This deck has gone through a lot of colour changes, we finally land ourselves at Dimir, and soon to be Grixis once I have collected all the cards in my side board.

The idea of this deck is to try to control your opponents board whilst transmute tutoring the parts of the combo your missing.

Infinite Mana: Nether Traitorx2, Basal Sliver, Hivestone

Once you have these parts out on the board, strike anyone of the sorceries and BOOM, that's GG.

Special shout out to Femme_Fatale for helping get to the bottom of hopefully getting this combo to work more consistently, need to take it to playtest stage now.

Any further suggestions are always welcome.

To make this deck really budget, run 4x Duress instead of 4x Thoughtseize, and 4x Go for the Throat or Doomblade instead of 4x Hero's Downfall.
