Deck Notes
Nothing to see here, just a Dimir deck doing Dimir things. This is Blue/Black control honed to a razor’s edge, with most of the wincons in the deck being completely unavoidable. After all, how do you stop a deck that floods your hand, punishes you for it, then counters all your attempts to gain a foothold. Please don’t mistake my tone for distaste; I LOVE what this deck can do. I’ve just been on the receiving end of one too many, “In response…” conversations.
