Standard Deck Tech - Dimir Control - MTG Arena

Welcome all to my weekly MTG Arena Video series! Each Monday and Friday I’ll have a new video ready to watch!

We're back today with a new Standard season and it's time to try out some sweet new decks. Today I'll be playing a Dimir Control deck. The goal of the deck is to hold off your opponents' threats in the early game through removal and counterspells before you can win the game with your finishers. These finishers include Iymrith, Desert Doom, Xanathar, Guild Kingpin, and Hall of Storm Giants. With twenty-four removal spells, card advantage spells, and counterspells, it'll be tough for your opponent to keep a presence on the battlefield. There are also a total of six sweepers in the deck with and The Meathook Massacre, making it hard for your opponent to keep multiple creatures on the battlefield.
