Mind Funeral over Mind Grind

The deck holds its doom with Gauntlet of Power if its not on the field it looks like your deck is dead in the water with very poor creature control. Add in more world effects that wipe the board of creatures damnation is great but it isn't enough. Personaly I would take sorin's thirst and put in tenticils of corruption more life more verse in creature size.
I looked at it and the sudden detain is what it is sudden. I'm just saying looking at fighting the deck, by the time you got the assassins out if I'd let them get out I would think a detain or two wouldn't hurt me. thats why I think the land is better.
Seems simple enough. A bounce deck that keeps up entering triggers. But the always problem with bounce is "I need more bounce". lol Cloudshift is amazing, nice deck.
Druid's Deliverance is nice, but I thik it would go against what this deck is doing. By having 4 intanglibe Virtues and 4 Gavony Townships the point of the deck is to mass a big force with big numbers and then they all don't tap, they are both attacker and defenders. My worry is that the deck doesn't suppy enough creatures. I see where they come from but its a bit worriesome about what happens ealiy game, this deck is great mid to late game but a burn deck may screw with it. On that the lands are a bit over board. 2 Gavony should be more then enough and evolving wilds is pointless in a green deck in ravinca with that 0/2 defender that pulls a land out. All in all I'd take out two lands and add in two more O'rings
why did you even add white? its not really that helpful in what this deck could do. BTW if you run vraska you may want to run a few of the new lands that make a creature unblockable till end of turn.
Why not replace sudden death with dismember? But I love the unmake, its sad how little shadowmoor and eventide get played now even with modern and legacy.

I'm just going off my own personal feeling that a L/D deck should piss off everyone so much that they don't want to play any lands. So see a card that inflicts Dmg. for playing a land seems like a spot for another L/D card instead.
5 Lavaclaw Reaches? umm. Craterize over Demolish? Ankh of Mishra isn't very effective, along with the echo cost of Avalache Riders. You might as well put in another 4 mana costing spell.Poison the Well seems like a good replacement or Goblin Ruinblaster.
Your control is about normal for an average grixis deck, but the fact that your dead in the water until turn 4 is a bit of a problem. Your only first turn spell is tragic slip and in the deck you have its usless becuase your not going use morbid, using dismember would be the replacing choice. Sadly your fighting up hill battle and any fast play deck will run you down before you can get close to getting out the cool spells. I'd simple take out a spell or two and take the lands down to 24 and add in a fodder base creature that can help you control, maybe discard. All in all grixis isn't a fast deck color but your deck wont survive long enough to get out more then 1 Olivia.
