Deck discussion for Nicol Bolas Takes Control

Is this meant to be a mill control grixis or a creature/counter grixis?

It's more like a mill control, but the creatures are a backup condition that keep me safe normallu

ok, in that case...
For starters, I'd recommend only 1 Nico Bolas and 2 Ashioks. Planeswalkers can be a great weapon, but, they are expensive(both $ and mana for the most part) making multiple copies often a hindrance more than an aid.
secondly, this card is pricy, but considering you have Ashiok in it I'd recommend running 4 Glimpse the Unthinkable(ravnica card)... 2 mana for 10 card mill is always fun.(if it is too expensive, mind funeral as well as mind sculpt are great alternatives) and that should help control off of a mill standpoint. Traumatize is fun too!

Sorry if that sounded rude... I don't mean for any of this to be mean, just as a friendly helpful hints and stuff :)

That doesn't sound rude at all, it actually helped this deck a lot :) makes it much better at milling and much faster, so thank you :D

just as another idea for a creature... id suggest removing the master of cruelties/aqueous form combo and instead put in some more mill cards and either lazav, dimir master mind or fogbanks. the fogbanks are for pure protection, while the lazav is just(to me) an incredible utility creature, especially in a mill.

Side-note, maybe put in one Jace, Memory Adept.

Glad to hear I could help, one final note might be adding in a different land base...
City of Brass could help, or a creature named realmwright. that should give you a solid mana fix if you run playsets of each...or just one of them.
