Dimir Final Check by mivanni

Format: Commander

Commander: Taskmaster, Mercenary Mimic

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Dimir reanimator/control deck helmed by Taskmaster, Mercenary Mimic, whose "Photographic Reflexes" copies a creature on the battlefield or in a graveyard each turn. The deck's plan is to fill the graveyard (Buried Alive, Frantic Search, Delirium Skeins), reanimate oversized threats (Ob Nixilis, Unshackled, Consuming Aberration, Archon of Cruelty), and then have Taskmaster copy the best one for a voltron finish. A secondary land-denial package - Opposition, Mana Maze, Pox, Polluted Bonds, Sire of Stagnation - slows opponents' mana development while the deck accrues board advantage. The primary win is combat damage from big reanimated bodies and commander damage from Taskmaster copying Ob Nixilis or Consuming Aberration, backed by a dense removal/counterspell suite.
