I like the deck though I have a few suggestionsJace, Architect of Thought would be better than Ral Zarek in my opinionI think you'd be better off with 25 land than 24 as you typically want more land in control.Personally I don't think Swan song is good here. You don't really want to be giving your opponents creatures via swan song.Rapid Hybridization, again you don't really want to give your opponents creatures.--However you could run some of one or the other. I think your supporting your deck with too many double sided control cards. If your worried about guns like Blood Baron, and Obzedat you have other options but could still keep a one or the other. Personally I'd err on the side of caution keeping Rapid Hybridization instead of Swan Song because it doesn't require you to have the answer in hand already versus being able to top deck.Instead of Rapid/Swan I'd consider the following optionsFar//Away- Can really help slow down an opponent by killing one of there creatures (even blood baron because of no targeting) and bounce a different one which could slow them down.Doom Blade- Cheap effective removal, can feel a bit limited but still very powerful in generalMizzium Mortars, another card that deals effectively with Blood Baron of Vizkopa, also eventually you may be able to overload it and wipe an opponents board like a powered up Anger of the Gods.Another thing to consider is having 1 or 2 "Opportunity" as it is a solid draw that is more or less the "Sphinx's Rev" for Grixis (or any other non-W/B control deck).

Edited a little. How would you fit Jace and Rakdos' Return in the deck?
Rakdos's Return is an absolutely awesome card in the fact that it can strip an opponents hand while killing a planeswalker they control, or even them given it's late game. With that said you could consider them in place of Dreadbores, however then you have less creature removal and dreadbore does deal with planeswalkers a little more efficiently than Rakdos's Return. So honestly I'm not quite sureJace on the other hand, I think he would serve you better than Ral Zarek. He slows down faster decks pretty well while protecting himself. Also his card draw can be quite effective. Ral Zarek in my opinion doesn't do much, he can kill something, though nothing huge, and then untap a land of yours and tap down their best creature which just untaps anyways. /shrug
To fit in Jace I would be dropping Hythonia and 1 Niv-Mizzet - it's control so you don't need a lot of creatures and Aetherlings more than fill that spot. Jace would allow your creatures to survive using his +1 or allow you to draw into them more easily. There's nothing more satisfying than -2 Jace and revealing 2 Aetherlings and a counterspell/removal and watching your opponents face fall.Otherwise I'm loving this deck and thinking about playing a variation of it myself.
This looks good, but I'd definitely take Snakerunners advice. I want to make a Grixis deck and I'll definitely be taking some ideas from this. Good job :)
Consider Rakdos's Return in addition to the above suggestions.
Took your guys' ideas and made my own Grixis deck. Mind checking it out?http://www.mtgvault.com/scottymandingo/decks/grixis-control/
I like what you have going on here. I would suggest using less creatures in favor of more removal. Izzet Charm is nice and Mizzium Mortars is indispensible. Heck...id even play a set of thought seize in the main deck. I have a very successful grixis control deck that I play. Maybe it could give you some ideas.http://www.mtgvault.com/zach255/decks/standard-grixis/
Looking good
