Dimir Tempo relies heavily on graveyard value (Murktide Regent delve, Nethergoyf) and Force of Will protecting their threats, so Grafdigger's Cage shuts off Murktide's delve fuel being cast efficiently is not literal but hampers their graveyard synergies and Surgical Extraction can strip a key Murktide or Bauble. Spell Pierce is weak once they tap out for a real threat and their own Force of Will/Daze make tempo plays risky to counter back. Keep the core combo intact since this matchup is a race to assemble Show and Tell into Omniscience before their clock closes, and their Wasteland/Thoughtseize plan punishes slow draws rather than countermagic.

Ocelot Pride Midrange goes wide with Cat tokens and relies on key engine pieces like Ocelot Pride, Guide of Souls, and Ajani, Nacatl Pariah, so Echoing Truth can bounce Ocelot Pride (and any token copies with the same name) to reset their board, while Into the Flood Maw cheaply bounces Ajani or another key nonland threat. Cutting a Lotus Petal is acceptable since their Wasteland plan and aggressive clock mean we want more interaction, and Lorien Revealed is the least impactful cantrip against a creature-based aggro-midrange deck. Veil of Summer remains excellent against their Thoughtseize and Swords to Plowshares.

This is a mirror-ish matchup against another Show and Tell/Omniscience deck with heavy Island count, so Carpet of Flowers generates a huge mana advantage off their many Islands to power out Show and Tell or Omniscience faster. Heritage Reclamation can destroy an opposing Omniscience or Aluren enchantment if they land their engine first. Flusterstorm and Spell Pierce are less necessary since both decks are racing to resolve threats rather than casting many cheap spells in a single turn, and Force of Will/Veil of Summer remain the primary interaction.
