I like what you’re going for here. One thing I’d recommend is to drop Star Compass and just replace it with a cheap dual land. Either way you’ll have something coming in tapped that will produce {BR}, so it makes sense to play it for free rather than have to pay {2}. Without any other artifact synergies, Star Compass is pointless.

Caerwyn Aside from Cryptic Spires, do any cards have mana symbols somewhere outside of the mana cost and rules text? I guess Deathmark and Star Compass, but I'd be surprised if anyone considers art to be a color identity determinant.

Dimir Signet, Mind Stone, Prismatic Lens, Arcane Signet, Charcoal Diamond, Coldsteel Heart, Corrupted Grafstone, Ebony Fly, Fellwar Stone, Fractured Powerstone, Guardian Idol, Liquimetal Torque, Obsidian Obelisk, Sky Diamond, Star Compass, Talisman of Dominance, Thought Vessel - Those are the viable 2 cmc mana rocks (Everflowing Chalice could also be played for 2 mana, but also scales more into the later stages due to Multikicker) Moonsnare Prototype and Springleaf Drum are 1 cmc but require a creature/artifact which you could tap to produce 1 mana. Sol Talisman and Mox Tantalite are also relative cheap in price.

For Land ramp, there arent that many options in Dimir, but here are the ones I would consider - Lantern of Revealing: 3 cmc Rock, that can ramp later Wayfarer's Bauble: The classic Dreamscape Artist: 2 CMC creature, that turns each card in your hand into Harrow Druidic Satchel: Not guarantees a land but not completely without value Navigation Orb: Bauble but slower Myriad Landscape: Land that fetches 2 Lands

Revel in Riches as an enchantment as is Black Market but that is kinda slow and comes relatively late Those are my suggestions for Ramp. Hope you find them helpful and GL with the deck :)

I would highly recommend Calamity Bearer, since it doubles the damage of all your giants and works very well with Kalemne's Double Strike.

I also would suggest you look into Boros Signet and Talisman of Conviction, as they are very helpful at securing your colors. I would consider them over the diamonds and Star Compass.

For removal, I would consider looking into Swords to Plowshares, Path to Exile, Wear / Tear, and Cleansing Nova or Day of Judgment. Cheap removal allows you to continue to play the cards you want to, without having to decide between removing an opponent's threat or playing your own. Also, since your creatures have fairly high mana-costs, you can easily hold a board wipe in hand, wait for your opponents to play all their creatures, then remove them in one fell swoop before playing your own threats.

Lastly, Kalemne is actually a woman... I also thought she was a guy when I first saw her.

You have a card draw/bearhug theme, maybe you should make this a Nekusar, the Mindrazer deck? I recommend running Memorial to Folly, Path of Ancestry, Blightstep Pathway  ^Flip, Drossforge Bridge, Talisman of Indulgence, Coldsteel Heart, Commander's Sphere, Fellwar Stone, Mind Stone, Star Compass, Fire Diamond, Charcoal Diamond, Glittering Stockpile, Prismatic Lens, Tome of the Guildpact, Exsanguinate, Read the Bones, Angrath, the Flame-Chained, Court of Ambition, Curtains' Call, Stormbreath Dragon, Fiery Confluence, Liliana's Specter, Capital Punishment, Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Soul Shatter, Tectonic Giant, Graveyard Trespasser  ^Flip, Palace Siege, Vance's Blasting Cannons  ^Flip, Cut / Ribbons, Make an Example, Oath of Liliana, Valakut Exploration, Terminate, Liliana's Triumph, The Eldest Reborn, Unnerve, Yarok's Fenlurker, Elderfang Disciple, Skull Rend, Tasigur's Cruelty, Warchief Giant, Warlock Class, Zof Consumption  ^Flip, Hagra Mauling  ^Flip, Skyclave Relic, Syphon Mind, Syphon Flesh.

ooh, a few more things I thought of: Skyclave Relic is a fairly solid mana rock, and it is flexible in that you can cast it as two mana rocks. The neat part is kicker costs are also copied, so your commander would make four mana rocks.

Arcane Signet could also probably be added, since you have so few 2 CMC mana rocks available in mono blue. Star Compass, too.

OLucas on Traxos, the Colorblind

Both Arcane Signet and Star Compass don't add mana since colorless is not a color.

I would definitely agree with Talisman of Hierarchy, Fellwar Stone, and maybe even Chromatic Lantern to help with your ramp. I really like rocks that are <=2mv, and even Star Compass may be worth considering even though it enters tapped.
