As the title says
Control is strongly based on the meta. What are you trying to beat.
I've yet to see a good grixis Aggro deck that's actually competitive

I've seen two. One revolved around {deathrite shaman} and {rakdos's return} doing most the heavy lifting and the other was a {snapcaster mage}, {vampire nighthawk} early aggro witg some {talrand, sky summoner}s and {nicol bolas, planeswalker} on the high end.

I was thinking of maybe a combination of rakdos Aggro with izzet early game guitersnipe
The biggest reason why the format is so slow is because of life gainers. There is also very little good removal because of those cards too.
There are some good grixis cards, but you'll have to pick an archtype before anyone can really help with ideas.
{liliana of the veil}
{bonfire of the damned}
{jace architect of thought} would all fit, but like I said, what kind of deck?
I think going full control with burn would be fun. {rakdos return} for a lot then counter everything they play? Idk man tryin to spark an idea.
Plus, maybe {mutilate}? You'd have enough shocks and basics to make it happen. I think it's underplayed...grixis mana base will help with the UB shock too
Well there's a lot of Bant control at my metas right now. One meta is Bant city and the other I'm the only Bant control and win every weekend.
I posted what I came up with.
I have a good grixis deck. I could bump the deck list. I top 4 and top 8 at gameday. My own play mistakes cost me. I'm bring my grixis deck to a SCG IQ on the 17th.
