Deck overview

This deck is a Dimir reanimator and tempo strategy commanded by Mirko, Obsessive Theorist. The primary plan leverages dense surveil triggers to continuously fill the graveyard, grow Mirko with +1/+1 counters, and cheat high-impact creatures directly into play on each end step. To bypass the drawback of finality counters, the list runs dedicated counter-removal engines like Soul Diviner, Nesting Grounds, and Hexavus, turning one-time reanimations into repeatable value loops. Mass-bounce payoffs such as Thing in the Ice // Awoken Horror, Profaner of the Dead, and Enigma Thief clear opposing battlefields while high-cost Sphinxes and Sepulchral Primordial build overwhelming board presence. While the deck boasts immense grinding power and selective graveyard velocity, it lacks fast mana rocks and universal tutors, operating on a fair mid-game curve that converts steady reanimation into an aerial combat victory by Turn 8.
