I bought 2 boxes and got Niko and Loki in the boosters so eventough i don't really like grixis colours I thought I'd give it a shot anyway. The only control I played was Esper dragons and I loved it cuz dragons rule. I have a hard time playing decks with no creatures.

I didn't include any Zendikar/Oath cards since its going out of rotation in less than 2 months.I will play a little with the landbase since these new deserts are kind of awesone and I'm really excited about it. I will try to impove this deck as new cards come out and keep it standard legal. When I have more time I will crack down my opinions on why the card and why a 1 of each or a full playset of something. Any suggestions or thoughts are welcome. The key in my opinion to any control deck is a good sideboard if you want to be competitive. So, without further ado, let's get to it.
