Deck overview

This is a Dimir +1/+1 counter and artifacts synergy deck helmed by Grimgrin, Corpse-Born. The primary game plan revolves using Grimgrin as a repeatable sacrifice outlet to untap, grow, and attack, while generating a board of tokens and artifact creatures from cards like Bitterblossom, Chittering Witch, Sai, Master Thopterist, and animation effects like Biotransference. The deck packs many ways to manipulate counters - Animation Module, The Ozolith, Donatello, Mutant Mechanic, Fate Transfer - and can gradually overwhelm opponents through combat (often with a huge Grimgrin equipped with Shadowspear) or through drain effects like The Meathook Massacre. It leans heavily on artifact permanents (~66% of nonland cards), which gives it powerful synergy but also a glaring vulnerability to artifact wipes.
