Deck overview

This deck is a Dimir Bad Gifts and Forced Combat strategy commanded by Jon Irenicus, Shattered One. The game plan deploys aggressive, cheap creatures with severe self-inflicted drawbacks—such as Steel Golem, Archfiend of the Dross, and Demonic Taskmaster—and donates them to opponents on the end step. Under Jon's influence, these creatures gain +1/+1 counters, become permanently goaded, and cannot be sacrificed. This turns opposing boards into self-destructive weapons while shielding the pilot behind forced combat and tax effects like Propaganda. As opponents battle each other, Jon's secondary ability generates continuous card advantage, drawing extra cards each time gifted creatures attack. The deck maintains control using cheap counterspells and targeted removal, grinding opponents down before securing a win in the final 1v1 duel against a depleted survivor.
