This is my first attempt at a Nicol Bolas deck. The deck is a Grixis control deck with several discard effects in line with the Master's ability. Discard, counters, boardwipes, and sacrifice will fill opponents' graveyards, with ample opportunity to resurrect their creatures under my control, as well as copy/clone and steal effects.
As a relatively new player, I want to begin experimenting with a three color control deck that requires a higher degree of skill than my previous decks. However, aside from feeling overwhelmed by the sheer amount of cards and diversity of NB decks I've seen, I'm having trouble finding the right balance between discard, counterspells, boardwipes, steals, copies, and finishers, as well as how well they interact. Does my deck seem cohesive? Does it have a clear path to victory? Any input and guidance would be greatly appreciated!

I like it a lot
Also there are better mana rocks. Mana Vault is a good one.
I would also play more counters. Counterflux is good as is Dissipate.
