I'm working on a budget version of grixis multiplayer, with the exception of Sol Ring and Bargain which I already own. Trying to keep individual cards under 50C where possible.
The biggest question I have is Callous Oppressor vs. Last One Standing. My group is usually creature based, with one mono black life drain deck. Oppressor combos with marauder and is a good way to build a board presence, last one standing and whelming wave combo with archaeomancer for a board lock.
Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated as well
Oppressor vs LOS is a question of removal. If your meta is removal-light then Oppressor is likely the way to go. Otherwise stick with the "guaranteed" effect that LOS offers.
You have too much ramp and too little to do with it. I'd keep 4 of the rocks (not counting Sol Ring obv) and cut the others. 22 lands and 4 rocks is the way to go. Treat Sol Ring as a land for counting purposes. Otherwise, add more card draw if you want to consistently hit your land drops. Preordain, Impulse, Manifold Insights, Fact or Fiction, these are better options than lands when you're playing Blue.
Portent isn't a useful Magic card in this style of deck. I'd definitely cut it for a better cantrip.
Okay, I updated it per your suggestions. Since I am running black I prefer Syphon Mind over Manifold Insights, and I decided to keep talisman in order to make sure I can hit intimations. We are pretty low on removal right now, I will probably switch in last one standing if my meta changes.
Goldfishing this, Fact or Fiction is surprisingly good with Dark Intimations. I can drop an archaeomancer or dark intimations into the grave, the other one into my hand and go off from there.
Yeah, Sangro doesn't fit well in any other deck I own, but together with Dark Intimations it's crazy good in large FFA's.
Despite other choices I could run, I run 4xSangro in my grixis MP deck.
I don't own God-Pharaoh yet, still running my deck with a single Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker for flavour, which isn't too shabby in it's own right, although Sepultura Primordial is easily the better card.

My Grixis MP deck also uses sets of Dark Intimations, Archaeomancer, Fleshbag Marauder with 2 Sepulchral Primordial's.
The life difference this card can generate quickly with DI, Fleshbag etc. isn't shabby.
