I want to build a grixis control deck as well when gate crash comes out. I like alot of your deck but personally I do not like {Evil Twin} at all especially in control.
In control you want to stop all of there threats mainly there big threats, your deck has ways to deal with them but you do not want a 4 drop creature that clones there best creature most of the time i feel you will be spending 4 mana to copy a creature that is not worth the turn when you could have more sweepers or removal such as {Dreadbore}
I always like a little mana ramp like {Rakdos Charm} plus {Rakdos Charm takes care of alot of great creatures {Thragtusk}, every creature in mono red except {Ash Zealot} he stops incoming attacks from {Geralfs Messenger} {Rakdos Keyrune} is a great rounded card in the metagame.
To be honest with you I don't think grixis is a good deck in the meta but after gate crash i think it could be a top deck :)
Brewing 4 color control ramp now :)
I have it in for my meta cause there's Geist of saint Traft.. No way to get rid I him unless I snapcaster and block. But when gatecrash comes out lazav will go in for evil twin.. I might put 4 Lazav, Dimir Mastermind.. And sweet! I hope this deck gets better
Watery grave isnt out yet
