The old Grixis control decks have died quite some time ago. They were killed a dozen times over by everything from Dredge and Ironworks, through Bloodbraid Elf and Tron, all the way to the main culprits of today's metagame. But now Drown in the Loch is a thing, and so is Into the Story (a card that should likely be only a 2-of). And with these inclusions I'd say it's about time to start playing this deck again.Drown in the Loch is ridiculous, a counterspell and a killspell, with inherent synergies with the favorite cantrip of Grixis control - Thought Scour. A card that shines brighter with each deck that uses fetchlands the metagame is home to.Grixis has always been in a strange spot in modern. The correct way to think about it in my mind is as a slower Jund with Snapcasters. You get amazing removal, cantrips, superb card advantage, and the best counterspell the format has to offer. And Kolaghan's Command and Snapcaster Mage were essentially made to be in the same deck piloting the train to value town.
Right, this is as vanilla control as control gets. The difficult piloting decisions come from not fetching for non-blue sources before you have UUU on the field for one, and knowing when to tap-out against which deck with a threat. Luckily, 5 of your threats have flash, Tasigur costs 1 mana and that's hardly tapping out, and you will likely know when to cackle maniacally after resolving and putting back on top of your deck your lonely copy of Cruel Ultimatum. As for Kalitas, you'll learn when not to play him the hard way, if you don't know already.

I've been advocating stream of thought for quite a while now.I've collected around 14 reasons why it's playable, and I've told plenty of players about it.Search for the decktag: wdm millThen click on the deck called stream of thoughtIt will loop quite well with snapcaster and kolaghan's command as those three cards can keep reviving each other.I'm working on making room for it in my own grixis design that is calledBack in 2018

This deck likes cards in the graveyard and already has mill, but it might find a spot
Into the story and tasigur will love it :)
Stream of Thought doesn't affect the boardstate in any way, but besides that this deck is not really viable anymore since Escape became a thing. Or at least it is not worth spending the money on as compared to other decks.
They can only escape themselves. You can turn stream inwards to increase your own card quality. It can loop alone without the aid of other cards. In doing so it affects the board state indirectly, by milling yourself and reshuffling removal cards.In particular it can reshuffle snapcaster and kolaghan's command. The three cards form a much more powerfull loop.
It’s a great card, but doesn’t belong in every blue deck
It does demand some key elements to be present.I'm trying to teach him about reshuffling as a mechanic :)
I mean, fair enough, but both Into the Story and Drown in the Loch got substantially worse after Theros came out.
Yeah, don't I know it.I've tried to convince millers to cut out visions of beyond from their decks since before 2018, and not even mentioning the escape mechanic seems to convince them.
I feel like delve killed any use of visions
There's so many things killing visions.Maybe modern millers just mill themselves more often than I would think they'd do.
