Notes:
Control the board state untill I can get {nicol bolas planeswalker} out or I could burn them for lethal. Ideas please.Copy {temporal mastery} with {increasing vengeance} to have three turns to burn my opponent out or have extra turns to build up mana for nicol. This is my first attempt at a grixis deck.
{Barter in blood}
4 {Guilded lotus} Why?

4 {Guilded lotus} Why?
4 i dont understand, but if the question is why lotus, it is amazing ramp in a control build and helps both with casting end games earlier and leaving mana open to protect them.
Well throw in a {Devil's Play} so if you have two {Guilded Lotus} then you can have a pretty quick win.
All right I updated it with what I thought is a nice combo. I A. {increasing vengance} a {temporal mastery} to get set up for nicol or I can use it to burn {devils play} for lethal. Let me know what you all think. I want nicol to be good.
