Deck overview

This Dimir control deck leverages tap and untap synergies to generate card advantage, control the battlefield, and assemble a decisive combo finish. Commanded by Skeleton Ship, the deck uses untappers like Ioreth of the Healing House, Forensic Researcher, and Marvin, Murderous Mimic to multiply the value of activated abilities on cards like Vohar, Vodalian Desecrator, Jace's Archivist, and King Macar, the Gold-Cursed. Robust countermagic and removal protect the board while card filtering digs toward the primary win condition: equipping Illusionist's Bracers onto an untapper alongside a second untapper to produce infinite mana and infinite untaps. This infinite mana is converted into a same-turn table kill via Stroke of Genius or Finale of Revelation, drawing the deck to force lethal draws with Jace's Archivist or drain life with Tinybones, Pocket Nuisance. Backup plans utilize Bone Miser with wheel effects to flood the board with Zombie tokens and overpower opponents through attrition.
