My take on Grixis (B/R/U) Control

Modern is full of agro creature based decks and strong combo decks. Bant spirits, humans, affinity, hollow vengevine. Bloomless Titan, instant reanimator, living end. To effectively play control you need to be able to effectively answer all the threats. Typically this means you build the deck one way mainboard to favor a particular matchup, and be able to pivot. I don't believe in having a generally worse game one. Tailor your mainboard and sideboard for the meta or your local meta and go from there.
