Here is my fourth EDH, third in the multiplayer section. I set out when designing this deck with the goal of creating a Nicol Bolas themed EDH. Since that point I have changed general and changed the general focus of the deck. It is meant to be a Grixis control deck which has several routes to victory, combo or creatures. Some of you will no doubt question Thrax; I find him to be very good at closing games often being a much stronger threat than my opponents' generals.
This deck is all about controlling the board using cheap spells, then finishing with a massive monster like Thraximunder or Geth. This deck is not about playing your general as soon as possible (unusual for EDH), requiring no small amount of finesse in politics and resource management to be successful. This deck is not for players who want to feel secure behind an aggressive open. Bluffing is a mandatory skill, as is drawing enough actual control magic. This is quite easy considering the number of cards which cycle or otherwise draw cards.
Major update today, covering all the little updates I have made to this list since I first posted it. Following this update the deck is now competitive, and so will be reflected in the tagline.
