This is a deck I'm currently working on. I am actually fairly new to the EDH scene, so I may have some funky card choices. I was making a Grixis standard deck and thought it would be more fun to turn it into an EDH project instead.
I'm aiming for more casual than competitive, I'd say - it's looking more effective in single player but I'm trying to make it somewhat multiplayer. Revolves around winning with Planeswalkers, combos, or gaining too much tempo for the opponent(s) to keep up.
I need help with the manabase.. I couldn't afford most of the really expensive lands. I'm also worried the curve will be too high as of now, which is why I added a fair amount of mana acceleration.
This is the first version so obviously there will be changes to make it less rough around the edges.
*As you probably noticed, the deck is currently 9 cards over the limit. I need your help on what cards to take out and what cards to add/replace.
Cuts:
Mindslaver
Staff of Nin
Armillery Sphere
Obelisk of Grixis
Liliana of the Veil
Jace Beleren
Banefire
Fabricate
Increasing Ambition
Diabolic Tutor
Sever the Bloodline
Consuming Vapors
Blightning
Ponder
Some of these cuts hurt, but I don't know what else I would take out in their stead.
Also, considered Leyline of Anticipation and Shattering Spree.

Some good suggestions. I dropped Blightning and Mindslaver, and Telepathy even though it's fun to use.
Added Decree of Pain. The rest I'm not sure. I also added 3 more land and slimmed it down to 100. I'll update later.
However, I'm trying to find some good enchantment destruction within the deck's colors. I get locked down quite often by a few if they get them out early.

Also, two of the 4 Artifact lands were added; never really thought of tutoring for them.
