This is something I have put together for the new format. It is an upgraded version of my standard Dimir deck with the addition of a few cards from a casual pox deck I have been putting together.

The game plan is to attack the hand with Thoughtseize and Thought Erasure which in turn fuels Drown in the Loch and set up shreiking affliction. The reason why I have kept much of the standard shell is to use the surveil mechanic to help pay for the delve cost of Treasure Cruise and Dig Through Time .
