.
Pithing Needle Shuts down annoying Planeswalkers, or other decks using Aetherling once mine is sided out.
Ratchet Bomb Blowing up an army of tokens is always fun.
Mizzium Mortars For Blood Baron and possibly for overload to have another mini wipe.
Rakdos Charm For graveyard hate against those whip decks, and also to destroy artifacts like the whip. May the gods damn that whip.
Comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated!
