A take on Grixis control, intended to have a fair chance at beating:

Gruul Devotion

Esper/UW Control

Black Devotion

Selesnya Aggro

Dega Midrange

Those are the top tier decks I expect to perform well in my local meta. I also have in mind the matchups versus Naya, RDW, Blue Devotion. The wincons are intentionally split because they complement each others in some ways, while multiples would not. The deck can win on the back of either Aetherling, Ashiok, Thassa or Prognostic Sphinx.

PS. I am a fan of "clean" decklists, and the numbers might make more sense like this:

6 defensive "creatures" (Frostburn Weird + Rakdos Keyrune)

6 wincons (Aetherling, Sphinx, Thassa, Ashiok)

2 Rakdos's Return (finisher/CA)

6 card-draw spells (Jace, Thoughtflare/Opportunity)

10 removal of which 4 catch-many (AotG, Mortars) and 6 catch-any (Dreadbore, Far//Away)

4 countermagic (Izzet Charm, Syncopate)

26 lands (of which 16 CitPt, 10 basics)
