Have you found that keranos and anger are worth splashing red into ub control?Is lightning strike powerful enough removal? I think sarkhan or stormbreath would be worth a shot here, and you also have access to mindswipe. I think if you ran mindswipes next to craters claws here not only are you gaining extra counter/removal but you're also gaining extra wins, THEN I think lightning strike would be worth running. Considering the control build though I think you might benefit more from magma jet for the scry.Justy two cents. I love grixis. Hopefully we get another Nicol Bolas next expansion!

Tbh I haven't ever played this deck, I'm not sure if it works well.I based it off a jeskai control deck in my meta that finishes with Keranos and Elspeth.I agree about mindswipe. That could have some potential here.I see what you're saying with lightning strike/magma jet. I think you might be right. There isn't all that much that survives a magma jet that wouldn't survive a lightning strike in STD aside from seeker (if prowess) and mantis rider. Both of which are in the jeskai matchup.
