Deck overview

Anowon, the Ruin Thief leads a Dimir Rogue tribal deck built around a swarm of unblockable Rogues. The core loop is simple: play evasive Rogues, swing in, and let Anowon's combat trigger mill opponents while drawing you a card whenever a creature card hits the graveyard. That mill feeds a suite of graveyard synergies - threshold payoffs like Expedition Lookout and Soaring Thought-Thief, theft via Dauthi Voidwalker and Nautiloid Ship, and recursion like Back for Seconds. The deck's fastest and most decisive win is the compact infinite loop of Mindcrank + Bloodchief Ascension, which mills every opponent out once Bloodchief has three quest counters. Secondary paths are combat beats amplified by lords (Silver-Fur Master, Oona's Blackguard, Stinkdrinker Bandit) and anthems (Banner of Kinship, Obelisk of Urd), plus a prowl-cast Notorious Throng for an extra-turn finisher.
