I think Kess, Dissident Mage is a great card, and I think she has a lot of utility being able to recycle low cost Wizard's Lightning and Wizard's Retort.

Also, to be silly, I threw 4 Unmoored Ego in. While typically you'd only need 2, and maybe sideboard them, I put 4 in to exile your opponents entire deck. These can easily be switched out with the Thought Erasure

For those of you wondering why no Vraska's Contempt, Bedevil hits those artifacts which stop us from using cards in our graveyard. I mean, if you want you can probably throw one in or side board it sure.

Now, I will be updating this as I see fit, but the idea is to stick with the Wizard Kess, Dissident Mage synergy.

Now generally when I make decks, I don't put in any land, unless that is exclusively part of the strategy of the deck. This is because 9 times out of 10, people put their favourite shock lands, check lands scry lands etc. Plus, they're not essential to making the deck. So feel free to add whichever lands you want/have. Personally, I like the Temples, but if you don't, that's fine too.

This time however, I am suggesting adding a couple Crypt of the Eternals or Crumbling Necropolis as I think they are the only Grixis tri-coloured lands in rotation.
