This deck seeks to win by milling out your opponents! We use the commander because he hits all opponents (instead of just 1), so it scales regardless of your playgroup size!

This is the updated version as of 13-Sept-2020 (after Double masters print). Original version is here PDH-Are my creatures vanishing or is it your deck?

I have since stopped using this deck, because I have changed to dimir, which is more consistent with tutors and removal.

Wincon combo (Infinite)

Archaeomancer + Displace + Peregrine Drake

Tried-and-tested infinite mana combo.

Redundancy for Archaeomancer in Scrivener,Mnemonic Wall,Salvager of Secrets

Redundancy for Displace in Ghostly Flicker

After generating infinite mana, you can use Archaeomancer + Displace + Manic Scribe which will mill out all your opponents, effectively killing them on their draw step.

Delirium

Our commander's second ability also mills the table, so we need self-discard cards to make this happen.

For this reason, I have added in more searchlands like Terramorphic Expanse which help thin the deck and activate delirium.

We are aiming for Instant, Sorcery, Creature, Land as the 4 different card types for delirium, although we have a smidgen of Artifacts and Enchantments in the deck that may help out in the oft chance that you do not hit the primary 4 types first.

Removal

Other than the typical counterspells/ bounce, we have

2-sided bounce

This can help to bounce threats while bouncing our own creatures to abuse the ETB effects

• Withdraw

• Run Away Together

• Curfew

• String of Disappearances

Commander shutdown

Deep Freeze

Removal is different that most ways. Since we are dealing with milling strategies, we eschew traditional bounce/tapdown mechanics in favor of putting things on the top of the library, then milling it away.

• Whisk Away
• Griptide
• Repel
• Temporal Eddy
• Run Aground
• Totally Lost
• Vedalken Dismisser
