Yes, it's popular. No, I'm not netdecking. I just love playing control, so I'm putting together my own version of any control decks I can think of. If this version of Grixis Control happens to be similar to someone elses, sorry :). I'm bad at making sideboards. Currently, all that's in there is a few serious sideboard candidates (Pithing Needle and Thought Hemorrhage) and a few cards that I just like playing Lol. Can anyone make some suggestions?

Just a comment on my most recent revelation in sideboarding. One of my biggest weaknesses is that usually I theme a deck around a single card, or perhaps a few cards. As a result I usually end up week vs specific decks. Previously I had sideboarded to try specifically to compensate for those weaknesses. Lately however... I find that instead of trying to protect my deck so much, which usually just slows it down. I sideboard extra things to make it more aggressive in certain situations. Specifically I usually blend the deck to be about half and half between creatures, creature destruction, offensive spells and defensive spells. From there I am now building sideboards to replace one of those halves with more of the other. For example if you're making a deck that counters and destroys creatures primarily, you're going to want to sideboard enough stuff that if you come up against a creatureless deck or creature heavy deck you can adapt to that scenerio. I find cards that target a specific color or small group of cards pointless, but ones that can cover a wide range of options are always good for sideboard.

Hey, thanks a lot man, I appreciate the comment. By watching a couple videos and from looking at your comment, I worked out an acceptable sideboard for this deck. Decided to add agro like you said, so I stuck in some vampires :). Plus I had totally forgotten about Swerve and Double Negative, so both of those are in here now. I changed quite a bit of things, including the mana base.
Another comment, while it's totally poppable and really flimsly I like Slavering Nulls for this kind of deck. It plays on turn two, and on turn 3 if you've done your job and removed blockers while countering attempts to off it (with Countersquall and or Double Negative for example) it's like a mini blightning by the time you start whacking people with it.
