A relatively cheap build for Araumi, the Dead Tide that was first inspired by a discussion I had with a friend about the Baldur's Gate card Wizards of Thay, and how cards that have Myriad have crazy synergy with Araumi. Sadly, the Wizards were the only new Myriad card in the set in Dimir colors since it ended up being a Boros thing, and I don't have a lot of spells in the deck, so I'm not running them. The main wincon is using Teardrop Kami or Vizier of Tumbling Sands to chain Araumi activations, and ramping with a ritual creature like Diamond Lion or Soldevi Adnate in order to power up a tripled Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Underworld Hermit, or Dusk Mangler, or throwing 3 copies of Banshee of the Dread Choir or Broodbirth Viper at each opponent. Gary is generally the default wincon for the deck in theory, which is why a few cards with 3 black pips are in their own special group, since if you encore them with Araumi they massively boost your devotion, which can also help if you need a ton of blockers from a tripled Underworld Hermit. One particular interaction that's really nice at filling up the bin is discarding Golgari Thug or Stinkweed Imp to Undead Gladiator during your upkeep so you can dredge it again on your next draw step, and you can even do it multiple times in one upkeep if you have lots of mana to keep cycling the Gladiator, dredging each time you would draw and then swapping the cards again. This can help you restock the yard after graveyard hate, or if you need a few extra cards or a specific creature in the bin to combo off and have mana to spare, which happens a decent amount of the time because an Encored Diamond Lion or Overeager Apprentice gives you a huge burst of mana. If I ever decide to revisit this deck in the future with a bigger budget for it, I'd probably change it to focusing more on getting a single untap on Araumi with stuff like Patriar's Seal to triple a high devotion card and then Gary, and use Swamp-based ramp like Cabal Coffers and Crypt Ghast or Dramatic Scepter to avoid needing to put as many pieces together in the bin at a time.
