Dimir Ultron Control
Standard BrawlDeck Strategy
A Blue-Black control deck that uses artifact creatures, discard, and board wipes to overwhelm opponents, embodying the villainous schemer.
Deep-Cavern Bat and Duress remove key cards from the opponent's hand early, while Unstoppable Slasher and Aclazotz, Deepest Betrayal apply lethal pressure. Split Up and Terror Tide clear the board, and spell lands like Mirrex provide extra tokens.
Keep hands with 3-4 lands and early interaction (Cut Down, Duress, or a counterspell). Avoid hands with no early plays or too many lands. A hand with Deep-Cavern Bat is strong.
Early: Use Duress, Deep-Cavern Bat, and cheap removal to disrupt the opponent's game plan. Play a two-drop creature like Spyglass Siren to block. Mid: Wipe the board with Split Up or Terror Tide. Resolve Aclazotz or Unstoppable Slasher to start dealing damage. Late: Use The End or Urgent Necropsy to exile permanent threats. Keep counterspells ready to protect your threats.
Heavy aggro can outrun your early removal if you don't draw it. Enchantment-based exile removal can neuter your key creatures. The deck has limited card advantage, so you must use resources wisely.
