Description
For the uninitiated, Challenger Decks are individual, 75-card decks geared toward Standard play for the Friday Night Magic player. Each deck comes with a 60-card main deck and 15-card sideboard and is intended to be playable and competitive at a local level right out of the box. All cards will have been previously printed in Standard and are Standard-legal.
Dimir Rogues is a tempo deck. It attacks on two fronts, cards in the library and life total. It also backs up those attacks with counterspells, removal, and card draw. One key card of Dimir Rogues is Drown in the Loch. This versatile card grows stronger over the course of the game as you mill your opponent. It also doubles as a removal spell and a counter spell, meaning that you can always find a way to use it effectively. While being a hard deck to play well, Dimir Rogues is a fantastic deck for players who enjoy the challenge of effectively playing a tempo deck.
