Grixis counters?
Deck Help forum

My friend has a grixis control deck that basically just counters everything, or lets me have my creatures then steals them with Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker while building up to crap like Balefire Dragon, Griselbrand, and Stormtide Leviathan. What is a good counter for grixis control decks? Any help is appreciated, thanks!
Grixis control loses hard to Esper control.
Use Cavern of Souls if you don't like counterspells.

THe control deck will nto have a very fast early game. A delver variant will be fast enoug and tempoey ehough to beat it. Also, a deck like burn will have too many spells for them to counter. Plus, use cards like Slaughter Games to eliminate their threats.

It's pretty hard to tell you just what cards to play. Try not playing into his soft counters (Syncopate ), and making him waste his hard counters (Dissipate ) on your second-best spells. This could lead to him getting to his big finishers while you're still behind, though. What kind of deck are you playing? Pack powerful removal and play carefully into his permission.
