Deck overview

This deck is a Dimir control strategy built around Toxrill, the Corrosive. The early game focuses on deploying cheap deathtouch blockers such as Hired Poisoner and Squirrelanoids alongside two-mana mana rocks to stall opposing aggression and fix mana. Tutors like Demonic Tutor and Vampiric Tutor ensure smooth development into the mid-game. On Turn 5, casting Toxrill establishes an oppressive asymmetric engine that places slime counters at every player's end step. This shrinks opposing boards by -4/-4 per turn cycle, generating an army of 1/1 Slug tokens and converting dead creatures into card advantage. The deck seals victory through relentless combat damage with Toxrill and Slugs, augmented by Massacre Wurm death triggers, Gray Merchant of Asphodel devotion drains, and reanimation with Grave Betrayal. High-efficiency counterspells and removal protect the lock until all opponents are eliminated.
