Deck discussion for Grixis Control

I disagree with the 4 Turn // Burn & the 2 Ultimate Price(2-1 is better)... ...you have 2 Downfall in the sideboard wich are your 5th & 6th, so I guess it'll be 15 cards, if you correct that... :)

I dislike the set of ounters you have here... ...I doubt the 2 AEtherling would be enough(what if you have to discard both, or got Slaughter Gamed?

You should also construct your mana base more conciously... ...you don't need that many blue mana, nor black, so drop the Izzet Guildgate, 2 Island & 1 Swamp, than add 4 Mountain & 3 Mutavault!..

Mortars is better than to use just one of it... ...it's enough for Blood Baron & other potential threats & also awesome against fast aggro...

You should run Thoughtseize & Rakdos's Return... ...2 Anger should be mainboard & I won't use 2 Slaughter Games as sideboards(you either run 3-4, or none)...


Here is a Grixis of mine, it could help: http://www.mtgvault.com/poetmasterx/decks/anger-of-the-swine/

The reason i run counters is for cards that the creature removal cant deal with, like whip of erabos and the many gods. I do agree with adding more mizziums, and for only having the aetherlings, i have the 2 dragons sideboard for that exact reason. The land base is still in progress, and im still deciding if i want to add mutavaults or not. As for the rakdos returns, i tried them out at fnm, but they are only good if your already in control, and they dont help much to turn a losing game back into your favor like a card such as far and away or even turn and burn. Perhaps though, i should give them a second chance and see how its goes.

In Grixis, Rakdos, Jund & Oros control decks, you need to have massive & fast board control to gain control... ...that way, you'll have the opportunity to cast Rakdos's Return without taking considerable damage next the turn...

You need to play Dragons & Demons mainboard... ...they're must!..
