{Thraximundar} can make a scary general, expensive as he may be, and fits your grixis colors.

Yeah, I thought about it, but the cost did deter me. And as far as cost goes, I thought for a moment, about {lord of tresserhorn}. I've also condidered {crosis, the purger}

{Tetsuo Umezawa} goes well in a control deck with {Prince of Thralls}.

But I just can't go past {Nicol Bolas}. Vintage. 😉

Duh! It's {Mishra, Artificer Prodigy} of course!

Hahaha but yea, Thrax is deffinately scary and his haste almost makes up for how expensive he is. Also this is easier to play him again if you can play {Urborg, Tomb of Yagmoth} and {Cabal Coffers}.

But I personally I love Bolas because he IS Grixis lol.

I love him! What a great Orc. He's my alternate general in my {Kresh, the Bloodraided} deck. That and {Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund} but only when my friend plays his Dragon EDH deck. Cuz it stops him from deciding to cascade into {hypergenesis}.

It's like you've seen my deck already. 👍
Toss in a {Gleancralwer}, and go recursive!

I am intrigued. But not enough to go surf the forums for your deck if you posted it. Is there a search function for shared decks by username? lol

I never posted it; I dismantled it some time ago. I have it written down, though.
I think the search function would pull up everytime my name pops up in the sub-category. I usually post my stuff in "Other". It's quieter over there. 💤

Other than the Grixis ones already mentioned, there really aren't that. Any left that's worth while. Blue on the other hand is endless...

Yeah, I thought maybe {Tefiri, Mage of Zhalfir}

{Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur} (Jin-Gaxis, the Uncastable) can be a pretty good mono blue commander, as long as you play some artifact ramp

Both very good suggestions. I often go for {Arcanis, the Omnipotent}
