Deck overview

This Dimir deck leverages Etrata, the Silencer alongside nonlegendary clone effects and unblockable saboteur creatures. The early game focuses on deploying evasive 1- and 2-drops such as Changeling Outcast and Dauthi Voidwalker to fuel coastal piracy draw engines like Bident of Thassa and Enduring Curiosity. Once card flow is established, the deck resolves Etrata and circumvents her self-shuffle restriction using copy spells like Spark Double, Sakashima of a Thousand Faces, Helm of the Host, and Nanogene Conversion. These cards multiply Etrata's combat triggers to exile opposing creatures with hit counters, leading to sudden player eliminations. The deck backs up this strategy with dense equipment-based protection, targeted removal, and Cyclonic Rift as an asymmetric reset. If Etrata is kept offline, secondary win conditions like Psychosis Crawler and Rise of the Dark Realms convert mass card advantage into a game-ending advantage.
