[u]Basic Idea[/u]This deck is intended for first-time players. To make a beginner friendly deck I decide to keep the deck extra simple, so that the new player can focus on getting to know the rules, tactics and understanding what's going on.I'm trying to finish my beginners-decklists and after remodelling my previous dimir deck into a zombie deck, I recognised that I lacked a dimir control deck. So here is my take on a beginner friendly dimir control deck. [u]Cardpool and Budget[/u]Mass-strengthening-effects (+x/+x to all creatures) and cards with multiple effects are not allowed. Lands are limited to Common's and Uncommon's, no Rare's or Mythic's. Other cards are limited to Common's, Uncommon's and 1 Rare (max. 4 copies) per deck, no Mythic's.The overall budget should be between 15 to 20$. (Estimated mid value).[u]Upgradeability/ Room for improvements[/u]This deck is bound to a general strategy, named "Control" where you hinder your opponent from using spells that can harm you while slowly dealing damage to him.As this is a general strategy, in opposite to concentrating on a certain keyword or tribe, it should be easy to improve the cards uses in this deck and to keep the deck up to date. New editions will often contain cards that can be fitted into this deck. [u]Tests[/u]I have tested this deck against other beginner decks. The decks I tested against are a mixture of Control and Aggro and the result are recorded in a spreadsheet. If you're interested in details from the spreadsheet, feel free to ask. I'm open to all suggestions and ideas that may help to improve this deck.
Control decks are a little hard to start learning with, because you have not only to learn the rules, but also learn, assess and remember a lot faster then with other decks. This is something you should consider when breaking in new players using this deck. Nearly all your cards are meant to disturb your opponent one way or another. Discard, bounce, removal, the deck uses them all. The question the player has to learn is: what card do I use against which threat?The finisher of this deck is [[Desecration Demon]], with enough control through removal and bounce you should be able to keep the number of your opponents creatures down, so this demon can attack each turn.
