Wrexial, the Risen Deep is a sneaky powerful general that can usually pull off one of his landwalk abilities thanks to the prevalence of islands and swamps in the format. So far, getting people's best stuff into their graveyard to cast again when I hit them is pretty easy to do and completely awesome.

I play a little more bounce in this deck than maybe I should because black and blue have some issues removing enchantments (Stranglehold can really ruin my day), so getting those back into the owner's hand and forcing them to discard or hitting them with Mindleech Mass has been effective.

Some of the best combo pieces I have played in here are Deadeye Navigator with Rune-Scarred Demon or Chancellor of the Spires or Sepulchral Primordial, then also Traumatize with Keening Stone. Have to be careful with Rhystic Study and Psychosis Crawler - that combo makes me a HUGE target on the table. xD

The deck is semi-budget - my buying and trading power can nab me some decent stuff, but I won't be able to add something like Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth (plenty of people play that anyway, it's just a bonus if it's on the battlefield).

Updates Add

Dimir support in Gatecrash!!!!

Added: Lazav, Dimir Mastermind, my promo Consuming Aberration, Undercity Plague, Duskmantle Guildmage, Dimir Guildgate, and Dimir Keyrune (all from the pre-release, my Dimir deck went 4-1 and was awesome)

Need to add some more of the really nice new spells like Mind Grind & Whispering Madness

I feel like some ppl might push for this deck to become a Lazav deck instead of Wrexial, but I feel like the purpose of this strategy is better if I'm casting the nasty spells my opponent's mill rather than consistently becoming a powerful creature. Lazav is wickedly powerful and its hard to break through his Hexproof, but Wrexial is still the direction I want to play.
