Deck overview

This deck is a Dimir Rogue tribal build led by Anowon, the Ruin Thief. The primary strategy focuses on deploying low-cost, evasive Rogues early to establish consistent combat pressure. Once Anowon, the Ruin Thief enters the battlefield, combat damage triggers mill effects on opponents, which turn into card advantage whenever creature cards are milled. The deck converts filled opposing graveyards into game-ending threats using scaling beaters like Consuming Aberration and Nighthawk Scavenger, graveyard theft via Sepulchral Primordial, and direct life drain through Syr Konrad, the Grim. High-impact spells such as Notorious Throng generate explosive Faerie Rogue swarms and grant extra combat phases to close out the game. The deck features functional interaction and light taxing through Opposition Agent and Propaganda, maintaining an agile tempo game plan that balances chip damage, library attrition, and sudden wide board states.
