[Wsuryanjeska]

I would lose the searing spears and 1 bonfire

[Calebestes]

What about the plains walkers?

[Ragingtiger]

I like the list. Is this something you have and are going to be playing with?

[Empathie]

Might need more lands, mayb tryout AEtherling instead of bolas

This or more  {Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius} or  {Olivia Voldaren} also maybe to many counterspells?

[Calebestes]

I actually have all the cards and I want bolas to work, but it's just so hard to make grixis work.  They don't really have any high value cards.

[Joshnoodles]

I love  {Mercurial Chemister} he's really powerful and rather cheap to play. Plus he can create crazy draw power. He's one of my favorite cards.

[Ragingtiger]

I feel like it needs more win conditions. How about a  {Griselbrand} for - 1  {Counterflux}? Or maybe 2-3  {Desecration Demon} where you can fit them.

[IntoFire]

 {Tribute to Hunger} maybe?

[Coffee Vampire]

I like Empathie's suggestion. Even if you don't want to cut bolas, I also recomend making some room for {Ætherling}. Perhaps cut one snapcaster mage, in case you realize that you draw too many late game when you would rather be casting a bomb instead of recasting burn, draw, discard, or removal. Don't get me wrong, snappy is great, running 4 gives you a lot of value. Just an idea.

[Calebestes]

I just really wan bolas.

[Calebestes]

Yeah that is true.  So can grixis even be viable?

Yeah that is true.  So can grixis even be viable?

Very much so, you have the control aspect while keeping a consistent damage output. I never like playing grixis because it always goes to round 3.
