---

Just got back into Magic. Friends mostly are casual and play Commander, so wanted a Grixis inspired control-ish deck, on somewhat of a budget. Starting my collection over from scratch, and dont want to over spend on one deck, especially one where I dont want to ram everything thats good into the deck and stomp my friends, and overspend.

I havent bought these yet, so looking for some feedback/suggestions.

Some interesting interactions with Notion Thief and Whispering Madness, as well as Isochron Scepter/ Dualcaster Mage combo with Rite of Replication/Cackling Counterpart.

The biggest area for improvement definitely lies with the mana base. Like I said, I am just getting back into things from scratch, and am trying to get this up and running on somewhat of a budget.

Any feedback would be much appreciated!

Oh, I will be buying all the relevant Grixis commanders as well (Thrax, Nekusar etc). I know this deck wont be optimized to run with them, but wanted to theme this more towards Bolas, because, come on, there is always a greater power.
