Deep below your very feet,
Lies a world full of deceit.
Ruled by a vampire smarter than all,
To his feet the world shall fall.
Secret thieves and killers abound,
Reaping your soul without a sound.
You'll be dead before even knowing they're near,
It's the powerhouse control guild Dimir.
(Thanks to MasterBeeble for the awesome lyrics!!)
Leaders: Exalted Urza - Leader Of The House Dimir Surging_Chaos -Second in Charge of The House Dimir
1. You must have 50 or more posts. This is to keep new people from wanting to be in the guild and then leave the site.
2. YOU MUST REMAIN AN ACTIVE MEMBER!!! By "active" we mean normally discussing amongst ourselves in our threads. If you start to become inactive, we will move you to the Dungeon and no longer be a member.
3. Do NOT post in our threads requesting to be in House Dimir. We will ignore your request. PM Exalted Urza or myself if you want to join, but please, not here.
Members: Expect MORE changes as I update the first post.
Eah eah Oh oh!!! New thread... with a more "active" leader. Congrats SC.
For the song lyrics, at the end it would sound better if it was "house dimir" instead of "guild dimir". Check with the Beeble if that would be alright.

I don't think so...because you read it
"control guild, Dimir"....so "control house, Dimir" doesn't sound all that good to me. If you guys DO want to change it feel free to. I just think it sounds better the way it is.

Then you should probably add the comma if thats the way you say it

I'll bet you wish you had a non-unglued/unhinged card that shared your first name.
Hey guys! Cool thread title SC! OMG, did you see the Coldsnap announcement?!?! Looks damn cool! They say:
Quote from WotC »
From the frozen vaults deep below Wizards of the Coast, Coldsnap, the legendary Lost Third Set of the Ice Age Block is coming out at last. It's not part of Ravnica Block, it's not part of the block after that. But -- get this -- it will be tournament-legal!
Intrigued? Tune back in on Wednesday, when Randy Buehler will explain all!
Does this mean Coldsnap will be t2 legal? That would be great.
@ Xander: Exalted Urza already came up with "The Dungeon", so I just copied it over as it seemed like a great idea.
@ Azerael: I've always been intrigued by Ice Age and Alliances, so Coldsnap will hopefully be a great set. 8^)
I would also like to add that the Dimir's presence has possessed a lot of people where I live. The only big difference is that they play mill and I don't (it can be done), and I smash nearly any pink weenie decks that come up. Rock is starting to gain momentum as well, and the matchup is about 50/50. Gifts is non-existant and if it did exist, the deck completely dies to Shadow of Doubt. It simply gets mana screwed when SoD hits Tribe-Elder and Reach, making them hapless against a Moroii or a Kagemaro.
"If I do go to heaven, I'll smack god across the face and tell him to get me a grilled-cheeses sandwhich and then say 'Yea what now god!? Say some'in! I dare you!' "
Haha poor bore-us can;t come up with a witty title!!!
@ SC; Indeed Gift is totally screwed against us!!! Using my $55 credit, I completed my sideboard and SoD is in it. I also have Dream leash to deal with pesky Grave-Shell Scarabs as well as Hideous laughter and Kagemaro for Pink weenie.
@Coldsnap: I am looking forward to this set more than any other!!! If it follows Ice age and alliances, Blue will kick @$$!!!. Man I hope for something like FoW.
@ purpled: I don't think Dream Leash is a great way to dispatch a Scarab. They just have to leave 1 open and it's nigh untouchable... >_<
Doppleganger will take care of the pesky thing though, but you still have to time it correctly.
Belltower Sphinx could also merit a couple of slots for mill decks. A 2/5 flyer that blocks Scarab, Hierarch, and makes people mill themselves deserves 2 or 3 places in the maindeck.
The best thing to do, IMO, is to simply Extract Scarab and it's out of your way.

Very good ideas. Belltower shpinx will work nicely. I got 2(?) in my Dimir Pre-con. It's very strong once you add GTU and Doppelganger. I got myself a traumatize as well (see my new sig!!!).
Hey, check out my thread about the UB Slicer Control. If you have Slicer out and simply last gasp him after they dredge back the Scarab, you could actually use Doppelganger or something to get rid of him. With UB Control it REALLY isn't that hard I don't think.
Also, still looking for criticism on it. I don't think anyone else has played it so noone has anything to say about it. Feel free to post ideas and comments in that thread. I'd like to keep it alive!
It's a really solid build, but I think it would have soe difficulties with 1) Large creatures and 2)Direct Damage (Lightning Helix). With all that discard remand would be a great choice. dimir doppelganger, A "glasskite" and Rend flesh/Dark Banishing might be a good sideboard choices. Other than that, It looks very solid.
Dissapointed to see the lack of Dimir presence. O well, there are other Kick arse U/B cards!!!
I like the whole Dimir IDEA for deck building, but for constructed Type 2, you won't be able to put a lot of the cards together. The mill decks are still struggling their way up the field and UB aggro control is only slowed by the likes of Guildmage, Lurking Informant and the likes. I still think UB is going to be IT for the new Metagame though. There are so many good aggro control builds that can keep up with everything else.
@ MasterBeeble: I posted some constructive criticism in your 'Slicer-Control thread. I actually think Mindslicer is a great idea for my control deck! (thanks! )
Hey all, been watchin u guys post, not much to say.... just wondering about the thing.. u know... um.. the thing that Xander did, is it going ok? sry brain dead now even tho its only 9:33 EDT. well, peace.

Yeah, I think B/U is going to take off soon as soon as there are some more "aggressive" U/B control decks, but i still would like there be some way to break mill. *goes to ponder over collection in frustration:banghead: *
@Azerael no clue either. :tongue2:

@ binary cypher: Indeed there is not good way to beat mill. As Dimir we must 1) out-mill them or 2) Control them. Using cards that make them discard or using counters to negate their milling, that's the only way we stand a chance. Fortunately, I haven't encountered a mill deck yet, but I don't look forward to going against one. Anybody else have sideboard ideas?
He doesn't mean beat, he means break...like make it a powerful winner...broken. Like, Tooth and Nail was broken, couldn't be handled. Because I'm sorry, but I haven't seen a mill deck consistent enough to plow the field as of yet. I think UB Aggro Control is the way to go.
