Dark Times

i love Dark Depths combo, and think it isn't easily stopped by opponents. The biggest problem, as anybody can see from looking at the decklist, is the complete lack of stack interaction. I can proactively interact with my opponent's game plan via Leyline, Needle, Duress, etc., but each of those cards require an experience in and knowledge of the format that is still a bit out of my reach. As such, I've been drawing up a Dimir Depths brew. Here's where I'm at right now, with the help of a friend and local Vintage afficionado:

This vastly increases my ability to protect my own combos as well as halt early wins by other decks that vomit out T1 and T2 kills. I'm basically giving up Needle, Leyline, Duress, and Wasteland for counterspells and dig - which should be a good tradeoff for a combo deck. The shell also lets me slot in a few other combos. It's much more of a "silver bullet" list, but I like the looks of it on paper at least. We'll see how it tests. I
initially began the brewing process with Dig Through Time in mind. I thought it was sweet in a combo-oriented deck to dig 7 deep and choose the 2 that best match your hand and/or the board state. I ended up cutting them, though, because of the inherent tensions with other cards in the list and also because I found that unless you're playing dredge or mono-cantrip.dec your yard isn't filling up fast enough for a T2 or T3 Dig for 2.
Hi, thank you for the information :)
