An attempt to build a deck using Omnispell Adept and some fat sorceries like Apex of Power and River's Rebuke fell pretty flat, unsurprisingly. Considering that attempt was within a Grixis control shell, and since Bolas is just fun to play, the whole Omnispell Adept package was removed to make room for some card advantage and a bit more to do in general early in the game. More recently, I changed some sorcery speed draw spells for instant speed and made room for some cards more on theme with what this deck is trying to do. Still looking to do some tweaking for sure, and any (constructive) suggestions are more than welcome. Thanks!
