Significantly changed since the past version.

Censor is not enough to keep up with bomb permanents that make being a dimir deck hard - sure it makes it for t3feri, but random anti-control bombs like scales' dreadhorde invasion can just stomp you anyway if you rely on it. Instead decided to pivot to 4 thoughtseize in the main. The life loss hurts but I can live. Drown is now from 0 to 4. Not only does thoughtseize set it up, but it also is an excellent flip off kefnet as a modal counterspell. Dead in no matchups and aggressively good against most of the meta, I really wish thought scour was legal but even like this the card is amazing. 1 Erebos' is kinda nice, a findable lifegain option is great in certain matchups, its dead against nothing (even agaisnt control you can destroy their entire graveyard and turn off dig or something), its at its worst a 3 mana moment of craving against aggro, which is fine. 2 Ritual over languish because bad card bad. 1 Ashiok is a good finisher that is also 1 above my curve, they can also out walkers and enchantments against decks where I struggle against those.

Things I cut: Abandoned the focus on the narset lock plan. As much as I adore it, geier is indeed legendary, and commit is indeed a bad card. Went to 1 on both and 2 narset, an amount that is more balanced on all counts. Censor is at 2 now, where its more comfortable, the card gets to be really really dead later on. Enter the God Eternals was amazing on flavor, but the main reason I thought it was so good against aggro was that big red was the big deck when I was testing. If big red makes it there again I might play this card again - it definitely does the thing against them - but I don't really like it against more current aggro decks like monowhite, monoblack and scales.
