Dimir card breakdown - 17 decks, 6.27% of meta

Creatures

1.5 // 4 If you're in a spell heavy deck like UR, or a UB deck that's good at milling itself, the Terror is going to be a super powerful card that can often end games. 2.8 1x in 24%

3 Morbid triggers that only do something once can be rough, as you just can't always find a way to make something day and then spend 5 mana on this. If you can it'll feel great, and it's nice that it can still kill an X/1 in a pinch. 3.3 1x in 24%

2.5 5-mana 3/4 Flyers have held up pretty well in Limited, and a loot trigger is pretty powerful. 1.9 1x in 24%

4.5 This has good stats and can take over the game with that first swing, since it'll grow to an even more massive size and draw you a card. -0 1x in 24%

3 It's expensive, but it has a very strong landfall trigger. Once it's in play, each land you draw becomes a removal spell -- so you don't really care if you flood out. 2.3 1x in 24%

4 You spend three mana for a 2/1 and a 4/3 -- that's an excellent deal, and usually a 2-for-1. 3.7 1x in 24%

1 // 3.5 You need to have two spells this can tutor up for it to be worth it, and if you get there -- you're going to be really happy with this card. 2.9 1x in 24%

3 This is a great one drop that can chip in for damage early, and in the late game it has a nice mana sink ability. 3.6 1x in 29%

3.5 This is a strong sacrifice outlet since you get to replace the creature right away and get in for 2. It's good at enabling Raid, too. 3.6 1x in 29%

4 This is a very strong signpost Uncommon. Looting on entering and attack is super powerful, and it's likely to get you to threshold even on it's own. 3.5 1x in 35%

3 Getting two 1/1 bodies -- including one that can fly -- for only one mana is nice. Makes it good sacrifice fodder and a good Raid enabler. 2.3 1x in 35%

1.5 // 3.0 This isn't great if you're just planning on bringing it back to chump with it, but if you have something meaningful to do with the body -- or you're good at milling -- it can be a nice card. 3.2 1x in 35%

2.5 This is always a solid Limited creature. It's certainly not a full-blown 2-for-1, but it gets a card up front and then you have a body around to block or sacrifice. 2.9 1x in 41%

2 The stats aren't amazing, but it can attack for much of the game, and once it can't looting isn't too shabby. 2.3 1x in 47%
Instant, Sorcery

3.5 It's a little expensive but makes up for that in a big way with that food token. 4 1x in 18%

3 These 4-mana "Time Ebb" effects always tend to perform well. They give you good 1-for-1 removal that can even be disruptive, and adding Surveil to the mix is nice. 3.4 1x in 18%

2.5 This is a quality trick that almost always wins combat and/or blanks removal, while generating extra value with a treasure. 1.1 1x in 18%

2 This is a nice way to disrupt your opponent, although not adding to the board is always a problem. 1.8 1x in 18%

0 // 3 This has a nice ceiling, but a miserable floor. You need lots of spells and lots of graveyard stuff going on, and neither of those are guaranteed. 1.9 1x in 18%

1.5 It's temping to imagine bouncing an entire alpha strike, but that won't happen very often. Can feel good in response to combat tricks, but if that's not the case, you're going down a card and your opponent isn't. 2.7 1x in 24%

2 It's rare for reanimation effects to be great in Limited, especially at 4+ mana. It's just tough to get your mana's worth. 2.8 1x in 24%

4 This is super efficient removal that can often trade up. 3.6 1x in 29%

2.5 Giving up a land late to get two good creatures back from the yard is a good way to win those games, although this is pretty bad when you get it early. 1.2 1x in 29%

2.5 This is never super efficient, but it does draw you 2 cards, and if you mill it, it's like adding the card to your hand which is pretty sweet. 3 1x in 29%

3 Not going to be as good here as it was in Crimson Vow, as decayed zombie tokens aren't everywhere, but it's still petty awesome when you do have something expendable to give up. 3.6 1x in 35%

3 This is always a great counterspell. It's easy to cast and usually generates some serious tempo. 3.6 1x in 35%

2 Cancel is usually not a card that always makes the cut, and this probably doesn't quite get there either -- although adding Loot to the mix is definitely better. 2.7 1x in 35%

3.5 This is premium removal. It's a little hard to cast at times, but answering creatures or planeswalkers for three mana is great on an instant. 4.1 1x in 35%
Enchantment, Artifact

1 This is a removal spell that gives you less than a 1-for-1. Leaving a 1/1 creature around is brutal since it can still attack and block, and if you have any X/1s it can be super miserable. 1.6 1x in 6%

1.5 This is too slow to work out very well. If you have lots of fodder you might be able to go off, though. 1.5 1x in 6%

3.5 This offers a stats-boost that makes any creature a threat, and while it's a little clunky to cast and equip, the fact you get to put it in for free sometimes is a big deal. 4.9 1x in 12%
Planeswalkers
Lands

2.5 These all offer nice fixing, and the lifegain on the BW can be extra nice. -0 1x in 6%

2.5 These all offer nice fixing, and the lifegain on the BW can be extra nice. 1.3 1x in 6%

1.5 This effect generally isn't worth making your mana worse for. Sure, it can be nice late -- but that's not even a guarantee. 1.9 1x in 12%

2.5 These all offer nice fixing, and the lifegain on the BW can be extra nice. 1.4 1x in 29%

2.5 This plus a basic land is always a nice way to fix for a bomb, and it can even help you get threshold. 3.4 1x in 35%
Top Rated Cards

4 This attacking you is pretty scary, since you don't know how big it can get -- that makes it both hard to block and hard not to block, since you don't want your opponent to get a free Drake. 4.5 1x in 12%

4 This has good stats, and even if you only get one token out of it you're going to feel great. 4.3 1x in 12%

4 While the draw is symmetrical, it always happens during your upkeep giving you the advantage of using that card first in most cases and your opponent is going to quickly lose life, too. -0 1x in 18%

4 This is a very potent spell payoff. The cost reduction and card draw go great together too, as it's more likely you can dig through your deck and cast more spells when they are cheaper. 3.7 1x in 18%

4 You spend three mana for a 2/1 and a 4/3 -- that's an excellent deal, and usually a 2-for-1. 3.7 1x in 24%

4 This is great whether you're ahead or behind, since it can trade for anything, attack effectively, and gain lots of life. 4.4 1x in 24%

4 This is super efficient removal that can often trade up. 3.6 1x in 29%

4 This is a very strong signpost Uncommon. Looting on entering and attack is super powerful, and it's likely to get you to threshold even on it's own. 3.5 1x in 35%

4.5 Even without threshold I'd be very excited about a three mana 3/2 that loots twice when it enters, and that threshold trigger is a game-ender. 4.8 1x in 6%

4.5 Adding a huge body to the board while tutoring up the next best card in your deck is tough to beat. 3.9 1x in 18%

4.5 This has good stats and can take over the game with that first swing, since it'll grow to an even more massive size and draw you a card. -0 1x in 24%

5 A 4-mana 3/3 with flash and Flying is a very good card, and being able to flash back your spells is massive. Because of Flash, you'll often be able to get one attack in before your opponent ever has a chance to take it down, at which point they are probably too far behind anyway. 5 1x in 6%

5 The stats and keywords here are amazing, and it'll often gain you life the turn it comes down. Also gives you a 2-card combo with the Common "Marauding Blight-Priest." 4.5 1x in 6%

5 This is a huge flyer that can close out the game, and it also draws you a bunch of cards and loads the graveyard. -0 1x in 12%
