---

Thraximundar control EDH. I decided to put a mix of different controls in this one. I do not like infinite combos.

Card Choices:

Creatures:

Blood Tyrant - Draining the life slowly and gaining power. Effective beater late game.

Bloodgift Demon, Consecrated Sphinx, Mercurial Chemister, Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur, Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind, Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius - card draw

Arcanis the Omnipotent - draws me tons of card advantage and can save himself.

Olivia Voldaren - control freak

Prince of Thralls - get those dying permanents

Rakdos, Lord of Riots - creature cheats

Steel Hellkite - board wiping after damage, can destroy stuff that Grixis can't normally kill

Sheoldred, Whispering One - Recursion and removal

Solemn Simulacrum - card draw and ramp

Duskmantle Seer - card draw, drain the opponent down. Synergizes with Rakdos, Lord of Riots.

Noncreature spells:
