Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Dimir graveyard deck focuses on self-mill to transform Emet-Selch, Unsundered into Hades, Sorcerer of Eld. Once transformed, Hades allows you to cast cards directly from your graveyard, turning your discard pile into an expansive second hand. Early turns prioritize filling your graveyard through dredge creatures like Stinkweed Imp and efficient mill spells. The primary win condition is emptying your library to win with Laboratory Maniac or Jace, Wielder of Mysteries, accelerated by Doomsday or massive mill engines. Alternatively, you can overwhelm opponents using reanimation bombs like Breach the Multiverse or mass milling with Cut Your Losses.
