This has been the Grixis control deck I have been tuning all summer. I designed it to survive rotation and have been braving and suffering against the powerful innistrad cards in the process. There is a more in depth description at

Streamlining — Oct. 11, 2013

Edit

-2 Syncopate -2 Steam Augury -3 Gray Merchant of Asphodel +1 Dissolve +1 Ral Zarek +2 Read the Bones +1 Quicken +2 Doom Blade

Stream lined to be more removal heavy. I tried the Merchants as a life gain, anti aggro move. It was slow at 5 mana and kind of clunky. Reading some bones is not so bad, I don't have as many shock lands to hit me and I can side these out against fast aggro decks. I feel Quicken is underrated, even if you are just using it to cycle. The ability to dig early on to get closer to land and answers is easily worth a mana and the sorcery that may come after is just that much more special. Ral was a finance decision, I wanted another utility walker and Jace is a bit high, I should've bought more when he was at $9. This also allows me to play Ral more aggressively as a removal spell.
