Basic dimir control deck that is absolutely brutal against creature heavy decks. Loving how its works, totally consistent, although I've never one by milling someone out with Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver. The win cons are fairly simple: blow shit up and counter everything until you can bring out an AEtherling or Desecration Demon and swing for massive damage. There's always the option of stealing other people's win cons too. The only cards I'm missing to make it even more solid are Ratchet Bomb , Cyclonic Rift , and Jace, Architect of Thought. At some point the guildgates will be removed for 1 more scry land and 3 shocklands, but getting all the cards at once has been slightly more difficult than previously imagined. I hope to put white and make it an Esper control deck, my favorite 3 color playstyle. That will be the most expensive part and might just stay Dimir if it works well in upcoming tournaments. The current sideboard is geared to fight against certain people at the local card shop I go to, but if you guys have any suggestions they are definitely welcomecontrol
