Deck overview

This deck is a Dimir Rogue tribal and combat attrition strategy led by Jon Irenicus, Shattered One. The game plan revolves around deploying low-cost unblockable creatures such as Slither Blade, Invisible Stalker, and Blighted Agent, then casting Jon on Turn 4 to donate them to opponents with +1/+1 counters and permanent goad. Because the donated creatures cannot be sacrificed and are unblockable, opponents are forced to attack each other, whittling down life totals while triggering Jon's card draw ability on every attack. The deck supports this game plan with proliferate effects, tribal anthems like Door of Destinies, and protective countermagic. In the end game, utility cards like Homeward Path and asymmetric sweepers like Raise the Palisade allow the deck to reclaim its enhanced creatures or clear opposing boards to eliminate the final opponent.
