Deck overview

This Dimir control deck utilizes tap and untap synergies to control the board and assemble game-ending infinite loops. Led by Skeleton Ship, the deck leverages creatures with activated untap abilities, such as Aphetto Alchemist, Vizier of Tumbling Sands, and Kelpie Guide, alongside doubling and untapping enablers like Illusionist's Bracers, Freed from the Real, and Pemmin's Aura. The early game focuses on deploying mana acceleration and utilizing looters like Vohar, Vodalian Desecrator to smooth draws, while defensive enchantments such as Propaganda and Collective Restraint hold back aggressive combat decks. A dense suite of six Transmute tutors provides targeted access to every combo component. Once Aphetto Alchemist and Illusionist's Bracers are united with a mana rock, the deck generates infinite mana and unlimited untaps, drawing its entire library and repeatedly casting Blue Sun's Zenith to force all three opponents to draw their entire libraries in a single turn.
