Deck overview

This Dimir list is a dedicated graveyard and reanimator deck built around Araumi of the Dead Tide. The primary strategy accelerates through early self-mill (Mesmeric Orb, Stitcher's Supplier, Ripples of Undeath) and targeted graveyard tutors (Entomb, Buried Alive) to assemble a stocked graveyard. Once Araumi is operational on Turn 4, she grants encore to high-impact creatures. On Turn 5, encoring Gray Merchant of Asphodel drains 21 life from each opponent in a single swing, putting the entire table on a 1-cycle clock before a Turn 6 finisher closes the game. The deck also features asymmetric attrition lines via Vindictive Lich and Archon of Cruelty, backed by a comprehensive Dimir interaction package and an independent reanimation suite that functions smoothly even without the commander.
