I'm looking for something to replace Magmaquake since I'm running some walkers. Any suggestions? Grixis Control

They're all good, but you know, Magmaquake is an instant, and that surely counts a lot. I'll think about Mizzium Mortars though, or Barter in Blood. Thank you, and did you take a look at the deck? If yes, what do you think about it, same changes I should do, adding or taking out some cards?

Well if Magmaquake is still what you're looking for in the slot, one option would just be to run with it. In most instances, you're looking to sweep the field then play out a walker. It might lead to a dead draw in some cases, but if you're stabilized and landing a Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker you're probably not in much need of it.
As for the rest of the deck, I probably wouldn't mainboard Slaughter Games. Grixis has to stay on top of threats since it lacks big stabilization spells like Supreme Verdict or Sphinx's Revelation. So you don't either want to be guessing spells in their deck or awkwardly responding to the threat that's already hit the board. Considering how color intensive a few of your key spells are, you may want to consider dropping the Nephalia Drownyard for colored mana for the time being. You have plenty of win-cons without them right now. Obviously more dual lands won't hurt.

Well Bonfire of the Damned is your best bet, but if your on a tighter budget Rolling Temblor, Mizzium Mortars, Mutilate, Curse of Death's Hold and Barter in Blood can fill a similar role but they all have drawbacks.
