The dark... something stirs..... they awaken with vile intent... scheming at the best possible way... to pilfer and pillage with impunity.
Even Lazav disavows this subsect of Dimir.... If Dimir truly existed of course. He does however acknowledge... they have their uses....
Refining a previous idea... this takes it a step further to a more.. competitive level.
Keeping the CMC cost to bare bones.... this deck job is to find a way to keep a opponent guessing and off balance, while robbing them of their best weapons, and putting them in the best place possible... your board or their graveyard.
Key cards...
Hidden Strings .. Mastercraft Lockpicks .. allows a ton of versatility, for VERY little or no cost. Allows for heroic triggers... then can be eaten by Nivmagus Elemental prior to resolution for 2 counters... if artisan of forms is disguised as a Nivmagus.. He can eat the spell.. shift forms.. still retains the counters as he has never left the battlefield.
Artisan of Forms
... The Confidence Man - wondrous heroic trigger.. shapeshifter of your own choosing.
Agent of the Fates
.. Guild Assassin - also triggered by Hidden Strings... sac sac sac
Nightveil Specter... Silent Burglar .. doubled with Chromatic Lantern.. plays ANYTHING your opponent has to offer after you snatch it.
Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx... The Fence's Warehouse - Lots of devotion going around.... use it!
Rakdos's Return... Arson and Extortion tools - The ultimate in hand strip....Great mana sink for Nykthos
Duskmantle Seer.... Guild Enforcer... Most likely their creatures and spells will do more damage to THEM than they ever will do to you. Works well with Rakdos's Return and
Artisan of Forms
.
Thassa, God of the Sea, .. Heist Mastermind and Heavy Lifter when needed... Scry to take less damage from Duskmantle Seer... Make your guys unblockable... Nightveil Specter and
Nivmagus Elemental
will love you for it... especially with Hidden Strings ciphered on.
Thoughts and ideas are always welcomed...
