Sultai Control, a new twist on the BGx shell, based on Gerard Fabiano's SCG Baltimore winning deck.

Victim of Night is a poor's man Terminate. It's definitely greedy, but the deck is capable of hitting BB quite consistently. Urborg is probably worth a try, but I'm happy with the current manabase.

I had a 1/1 split of Victim and Murderous Cut but I already have 2 Tasigur and Goyfs, so I don't want to delve that much.

I removed both Ashioks from the MD. Tested Phyrexian Arena first and now I'm trying Monastery Siege. The Khans mode draws an extra card and feeds Tasigur/Goyf, which's nice. The Dragons mode is decent against Burn albeit a bit too slow at 3cc, but it's also good against random decks.

An earlier version had 1 Jace AoT but I wanted to lower the curve while still keeping 2 Cryptics and 2 Damnations, so Jace had to go. It's probably a good SB option.

If you're feeling extra greedy, you can cut down to 23 lands but I like to be sure I won't get stuck at 2-3 lands and Serum Visions helps a lot to avoid flooding.

I feel one slot from the SB should be geared towards the grindy BGx and URx matchups. I had a Wurmcoil Engine there (castable under Blood Moon) but another Thragtusk is also an option.

For a while I had 4 IoK and 1 Thoughtseize but Tron and Amulet basically require the turn 1 discard to be beatable and Thoughtseize is better than IoK against Tron.
