Deck overview

This deck is a Dimir Big-Mana strategy helmed by Marvo, Deep Operative. The primary game plan revolves around manipulating the top card of the library using tools like Sensei's Divining Top, Scroll Rack, and Brainstorm to guarantee winning clashes when Marvo attacks. Winning a clash allows the pilot to draw a card and cast a spell with mana value 8 or less for free from hand. This enables the deck to cheat devastating game-ending threats into play as early as Turn 4 or 5, including Toxrill, the Corrosive, Archon of Cruelty, Bolas's Citadel, and Ancient Silver Dragon. The deck subsequently duplicates these monstrous permanents using nonlegendary clone effects like Auton Soldier and Multiversal Incursion, crushing opposing creature boards and rapidly closing the game through evasive combat damage and overwhelming asymmetric attrition.
