You'll be waiting until turn 3 until this deck gets going, and if you run into Flood of Tears, this deck is sunk. You only have 5 two mana cost cards, and chances are if you have Thought Erasure, you'll have to use it early to slow other decks down. Ritual and Cry won't do too much against Throne aggro decks, and you'll be on the downside if someone boards removal for Fires. Drawn from Dreams doesn't add too much, leaving Narset to do the heavy work. I like the initial idea though!

i find the 2x cry on top of 3x ritual of soot is too much, and we often end up with dead cards in our hard. Don't have to worry about finding boardwipes as often with narset and drawn from dreams. I'd replace the cries with with Bedevil, as we have no mainboard way to deal with something like an early oko or pridemate or something else that gets out of control too fast. Overall I like your list alot, and have based my own off it <3

I added a few cards because i didn't have enough duplicates as required by this deck. Like the lands, i replaced some with the much cheaper bloodfell caves and dismal backwater. I only used less than 3 of each island/mountain/swamp, because the rest of the land cards are already multi colored, so didn't need that many. i sadly only have 1 fabled passage.... is this an urgent card to spend the gold cards for?
I also added in flood of tears, widespread brutality, chemister's insight, elderspell.

I chose this deck for the Play any Deck Standard event, and I must say the number of times I go from losing 20 - 8 to my opponent conceding within the next three turns is quite enjoyable. This happens nearly every game btw. This is a powerful deck that even when you are down, you're still winning 90% of the time.

This deck is amazing, the flow and the style is great. Are you eventually going to make a sideboard? I’ve been wanting to making this deck in person tournaments. The only issues I’ve had is against big green decks because they have 5/6 and they cost 4 so the board wipe doesn’t clear it. :( Great job tho!

Fantastic deck. Got all the way from Platinum 4 to Diamond in like one sitting. Excellent build. Finally a Grixis deck that has great flow and mana base...

About mana recommendations

These are general recommendations for a 60 card deck.

Lands	CMC	Description
18	0.48-0.80	Low Curve Deck - You need 1 or 2 lands to function and have no 3-drops in the deck
19-20	0.80-1.44	Low Curve Deck - You need 2 lands on turn 2 but would like 3 lands on turn 3 for some 3-drops
21-22	1.44-2.08	Aggro Deck - You need 2 lands on turn 2 every game and 3 lands on turn 3 for several 3-drops
23	2.08-2.40	Aggro Deck - You need 3 lands on turn 3 in most games. 4 lands by turn 4 is nice but not necessary
24	2.40-2.72	Midrange Deck - You need 3 lands on turn 3 in most games. 4 lands by turn 4 is nice but not necessary
25	2.72-3.04	Midrange Deck - You need 3 lands on turn 3 in most games. 4 lands by turn 4 often
26	3.04-3.36	Control Deck - You need the 3rd land drop to function and want to hit your 4th land often
27	3.36-3.68	Control Deck - You need the 4th land drop to function and want to hit your 5th land often
