This deck is based mostly on MegaMogwai's Lochmere Dimir deck, where Lochmere Serpent is the main win condition and a lot of control based around that card. Early game scry with Overwhelmed Apprentice / Witching Well can let you fix an opening hand, and mill with Overwhelmed Apprentice / Merfolk Secretkeeper can let you set up for Drown in the Loch . Turn two ushers in your early control such as Drown in the Loch and Thought Erasure . After this, your three drop spot has a lot of value with Thief of Sanity and Murderous Rider , the first 3 turns for this deck are crucial to set up board control for your bombs in the late game. As the game continues, Drown in the Loch even as a two-drop will almost always have value, and God-Eternal Kefnet and Lochmere Serpent are your two bombs that get you rolling to victory. If you get to enough crazy late game you most likely just mill your opponent.

In the sideboard you have Duress if you are against control, Grafdigger's Cage if they are using your mill to their advantage (such as with Dreadhorde Arcanist or Feasting Troll King ), Legion's End is perfect for Token/ Field of the Dead decks, Ritual of Soot when you are against aggro, Mystical Dispute is perfect for Simic Flash, Teferi's, or anything blue that is annoying, Noxious Grasp since Green is everywhere now, and Unmoored Ego can be very powerful in the current meta since a lot of decks rely on a single card ( Field of the Dead or Fires of Invention ).

I have experimented with a lot of different cards, so this list is not final. Additions that I have worked with and were kind of eh were Vantress Gargoyle , Witch's Vengeance for the Sideboard, and Foulmire Knight .
