Dimir doesn't have any generals that excite me, so I figured I whip up my own and get it OKed by my group. Here to brainstorm. The idea is to go for a general that rewards you for dealing combat damage to opponents. First iteration goes like this:

XXXXXXXXXXXX
1UUB
Legendary Creature - Human Rogue
Hexproof
Whenever a creature you control deals combat damage to a player, you may tap target permanent. That permanent doesn't untap during its controller's next untap step.
2/2

Thats pretty busted. Maybe nonland permanents?

That seems reasonable.

I would change "Hexproof" to "Unblockable" Change "Whenever a creature you control " to "Whenever another creature you control"and like Thesaman said change "permanent" to "non-land permanent"

The way it is right now it gives too big of a advantage with no real weakness, since you said its for a rogue deck most rogues are hexproof/unblockable on their own letting you just hammer opponents. Current wording would get you hated off the table in any of my local play groups.

if you want a dimir general that rewards you for dealing damage to opponents why not just use Sygg, River Cutthroat?

He's just too vanilla. I don't like his flavor at all.
