A Unique Dimir take on the classic prison deck featuring a double edged card to wreck your opponent.
Enchantments
Demonic Pact : This card is insanely powerful and can win games all on its own. It can also lose them on its own and that's why we have several answers to that fourth effect in the forms of Disperse, Crush of Tentacles, and Silumgar's Command .
Jace's Sanctum: This card allows us to cast all of our instants and sorceries for much cheaper earning it a major spot in the deck.
Sorceries
Dark Petition: This allows us to search for answers to Demonic Pact or one of our win-cons when we're ready for it.
Languish: A staple of Black decks and honestly it speaks for itself.
Rise from the Tides: A win-con, play it late game and swing out with a lot of zombies.
Crush of Tentacles: A solid board wipe that clears Demonic Pact and will usually net us an 8/8 Octopus making this a win-con
Infinite Obliteration: This card receives a lot of hate but it is way more powerful than people give it credit for. You can look at your opponent's hand and their deck and remove a pesky creature like Archangel Avacyn or Reflector Mage or anything else. The real power comes from seeing their hand and deck. Look at every card, quickly but make sure you look at everything and you'll be able to control and react better.
Ruinous Path: This card is great removal, hitting planeswalkers and creatures so it's easy to forget that its sorcery speed but its versatility makes it well worth it.
Instants
Anticipate: The best filter spell in standard right now.
Disperse: A great answer to the time clock you put on yourself through Demonic Pact . Or if you have to, a good way to delay an annoying creature.
Engulf the Shore : A phenomenal answer to any creature heavy deck and absolutely devastating to token decks. This is the main reason for having so few black mana and only including Sunken Hollow as a dual land.
Grasp of Darkness: Phenomenal spot kill spell, although the double black can be a bit annoying.
Negate: The best counterspell in standard because so many people are running spell heavy decks.
Silumgar's Command : An answer to Demonic Pact and a wonderful spell in general. Once we get Jace's Sanctum out it just gets even better.
Creatures
Dragonlord Silumgar: He occupies the creature slot for many reasons. He can survive Languish on his own, his ability to not only neutralize but subvert key threats of the opponent is beautiful. Now that pesky Gideon can work for us. Then to top it all off he has flying and deathtouch. We play enough lockdown that the six mana is easy enough to get too and our many bounce spells allow us to switch control of their creatures in the late game.
Planeswalkers
Jace, Unraveler of Secrets: Jace gives us great card filter and his emblem will usually make people concede the match immediately.
Ob Nixilis Reignited: Ob Nix gives us more card draw and not everyone considers him that big of a threat so he's not too difficult to Ultimate
