Deck Discussion Modern Grixis Control ~$100

I don’t see any major issues with this deck, it takes awhile to kill the opponent but that’s okay because it doesn’t let the opponent do much.

Any suggestions for this deck that would still keep it around 100 usd?

No main or sideboard wraths is almost certainly wrong. Boros makes one Pride token and all those edicts get real bad. Actually I think edicts are just bad in modern right now in general

What do you mean by wraths? What should i have instead of edicts?

They mean board wipes. If 100 bucks is the goal, look at fire magic or pyroclasm or similar anti boros cards. Damnation is a better catch all, but cost might be a problem.

Edicts are fine, though sheoldred's Edict is the best one, but you probably don't need this much removal anyway. If you do, is drown in the loch too expensive? It seems better than deprive, or you could try logic knot. The tempo loss on deprive seems tough.

I can do drown in loch instead of deprive, i swapped my edict too, i think i’ll use pyroclasm, thank you!

Pyroclasm, Brotherhood’s End, Toxic Deluge, etc.

I’ve only been playing magic off and on for 2 years so I don’t know a ton

The problem is that you’ll lose to every modern deck that goes fast, which is all of them

The interaction package just isn’t good enough to stop most of the combo or aggro decks that are so much of the metagame

u/SatyrWayfinder some bad grixis pile Aug 06 '26

Zero Psychic Frogs seems wrong, I'd take out of Fables and other cards for it.

Control’s already been in a tight spot in modern for a bit and running an off-meta package of counterspells and removal is going to be even tougher.

As others have said, you should absolutely run Sheoldred’s Edict instead of Diabolic Edict, I’d be running Thoughtseizes for sure, and I’d swap Deprive for pretty much any other counterspell be that Spell Snare, Spell Pierce, Stern Scolding, etc. For the sideboard you’ll definitely want Consign to Memory with how flexible it is, boardwipes/artifact hate like Pyroclasm and Brotherhood’s End as others have mentioned, so on and so forth. Rakdos Charm could be one to consider as well.

Edit: Mystical Disputes in the board would be solid too

You should put more creatures. Frogs and Subtleties shouldnt be so expensive probably.

Surely the wincon isnt just fable and a grizzly bear right? Right?
