It's a fundamentals-based DImir control deck. Counter, remove, and wipe until you're able to overwhelm the table with card advantage from Dralnu and your draw spells. The zombie token makers are your finishers.

Wow, $22 for a deck, and i thought I was doing well.

I see a lightly played copy of Force of Despair for $0.92 on TCGplayer. I've seen a lot of success with this in my two color black deck. It's an instant and you can cast it for free. Just an idea.

What's your opinion on Ravenform? Only thing I don't like is that it's a sorcery. I also really like Tragic Slip

Also, I can't help but ask... what happens if someone Blasphemous Acts with your commander on the field and you don't have a way to counter it? I never really understood how Dralnu is supposed to work, just seems waaay to risky.

I think I would like to try Oskar, Rubbish Reclaimer if I were building dimir control spellslinger.

My problem is that it's a little too reactive for a board wipe. Only generally hitting one player limits its usefulness, and the fact that it's going to be priced out very soon make it unappealing.

Ravenform is a good Pongify substitute, and hitting artifacts is a huge plus since I'm in Dimir.

There's a few options: a) counter it with one of 12 counterspell b) bounce or sac Dralnu to one of Riptide Lab or High Market or c) take your lumps like a champ and lose in the most hilarious way possible.
