A Grixis control deck conceived in the months leading up to Aether Revolt, built to take advantage of the combo of the newly leaked card Yahenni's Expertise and Liliana, the Last Hope.

I hope to be using this deck for some time to come and begin updating it though every standard, while I'm still playing this style of deck.
