Deck Description

As per the usual, your comments/suggestions and likes are appreciated!

Flavor text: "People's thoughts just come to me. Sometimes I don't know if it's them or me thinking."

This is my take on a Grixis Control deck. As with any control deck, the idea behind this deck is to render your opponent incapable of winning and then killing them off from there.

How to Play

The idea behind this deck is to slow down your opponent with various control mechanisms and then win with your creatures.

Jace, Vryn's Prodigy and Snapcaster Mage work in this deck primarily to let you cast instant/sorcery cards from your graveyard. Jace can also work as a means to weaken a creature of your opponents as a planeswalker.

Tasigur serves as a card to get instant/sorcery cards into your graveyard to recast with Jace or Snapcaster Mage or bring back creature cards to your hand with Kolaghan's Command.

Liliana of the Veil is another planeswalker card whose function should be obvious; gaining better control over the board and card advantage.

Pia and Kiran Nalaar serve as a means of dealing damage to your opponent by sacrificing the thopter tokens they send out. Those tokens could also be used as flying blockers should you need them for such a situation.

The rest of the cards in this deck shouldn't need explanation as to their purpose.

As always, hope you enjoy this (expensive) deck!

Deck discussion for Grixis Control

This reads as a who's who of the best red/black/blue cards.

I think I've seen this with beta lands as a vintage deck...

Anyway, good deck.

Yeah, sorry. My deck descriptions are becoming kind of bland. This is a pretty common deck archetype in competitive Modern tournaments - I've made a few changes from what would be, more or less, a netdeck. Glad you like the deck :)
