Deck overview

This deck is a Dimir Rogue tribal tempo strategy led by Anowon, the Ruin Thief. It deploys low-cost, evasive Rogues during the opening turns, casts Anowon on curve, and generates recurring card advantage and mill through combat damage. As opponents' graveyards fill with milled creature cards, the deck transitions from chip damage to decisive mid-game threats, utilizing graveyard-scaling creatures like Consuming Aberration, high-impact reanimation from Sepulchral Primordial, and token swarms paired with extra turns via Notorious Throng. While the deck maintains consistent card flow and solid combat pressure, its reliance on combat steps, vulnerability to board wipes, and lack of cheap instant-speed protection require careful timing when committing threats to the board.
