Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer, while it is a fantastic magic card is also the bane of my existence as I will never own a full playset for fear of its eventual banning. Ledger Shredder who I believe create more necessary advantage than ragavan with facilitating discard helps our game plan of Tolarian Terror. We are definitely not a turbo terror build, we go with the consistent, slow burn type of grixis gameplay I have come to love. We interact with the opponent on the opening few turns, kill their creatures, counter their spells while gaining incremental value from Dragon's Rage Channeler and some cantrips like Expressive Iteration and Mishra's Bauble to find our threats and the mana to play them.

maybe:

3x Archmage's Charm (MH1) 4x Cryptic Command (IMA) 2x Defabricate (BRO) 3x Fatal Push (2XM) 2x Force of Negation (2X2) 3x Kolaghan's Command (2X2) 2x Lightning Bolt (30A:454)

Major considerations are Force of Negation for the Spell Pierce as well as the interesting stifle // counterspell from (BRO), Defabricate to maybe gain some "scam-like" advantage with stifling Subtlety's evoke trigger. If this turns out to be a great play I might make a "grixis scam" build and go a little harder on the idea, but until then its just a small possible advantage to be had that could come in handy.

Beyond this, and as with any deck the mana base is difficult to clean up. I HATE the filter land Cascade Bluffs and sunken ruin it always seems that I get one land hands and... yep, its a filter land... mulligan... eye-roll. So maybe some fast lands from (SOM) are in order
