Thank you so much! Darkslick Shores is a great budget alternative to Polluted Delta and Clearwater Pathway  ^Flip! I left it ambiguous since there's so many different Dimir dual lands and everyone has a different preference/budget. I'll go ahead and update with some recommendations though!

Great build, lots going on here to like. I noticed in the budget section you recommend replacing Polluted Delta with something cheaper, I’d suggest dropping that and Clearwater Pathway  ^Flip for 4x Darkslick Shores. It’s dropped heavily in price over the years and makes a great replacement that’s über effective if drawn early enough. Otherwise this looks quite nice overall, +1

My thoughts as a rough draft

• 4x Darkslick Shores
• 3x Oboro, Palace in the Clouds
• 4x Polluted Delta
• 4x Swamp
• 2x Undercity Sewers
• 4x Verdant Catacombs

• 2x Watery Grave

• 3x Quicksilver Fountain

• 4x Fatal Push

• 4x Damnation
• 4x Preordain
• 4x Counterspell
• 4x Drown in the Loch
• 3x Spell Pierce

• 2x Force of Negation

• 4x Bloodghast

• 2x Harbinger of the Seas
• 3x Tamiyo, Inquisitive Student  ^Flip

I feel like Bloodghast plays soo well as a wincon alongside Oboro that it felt like the direction to push in. Everything else is ensuring we get enough time to flood the board and create misery.

Hello MITKO, I do see that Drowned Catacomb works better than Secret Passage, I do have another land suggestion such as Shipwreck Marsh, and Darkslick Shores.

Some thoughts:

• You never really want to play lands that are very likely to enter the battlefield tapped - all of Vineglimmer Snarl, Choked Estuary, Necroblossom Snarl, and Zagoth Triome are all waay too slow to be useful. If you can't acquire fetchlands, then I'd suggest trying to acquire the fastlands - Blooming Marsh, Botanical Sanctum and Darkslick Shores.

• With no basics, you automatically lose to Blood Moon if an opponent plays it. You also have absolutely nothing to gain if the opponent casts Path to Exile or Assassin's Trophy on one of your permanents.

• For Collected Company to have any reasonable chance of hitting at least 2 creatures, your deck needs to have at least 27 creatures within it - without this number there's no point to playing the card. At the moment, with only 15 creatures that the card can use, the card just isn't good enough.

• Once you remove Collected Company, your deck has a lot more lands than it will need - and you could easily drop down to 22 (or possibly even 20).

• Urza's Saga lends itself really well into finding various 1-of toolbox cards that can save you in certain situations. Having a single copy of cards like Shadowspear, Pithing Needle, Relic of Progenitus etc can help you put-the-squeeze on many opponents.

• Lonis, Cryptozoologist really wants to live in a deck with lots of creatures. Just like Collected Company, your creature-count isn't high enough to justify this card.

• If you're playing Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar, you probably want to play the full playset, as well as the full 4-ofs each of Ovalchase Daredevil and The Underworld Cookbook.

Idoneity on When Will WotC Finish the …

WOTC is rather capricious as to what land cycles they finish and when.

Typically, they finish land cycles in adjacent set releases, such as the checklands in Dominaria and Ixalan (see Isolated Chapel and Glacial Fortress. But they have also quixotically completed the showland cycle with Strixhaven in 2021 (see Furycalm Snarl), despite it first being introduced on a separate plane in 2016's Shadow's Over Innistrad (see Fortified Village). They do this a lot, starting with the allies then bargaining it over to the enemies:

1995 brought Underground River then 2001 had Shivan Reef, 2010 brought Darkslick Shores then 2016 had Spirebluff Canal. These are rather large gaps, ranging from months to years.

There are plenty of land cycles that haven't been finished or haven't even begun. The five ally-colored lands from Future Sight has partially been officiated, consisting of Horizon Canopy, Grove of the Burnwillows, Graven Cairns, Nimbus Maze, and River of Tears. All of these are rather unique; two have been finished. Kind of. Modern Horizons parlously gave Horizon Canopy an enemy family. The Graven Cairns cycle was completed in Eventide and Shadowmoor. The rest are lonesome.

There's still Amonkhet's cycling cycle to finish up, so who knows when the buddy lands will be tended to.

• 33 lands is too low and will force too many mulligans. Try playing 35 lands. To prevent being mana flooded with these extra lands, add lands that have some activated ability that can be used later in the game. I suggest adding Creeping Tar Pit, Access Tunnel.
• You have too few dual lands fixing your colors. You'll likely end up missing one of the colors. Here's a list of dual lands to consider: Choked Estuary, Darkwater Catacombs, River of Tears, Darkslick Shores, Shipwreck Marsh, Drowned Catacomb, Sunken Ruins, Temple of Deceit.
• Since you are an aggro deck, you need to play untapped lands. Remove The Dross Pits. BTW, you have it listed twice, which is obviously a mistake.

Drowned Catacomb or Darkslick Shores over Bad River you really don’t want lands that come into play tapped
