    Sideboard:
    3 Izzet Staticaster
    2 Doom Blade
    2 Jace, Memory Adept
    1 Annul

    1 Gainsay
    1 Counterflux
    1 Slaughter Games
    1 Rakdos Charm
    1 Pithing Needle


    I will take this time to point out that I love being able to just play a bunch of 1-of counters in the sideboard that all do roughly the same thing.

    Seriously think this will be really good this format. Far/Away plus Anger of the Gods is pretty much the big reason to go Grixis for control. Rakdos's Return and Aetherling solidify that.

    Could be a possibility that I want a second Ashiok in the side. The matchups where it's good it is insanely good, so that's always nice. For now, one will suffice since I've actually got to get my hands on one. Keeping my black land count at 13 means I can't play Hero's Downfall, though, but I think Dreadbore is definitely good enough to play 3 of anyway.
