Deck discussion for Budget Modern Dimir Control

I think you need a more solid win-con that AEtherling and Silumgar. I'm a huge fan of the card, but maybe something like Sphinx of the Final Word (or if you want it's more budget, little brother: Sphinx of Jwar Isle). 2 Gurmag Anglers could be decent too.

You're also really going to want a one drop cantrip (Serum Visions, Sleight of Hand or something like that). Control needs it's answers. You can't rely on draws alone.

Hieroglyphic Illumination or Glimmer of Genius are great budget draw spells for the mid game.
Spreading Seas is also lowkey one of the best cards in Modern.

I know this is budget, but you wouldn't happen to have any Fatal Push around, would you? It's just so good.

Well now, I have few things to say; first, check out the deck now, this was built a long time ago when I had very little knowledge of modern with the idea being immunity towards removal.

Fatal push was not around back then and is just not that good with no fetches, though there are metagames, and not just a few of them, that would still support it very well.

The problem is the color pair, it wants to run Lili, Snap, Cryptic Command, Creeping Tar pit, it simply cannot be made on a budget, instead check these out as this one is dead and gone;

And thanks for the feedback, while the deck is past saving, it is still very nice to find someone who takes the time to improve them.

Oh sorry. It came up on my feed. I forgot to look at the date of release.
I'll get to those decks some time!

I think budget control can work, but it is tough.
