I began my journey through Grixis with the new Improvise function and now I just wanna go full Grixis, all the time.

I feel that Control decks end up being very Meta-specific and don't really think you'll know how oe is going to do until you actually go and play it. I was very pleased with my first version of this deck which included Fevered Visions. The most interesting games were against other control decks which would often run the entire time of our round. I've main-boarded a couple board-cleaners since I tend to lose to Agro decks, although with Zombies out and Ramunap red getting a decent gutting, I think control will see a more solid approach with Ixalan.
