Deck discussion for GrixisModern Control Deck

If you're okay with a more mainstream design, you could make the following changes:

+2 Thoughtscour
+3 Gurmag Angler
+3 Inquisition of Kozilek
+2 Thoughtseize

-1 Grave Titan
-2 Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet
-1 Damnation
-1 Rise // Fall
-1 Spell Snare
-1 Far // Away
-1 Cryptic Command
-1 Kolaghan's Command
-1 Swamp

The reasons for the above suggestions:
With delve cards, Thoughtscour is literally a blue Dark Ritual + cantrip.
Gurmag Angler helps abuse Thoughtscour. It's also a really big creature for very little mana, allowing your deck to quickly take the role of a tempo deck when required.
Inquisition of Kozilek is usually just better than Spell Snare. If Spell Snare is really important, cut a copy of mana leak for it.
One of the biggest reasons to run Grixis Control is the great discard spells available. Use them.
Grave Titan and Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet are quite expensive to cast. Tasigur, the Golden Fang and Gurmag Angler are much cheaper to play.
With all the discard, removal and counter spells, Damnation becomes more of a sideboard card.
All the other spells on the list are basically just making way for the discard spells.
All these changes lower your average converted mana cost, allowing you to cut a land.

Personnaly I tried to never play discard and counter in same deck, its just to much in modern IMO. But now that Ancestral Vision is back ill switch to discard for sure. They are better with Jace and GDD.

For now Im testing a list without tasigur, its difficult to not sleeve him but Kalitas do so much better in my meta. Im still not sure that a grixis deck want to play creature as slow as GDD and Kalitas since they dont have flash or delve but they are both good beater and they are both pretty good in what they are supposed to do. And they still easier to cast then the time when ultimatum was our win con ;)

I just picked up those Jace, but they do alot with the vision or any other useless spell to put them in GY for GDD.

Thanks for you comment
