You do need to try to gay it up a little more.
You're like the least gay member of this clan.
And that's counting the fact that you voluntarily have sex with men.

I am a control player. All things are easy on account of my great intellect. There is nothing OP about a 1 mana edict or JTMS. They are only playable because I can so easily outthink all opponents. Such is the nature of the Dimir Mage.You were playing innocent blood lol.I was pretty unimpressed by TNN all weekend.

I cut the trinket mage package because it's too slow against the current combo decks and doesn't block TNN; it was my mandatory "pitch to force" card. There has to be a card in the deck that does that, here it is often Stifle; but the Stifle + Wasteland + Crucible + Spell Pierce synergy is just too good I think, so I kept that part of the deck.Anyway, list time. Already posted the Burn list, so here is my latest work of art.

Why play this deck:
- it plays most of the best cards in the format
- you have very difficult to interact with win conditions
- you're a control deck with multiple soft-locks and a nutdraw
- jtms > all
Anyway, notes on the deck.
- mostly geared towards beating UWR/RUG Delver and Sneak and Show. Legacy isn't a big format here so I expected people to play the "best
decks".
- UWR has too many bad cards against you; Daze, Bolt, Swords are all pretty bad and you've got easy and cheap answers to all their good cards, which makes Spell Pierce and Force much worse too. Resolve any 'walker or Crucible and win basically.
- Sneak and Show is basically all in on Sneak Attack as if the Show and Tell in Emrakul you can just untap and edict it and they're a million miles behind. Post board, Pithing Needle of Sneak Attack usually wins.
- Otherwise your matchups are mostly fair. You're a slight dog to Esper Stoneblade because of Lingering Souls; Elves! are tough Game 1 but post board you have a bevy of good cards.
- D&T is a tough matchup, and I included as much hate as I could justify, in case someone were to play it (EE, Damnation x 2, Dark Blast, Dread of Night x 2).
- Never leave home without your Nihil Spellbombs; it wrecks any Tarmogoyf deck, as well as Dredge.
