Deck overview

This deck is a Dimir Mill and Reanimation strategy helmed by Taskmaster, Mercenary Mimic. The game plan focuses on filling all graveyards through steady mill engines such as Mesmeric Orb, Ruin Crab, and Buried Alive. Once graveyards contain high-value creatures, Taskmaster mimics the most dangerous threats on the table or in graveyards without paying their original casting costs. Supported by standalone powerhouses like Breach the Multiverse, Ancient Brass Dragon, and Sheoldred, the Apocalypse, the deck converts milled resources into overwhelming board states. An efficient suite of interaction, including Fierce Guardianship, Deadly Rollick, and Cyclonic Rift, protects key setup turns and disrupts faster opponents. The deck wins by attacking with massive evasive boards or draining the table with Syr Konrad, the Grim and Mindcrank.
