Basic Grixis control but using Bloodwater Entity and Enigma Drake so while I am controlling I am either buffing the drake or reusing with entity. Main goal is to get out my creatures and prevent my opponent from doing much of anything and ultimately either whittling their life down or ending with Bolas or Torment of Hailfire. For specifics I included more hand control cards to get rid of pesky gods and planeswalkers before they even hit the field. For the times I do not have those spells counter spells such as Negate stop them. The other half is creature control so my counters can be focused more on large threats. Kill spells such as Lightning Strike are a quick way to deal with many creatures and Bontu's Last Reckoning to deal with overpopulation of token decks or aggro decks. Torment of Hailfire can also be great for clearing out your opponent's field if they choose not to take the damage. Some may ask why Nicol Bolas, the Deceiver and to that I say the same reason any planeswalker would be included. Its ablilities. Yes his + don't allow to play a card from your opponent's deck but it is still very useful; and let's be honest, playing a card from your opponent's deck is a 50/50 shot for something useful to you. So far the deck stands really solid but suggestions are welcome to better this deck.
