Deck discussion for Grixis

This looks fantastic. Grixis control might end up being my favorite build in modern. I only see a couple potential problems in here.

4 cryptics with 24 lands (4 of which are field of ruin) seems like it could be a problem, as you have a decent chance of grabbing 1 in the opening hand and watching it sit like a brick for 10 turns before you grab your 3 blue producers. Personally I would prefer to run 1 jace, vryns prodigy and 3 cryptics over 4 cryptics in this build, but that's me.

You have 13 mainboarded creature hate spells, which is good enough to not worry about some of the "go either way" counters like mana leak or spell snare, both of which do much better when in higher concentration. Running 1 copy of each means both are likely to be top decked rather than seen in the opening or middle, and when opponent has lots of mana available both cards lose effectiveness. I would consider running another countersquall over the mana leak and perhaps a fatal push or opt over the spell snare.

I also don't see a watery grave, which would be a good rounding out of the lands.


Just my thoughts, seems like an excellent build. Good work.

Yeah the absence of watery grave was an accident
