You're missing some of Red-black's most prized removal. Where is the good ol' {deadbore} and {sever the bloodline}?

Yay for {terminate} tho.

No {sol ring} or other articact staples? Everyone could use a bit of ramp in EDH

{Rooftop storm} will turn your commander into a Grixis recking ball.

And {rakdos's return} is totally characteristic of Grixis dominatrix.

LadyGrixis

Thank you John! Like I said, I literally threw this thing together last night while I was half asleep :) but I love these suggestions. +1!

Meant "domination." Don't judge me lol

And those little creatures might not cut it.

JUDGING!!! ;)

Those small creatures that don't seem to fit are simply fillers until I can find other things that do. So pay them no mind, and if you can think of others that would work well, feel free to suggest!

Pirate John

{shadowborn demon}
{desecration demon}
{rune-scarred demon}
Basically a lot of demons
{sheodred, whispering one}

MarduArrow

Not sure if it quite fits the flavor you had in mind but I know my cousin runs  {It That Betrays} in his thrax deck

LadyGrixis

Yeah, I'm trying to stay away from the Eldrazi (even though they're rad!). And I don't just want all big demons. I'd like to splash other things. May add Shadowborn though.

Mlerner12

I don't remember the name, but the RtR 6/6 for 6, flying, that whenever one if your creatures deals damage to a player put that many +1/+1 counters on it? {Necropolis Rehent} or something.

LadyGrixis

{Necropolis Regent} :) Not every creature in this deck can be a CMC of 6 or higher, lol.

Pirate John

{Duskmantle seer} is very much Grixis. Drawpower and burn. You'll take an amazing hit, but it won't be as bad as the people running Eldrazi. If no one has removal or wants to use it on a 4/4, the card can level the playing field in multiplayer EDH

I run a grixis edh too! Except my commander is {thraximundar} and I went for a zombies theme;). {Grimgrin, corpse born} and {Ral Zarek} work awesome together. Also, {Nightscape familiar} for some nice acceleration. {realmwright} is great for mana fixing, if you get lucky enough to pull it.

Most definetly include {sheoldred, whispering one} if you can get a hold of one, she's a beast in any edh deck. And don't forget the O.G. Grixis land, {crumbling necropolis}!

Edit: oh! And how could I forget {cruel ultimatum}!

Lol, first of all, {Cruel Ultimatum} is going in here....it's so terrible!

Secondly, I'm not playing {Sheoldred, Whispering One} because I know how much I hate that card....and I don't want to be hated ;) I want to be fun.

{Crumbling Necropolis} I must find, {Ral Zarek} I will have shortly, and if there are any more Zombies that you can recommend by name, then I'm all ears.
