---

Grixis Cruel Control, using Nicol Bolas as the finisher. Consistently gets Bolas out by turn 5, early as turn 3 with a God hand.

Any feedback is welcomed, as are suggestions. Grixis is my favorite color combination, so I want this deck to be my pride and joy; it'll probably never stop being worked on. Any suggestions to make the deck more effective are fine, even expensive ones.

Wincons:

Nicol Bolas himself

Deadeye Navigator + Dragon Tempest + Nicol Bolas

Deadeye Navigator + Hellkite Charger + Palinchron

Thanks for looking!
