Nice deck man I think the grixis control decks are finally going to shine at least for a few weeks anyways

Thank you. I like grixis bc it has quite a few options for win conditions and they can all be different between creatures or spells or lands. Any thoughts for sideboard?

Also I will r/f if someone does the same and leaves the name of their deck

I could see {stab wound} being good in a constructed control deck.  I was playing a junk tempo deck at the prerelease and stab wound was a superstar.  Great limited card....I am just saying I think it is viable in a control build.

Utility Lands perhaps? You can hit {Desolate Lighthouse}, {Stensia Bloodhall} and {Nephalia Drownyard}.

I second stab wound. It's removal of an annoying 2/2 and a bleed, whichever works best depending on the board. Mind taking a look at mine? Voodoo Party Demon and friends.

The problem with stab wound is paying 3 mana to kill something I'm using 1 mana or 2 mana to kill. With aggressive decks I won't have the time for that. Also without some sort of shenanigans to abuse it it is not worth increasing my curve for that.

About the utility lands. I didn't include any bc I didn't know what I wanted and didn't want to stretch the manna too thin.between the ravings and charms with niv and jace I should be able to cycle thru my deck quick enough.
