I was going to say that Gruul Spellbreaker was showcasing a guild mechanic and therefor would obviously have both guild colors in its identity, but then I looked at the rest of Guilds of Ravnica, and that's apparently not the case at all. If it would be, Legion Warboss would be {R}{W}, Venerated Loxodon would be {W}{G}, Blood Operative would be {U}{B} and Quasiduplicate would be {U}{R}.

Although in the case of Gruul Spellbreaker I think flavor tops color pie. Nothing screams "get out you pansy wizard dudes and let us smash" like hexproof on the player. At least I believe that more than {R} being needed for hexproof on a player.

Pretty solid, though I'd personally look at getting the full set of Sprites and an extra Blood Operative, dropping the Whisper Agents. I'd also say you could happily drop two or even three lands considering how low to the ground you are. Other cards to looks into would be Doom Whisperer, Sinister Sabotage, Unmoored Ego, Ashiok's Erasure, Ashiok, Dream Render, Creeping Chill and Narcomoeba.

I know this is for Arena, but here's some ideas for an exile-based Dimi control deck for Pioneer that Thief of Sanity would fit into:

Invest (In Ingest)

OR if you want to see what this archetype (originally Dredge) looks like in Modern:

"Dredge-lite: now with extra cheese!"

Though I'll admit that this second line my own thing and I've strayed a bit from the norm..

Mullac: Blood Operative hasn’t been in the sideboard since RNA came out.

I think with Absorb and Moment of Craving , you have enough life gain against aggro to survive. Blood Operative does not fit well, a better card would be Consecrate / Consume

Why is Blood Operative in the sideboard, I don't understand the point of him?
