Deck Help forum

i have 2 free slots since i plan cutting 1Pithing Needle and Illness in the Ranks since both of those dont need to be 3offs. needles was only 3off against drownyards and illness folowed a similar concept of choice, since neither of those are still in standard it means my sideboard has free space. so i was thinking of some cards to deal with the graveyard.
the master of grixis is back is my deck and while i know of a couple of cards in these colors that fit. i would like to hear your opinion on the card i should/you think i should pick.

Pithing Needle solves your Whip problem pretty handily, actually. That may even be your best option since you can get it down sooner than a Whip of Erebos and it's a little harder to deal with than a Cerberus (since it's not a creature).
Crypt Incursion has some potential value; since it's an instant, you can respond to a Whip activation with it and null the ability, and if th recursion decks that form up become ones that dump lots of creatures in the yard, it could gain you a good chunk of life in the process.
Vile Rebirth can do spot removal and get you a zombie in the process, but there's really not that much value there other than its low cost and the humor of turning Obzedat, Ghost Council into a mere 2/2 zombie.
