Huh. I'm pretty sure I played this deck on MWS earlier today..
The cycling/Crypt synergy is rather amusing to watch. The biggest problem I see is no finisher really... or anything to really keep the deck in a race. I understand with the banefire, but it's just not enough. think about more reanimator spells maybe? A huge grixis fattie to use that mana with -- think big.
This deck is clearly casual, so I'd go with one of my personal favorites, Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker. He rules if you can ever get him to stick. Thraximundar is a hilarously fun casual card.
Think fatties. You need to spend the crypt mana on something. |

| This deck seems reallllyyy slow, not sure you could hold off aggro long enough without Days of Judgement... maybe Sleep would help? If you had a couple more fetch lands in there Grim Discovery would be great in this deck. |

why not go monoblack and max out on black life gain?
tendrils of corruption and consume spirit.
Im pretty sure there are no real ways for this deck in any build to beat a turn 1 creature. |

That's why you run red...lightning bolt...kills turn 1 and gives range |

| I would definately play Burning Inquiry, slows down your oppo and has higher % chance of getting creatures in ur yard. |

SB: 4 [M10] Pithing Needle (For Relic mostly)
SB: 3 [M10] Duress
Edit: I think this list is better then the one I posted earlier.
32 creatures should be more then enough to fuel Crypt of Agadeem.
Vampire Aristocrat works better then infest. |

Burning Inquiry slows your opponent? How?
Also, please don't derail the thread into mono-B vampires, the OP had in mind a Grixis-type deck, let's stick to it, alright? |

Discarding 3 cards at random can mess up alot of decks. Plus this cost 1 mana to get 3 of ur creatures into the yard. |

Yeah well he kinda also draws 3, which can disrupt a bit, but it's more like a luck-based factor rather than advantage, really.
Same goes for you, instead of creatures, you might discard burn... |
