Why be flying when you can be unblockable?

The main strenghts of the deck are unblockable creatures, massive draw power and control.

I personally really like the flavor/lore of this deck and I'm happy I've never played against anything like it, it's almost as annoying as an control deck.

Wincon and combos:

Creatures:

• Vela the Night-Clad boosts all of your creatures and has the potential to give them all unblockable. If you often play against other Dimir-decks, you can consider changing her with Lazav, Dimir Mastermind for more control. A kicked Rite of Replication will make Vela's ability deal 30 damage to each opponent. You sacrifice the 5 tokens to the legend-rule, and all 6 copies of Vela register the tokens die, so 6 x 5 = 30. Thank you DiamondFlavor for noticing!

• Sun Quan, Lord of Wu works just like Vela, arguably even better in some cases. He gives all your creatures unblockable.

• Make sure to have the right mana open and AEtherling can be a real wincon.

• Phyrexian Obliterator is a great shield. Leave him untapped for blocking power 4 and below creatures.

• All the unblockable creatures can secure a bit more slow win as well:)

Ninjas:

The trick is to combine the Ninjutsu ability with the unblockable creatures!

• Higure, the Still Wind makes you tutor the Ninja you need, read below:

Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni, Mistblade Shinobi , Sakashima's Student , Throat Slitter , Silent-Blade Oni and Walker of Secret Ways (Makes you reuse the Ninjas Ninjutsu).

Infect:

• Blighted Agent, Suq'Ata Assassin , Inkmoth Nexus, Phyrexian Crusader, Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon and Phyresis can win the game themself, otherwise combine them with Hatred and you are secured a win.

Control:

• Take out the right enemy creatures with Doom Blade/Go for the Throat/ Malicious Affliction /Hero's Downfall/ Throat Slitter and gain control of them with Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni, Animate Dead or Necromancy.

• Liliana Vess -8.

• Thalakos Deceiver is really powerful. He can easily take control of e.g. your opponents commander or another wincon.

• Rite of Replication can do crazy things kicked.

• Sakashima's Student can copy both your own or your opponents creatures.

• Make sure to put Stolen Identity and Undercity Plague on one of the unblockable creatures. This can stack up fast! The same is true for: Curiosity, Helm of the Ghastlord , Sigil of Sleep , Quietus Spike and the artifact swords.

Make those abilities count:

• Use the abilities of: Cephalid Pathmage , Neurok Invisimancer , Thassa, God of the Sea, Mask of Riddles , Aqueous Form, Whispersilk Cloak and Sleeper's Robe to make these cards abilities trigger with ease: Dimir Cutpurse, Quietus Spike and all the Ninjas and artifacs swords!

#DrawPower

• Baleful Strix, Dimir Cutpurse, Ninja of the Deep Hours, Shadowmage Infiltrator, Coastal Piracy , Curiosity, Helm of the Ghastlord , Sleeper's Robe , Bident of Thassa, Mask of Riddles and Sword of Fire and Ice .

• Tutor: Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor , Higure, the Still Wind , Dimir Infiltrator and Liliana Vess

Feel free to comment and bring suggestions. If the deck gets enough attention, I will make a budget version of it later. Otherwise try yourself, the artifact swords, Demonic Tutor and the most expensive lands can easily be switched out.

Thanks for checking out this deck<3 If you like it, please give it a +1:)
