I originally started playing MTG back when 3rd edition came out and had a bunch of old school MTG cards sitting in binders for the past 15 years or so. I have been itching to play with these old gems, particularly my elder dragons. So I'm rocking out Mr. Bolas. I'm been searching for a few different decks online and have tried to tailor mine around what I've seen and a bunch of the cards I have sitting in the binders (about 20 of these cards I still need to get, trading in some old rares I have from Legends (I had a mint Chains of Mephistopheles as well some others that are worth some money that have just been sitting around).
I don't want to invest a terrible amount of money into this deck, it is meant to be fun, not terribly competitive. Albeit I will be bringing it to my LGS to rock it out. But I'm not going to lose sleep if I get beat by a $1000 deck.
I imagine this is a multiplayer deck? You might want to consider taking a look at the multiplayer thread o' decklists, there's some rally good ideas for a Grixis build there.
I noticed when perusing the decklist that it seems like there's a bunch of cards just kind of thrown in without much of a coherent theme, or symmetry. That deck idea seems to work the best in the colors you're in, thankfully, but I've found that most EDH decks can benefit from some type of a focus, or synergy that the deck builds towards.
Do you know what type of deck you're building? Is it s Grixis Spellslinger, or a control/sac/counter deck? Is it lifedrain, direct damage, or Planeswalker Contorl? Do you want to win with general damage?
Once you have an idea of what you want the deck to do, then you can start getting some ideas about what cards best fit that deck theme

I mainly want to stick with the Elder Dragons. I've had them for years and never played them and for now I will only build around them. Maybe with MTGO I will do something different (I don't put much money into that, so its just for fun). The idea I'm looking for with this deck is to make it viable against both 1v1 and multiplayer. Mill people down as fast as possible and use their graveyard against them if able. Basically trying to keep it fairly balanced and try and stop my opponents creatures in their tracks.
Thanks for the input guys. I'm heading out to my LGS in a bit. They don't have a few of the cards I want in this deck in stock unfortunately, but there is always ebay! lol
