5. Consuming Aberration My love for dimir actually started with an "uncastable" fattie that only rarely milled someone out. I have fond memories of trying to make this card work, like flinging it at people's faces with a counterspell in hand, or going full turbo mill with wight of precinct six...

can I interest you in a unique token? Coruscation Mage

Rather than trying to get arcane to work or upping the density of twiddle, why not play the card that everyone wants? isochron scepter This card can lower the archetype density of a ton of cards, why not play 2?

These cards are not exactly comparable in my experience, different decks want them. Loam will take bicycles if that's all they have access to, but they really want tranquil thicket and the like because the 2 mana is a lot. It barely exists when it is one to one, but if it's three bicycles...

This card is sweet if you're worried about blink Nulldrifter

I have cut white before, and while in practice it works, it just feels... off. Both me and my drafters missed white even though it is undoubtedly the weakest color in my cube. I guess they just want an underdog to root for? My cube is a tiny bit more powered than yours, we have On Wings of Gold...

Emptiness is probably the best six drop I could have asked for, super powerful in Orzhov, but not overwhelming depending on your three drops. In powered cubes getting a Monastery Mentor would hurt, for me, the best thing it could get is like splinterfright

Instead of mogg fanatic, I actually quite like Goblin arsonist or cacophony scamp fireblade charger if you want to go a little bit higher on the power level. of these, I like fireblade the most for your list

Your choices are decent, but if you want them to be unwordy, and unoppressive have you considered the uncommon walkers from WAR? (Sorted by price since that's a decent power gauge). Many of them are basically enchantments that you can attack, and if you don't have proliferate and such in your...

+1 for radiant scrollwielder. It's a bit annoying to do the "at random" but as long as players understand to shuffle them together and have opponent pick one from the backside, it's a sweet effect.

In terms of green being control, there's always beast within I also am partial to the two flash foliage poison the blade but we could also play with fog and friends, that's basically a "deny combat step" and is pretty iconic for green control, although it is really hard to use correctly and...

Yeah for complexity reasons I made the switch to only have surveil effects (or somewhat equivalent), and with FIN and such it's good so far, lower power but good.

but I also can be 100% cool for a few minutes if I play Rainbow Dash... That 0% coolness is a risk I am willing to take.

I think the term for that is stuff in the "bank" which includes stuff like experience counters, suspended cards, poison counters, energy counters, etc. So there is definitely some overlap between parasitic mechanics and cards that generate value for the bank. I definitely see Meren of Clan Nel...

You're forgetting the premier 3 drop for the five color haste deck Rainbow Dash
