Deck overview

This Dimir control deck utilizes Xanathar, Guild Kingpin at the helm of a theft and Rogue tempo strategy. The game plan focuses on deploying disruptive early creatures such as Dauthi Voidwalker, Opposition Agent, and Notion Thief to deny opponents vital resources like graveyard access, library searches, and extra card draw. Mid-game acceleration from mana rocks and Treasure generators like Grim Hireling enables the deployment of Xanathar, Guild Kingpin on Turn 5. Starting on Turn 6 upkeep, Xanathar silences the leading opponent during your turns while allowing you to cast their topdeck cards using any color of mana. The deck wins by turning opponents' win conditions against them, draining life with Brainstealer Dragon, and swarming the table with Notorious Throng or Rise of the Dark Realms. A deep suite of counterspells and removal provides strong defensive coverage throughout the match.
