I also think that you could cut Venarian Gold and Merseine; I think they're overcosted when you could use something like Ice Over or Singing Bell Strike for the same effect.

You might consider Cave of Temptation. I also had quite a few cantrips in my deck that give flying/shadow/unblockable as a way to quickly Proliferate, get evasion, and dig through my deck.

And the Ice Over didn't see that one, AER and KLD also rotated!

Right now, Alligence, Guilds, Core Set 2019, Dominaria, Rivals, and Ixilan are standard I belive.

Hi there, I'm from the advertise your commander thread.

I used to have a Nin, the Pain Artist deck based on stealing and copying your opponents stuff. I always liked to win using your opponents cards, so its nice to see a deck with a similar theme.

I think your current build has a lot of room for optimization as there are many cards that have strictly or subjectively better counterparts. These are some suggestions for cards I would replace and what with:

Suggestions Show

Drown in Sorrow => Languish (Non budget: Damnation/Toxic Deluge)

Pathway Arrows => Thornbite Staff

Cancel => Forbid/Negate/Disallow/Disdainful Stroke/Mana Leak/Sinister Sabotage/Supreme Will/Dissolve

Devious Cover-Up/Unwind/Overwhelming Denial => Rewind (Non budget: Cryptic Command)

Vapor Snag => Capsize

Dispel => Swan Song/Negate (Non budget: Glen Elendra Archmage)

Ice Over => Imprisoned in the Moon/Reality Shift/Curse of the Swine

Raise Dead => Animate Dead/Reanimate

Fleetfeather Sandals => Lightning Greaves/Swiftfoot Boots

Manalith/Spectral Searchlight => Dimir Signet/Talisman of Dominance/Mind Stone/Darksteel Ingot

Mind Control => Control Magic/Corrupted Conscience (Non budget: Treachery)

Dismal Backwater etc. => Underground River/Command Tower/Exotic Orchard/Temple of Deceit (Non budget: Watery Grave/City of Brass/Mana Confluence/Polluted Delta & other fetch lands)

Bad River/Evolving Wilds => Esper Panorama/Grixis Panorama

Other cards that fit the theme of the deck: Clone, Stunt Double, Phyrexian Metamorph, Clever Impersonator, Roil Elemental, Vesuvan Doppelganger, Cackling Counterpart & Rite of Replication (Non budget: Bribery & Gilded Drake)

Two cards I would add to almost every dimir deck: Sudden Spoiling & Cyclonic Rift

I would probably drop the flicker subtheme you currently have because you dont run a lot of creatures and go down a few lands (37 should be fine) in favor of more draw (Rhystic Study & Mystic Remora are nice). Also, one of the good things about black is the access to tutors. By adding tutors you increase the consistency of your deck, as they effectively serve as an extra copy of all the other cards in your deck. Lim-Dul's Vault, Beseech the Queen and Dark Petition are some good relatively cheap ones. (If you want to invest a bit of money in it, Demonic Tutor and Vampiric Tutor are great.)

I hope this helps and good luck with deckbuilding!

PS. Dont forget to comment on the previously posted deck in the 'advertise your commander deck' thread. ;)

Sideboards are where you put your more narrow answers that might be good against a few decks.

Aethersphere Harvester against aggro

Sleep Against tokens

Also it could be handy to have different removal like:

Deep Freeze, Ice Over, Expel from Orazca, Select for Inspection, or Spell Pierce.

Good luck

that make sense. Ice Over is cheap, but they still get one attack with it. Waterknot will probably be my go to. It also has the added benefit of not rotating out of standard in 6 months. My friend runs 3 flyers that always see play- he likes to buff them to high heaven and keep swinging, with Waterknot I could cut him off before the damage even started.

For flying defense, I'd suggest either semi-creature removal in Waterknot or Castaway's Despair. You could also get Merfolk flyers in Wind Strider or Shaper Apprentice. But TBH, there aren't many strong flyers in Standard right now so I don't think that you need flyers or flyer defense. This is why I only have 3 flyers in my Simic Standard Merfolk V 2.0. As an afterthought, you should take Ice Over away because it doesn't tap the enchanted permanent when it ETBs.

How often does this actually go off? Seems pretty fun either way, though.

You might want to try Supreme Will - it's in your colours and doubles up as a counter and a finder, both things you're already doing. I'd also recommend Aether Meltdown over Ice Over - basically the same thing in the early-mid game, but one has Flash.
