Dimir doesn't seem to be getting any attention so here are a few builds I have noticed others sharing during the past few weeks/months:

I started with Simic but quickly changed to Dimir and ended up with this buid:

Premium Dimir:

4 x Vapor Snag
4 x Artful Dodge
2 x Think Twice
3 x Guard Gomazoa
2 x Pestermite
2 x Talrand, Sky Summoner
1 x Time Warp

2 x Undying Evil
2 x Agent of the Fates
3 x Tribute to Hunger
4 x Liliana's Specter
4 x Phyrexian Rager
1 x Shadowborn Demon
1 x Indulgent Tormentor

10 x Island
10 x Swamp
4 x Dimir Guildgate


The deck is basically based around Talrand and/or Agents and abusing them.

Guard Gomazoa is there to help defend until you can get Talrand and/or Agent kicking.

Time Warp will win you the game 100 times over with a few flyers on the field.

Pestermite is a good trick and another flyer that can deal damage through the air.

Vapor Snag is great for stall/tokens and I have used it more than once on my Agent as well. Think Twice is for extra draws and the Flashback enables it for more tokens from Talrand. Artful Dodge is amazing with both Agents and Talrand.

Undying Evil is great with Agent as well as Liliana's Specter which is another flyer (and discard is never a bad thing). Works with Phyrexian Rager as well for extra draw.

Tribute to Hunger is another good spell for tokens, has life gain, and is relatively cheap.

I went with 4x Phyrexian Ragers over Graveborn Muse after testing both for a while. The main difference was that I could get out Phyrexian for cheaper and 1 turn earlier for card draw.

Shadowborn Demon is a beast and with all the tokens and other cheaper flyers he will often stick around more than just 1 or 2 turns. Indulgent Tormentor is simply amazing.

I use all 4 Dimir Guildgates after messing with just 2 and then 3. It is really important to have both double blue and black so I ended up having to use all 4.

While the deck is somewhat heavy on the 3-spot it still works out well. On turn 4 you throw down a 3 cmc and have room to cast any number of the 1 cost spells. Turn 5 is a perfect time to throw down Talrand to make sure he is safe with an Undying Evil or Vapor Snag in hand (which will also produce tokens). On turn 6 any 2 of the 3 cmc spells can be cast.

A few things can be slightly altered (more or less of a couple spells, minor creature changes) but the gist is the same and this build worked really well for me. If anyone has any suggestions I am open to ideas. Decent draw, some discard, and mainly a lot of flyers and death to creatures for the opponent.

Yeah for some reason for a lot of people the gates didn't all get fully unlocked but the Ravnica collection still says 100% and they cna't get anymore packs, which is a pretty weird bug.
Luckily I have a complete set of them.

For B/U, I build it as a pretty straightforward Control deck.
Contains premium cards, but a non-premium deck can easily be made too :
Pharika's Chosen => Dead Weight or Assassinate
Think Twice => Inspiration
Soul of Ravnica => Mahamoti Djinn

The only card I kinda question is the single elixir, since I hardly need it, but...

Game plan is pretty easy : Stall / Counter until you can bring out the big boys.

Control + Big Flyers :
Island x12
Swamp x8
Dimir Guildgate x4

Elixir of Immortality x1
Ulcerate x3
Pharika's Chosen x4
Think Twice x4
Nullify x4
Dissolve x3
Tribute to Hunger x3
Archaeomancer x4
Flesh to Dust x2
Time Warp x1
Mahamoti Djinn x1
Soul of Ravnica x1
Counterlash x2
Rune-Scarred Demon x2
Griselbrand x1

That's exactly what I did

Out of curiosity what did you replace to add Kozi?
