Dimir Burn Heavy focus on instants/sorceries

Every burn deck has the problem of running out of steam at some point. Solution? Tasha spellthiefery. Instead of a top-down deck style with a bunch of spellthief cards to support Tasha, this is a bottom-up deck construction where Tasha is there to support the burn/spellslinger mechanic.

This is a bit of a tempo deck that requires some set up and it will play differently depending on what phase of the game you are in (early game, mid game, late game).

You shouldn't need to bring out your commander until late game. Make sure not to pop-off early and aquire aggro from other players.

Picture this scenario:

You have Tasha, the Witch Queen on the field and she had already used her +1 ability a previous turn. You also have Swarm Intelligence on the battfield. In your hand you have Diluvian Primordial and Tendrils of Agony. And you have a way to pay for 11 mana.

You play Diluvian Primordial, then play 1 card per opponent, let's assume 3. Because of Swarm Intelligence, each one is copied, making a total of 6 spells. Then you use Tasha's -3 ability to play another opponents spell. Swarm Intelligence copies that one too, for a total of 8 spells. You create eight 3/3 demons with Tasha' passive ability. Then you cast Tendrils of Agony. With the storm ability, that makes -16 life loss. But then Swarm Intelligence activates again, this time doing -18 life loss. That's a total of -34 life loss to a single player, not including attacking with any creatures or damage dealt from casting opponents spells.

If you happen to have Rona, Sheoldred's Faithful or Sedgemoor Witch, then that's an additional -10 life loss for each opponent and/or +10 creature tokens.
