This is kind of in the works as of now, trying to balance out the Brain curve with counters. Any help is appreciated!
Basically going to take advantage of Bontu's Last Reckoning and not worry about needing mana too much the next turn, because we have brain in a jar and... hopefully a counter in the chamber on the next turn, in case your opponent has a comeback. Other than that I mean it's a pretty wide open Dimir control deck. I originally thought about making an Esper build with Metallurgic Summonings & Solemnity. Our win condition is obviously Liliana, the Last Hope, Rise from the Tides and The Scarab God.
