Note
This is the no expense spared deck. I myself will not be building this version.
A budget version (~ $100) here: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/breaking-the-meta-on-a-budget/
And now, why this deck breaks the meta
the Languish + Siege Rhino thing is just stupid
Grixis Control has access to what other control decks dont have: a way to deal with RDW quickly
Anger of the Gods clears their board t3, and unlike Drown in Sorrow, Monastery Swiftspear cant easily escape from it
Drown in Sorrow is there as a backup, plus the scry
Scouring Sands is great since it destroys their tokens or forces Atarka's Command to be used defensively
Hydrolash saves us from a buttload of damage and draws a card
Languish just clears the board]]

How the deck works
Sweepers are extremely strong in standard right now. A lot of decks focus around the creatures, or just having a creature on board. This deck exiles a lot too, which helps against Whip and Deathmist.
This is a control deck though, with a bit of an advantage in a mirror matchup. We have Silumgar Monument. Its a 3 mana win condition, meaning we can get it out turn 6 WITH mana to counter. Its an artifact until we make it a creature, meaning it evades removal until we need to attack.
Dragonlord Kolaghan is strong against lots of decks because as soon as she comes out, she demands an answer. She's bigger than Thunderbreak and Stormbreath, can block Silumgar, and can trade Ojutai. She punishes HEAVILY for playing a second Boon Satyr or a second Ashiok.
Stain the Mind is something you're gonna sideboard every game. As soon as you figure out their win con, just stain the mind it away.
