Dimir Tempo leans heavily on free counterspells like Force of Will and Daze alongside tempo plays, so Defense Grid taxes those answers on their turn while leaving your own Show and Tell and Aluren activations unaffected on your turn. Consign to Memory stops colorless triggered abilities and spells, picking off Mishra's Bauble triggers or an activated Clue, and can snipe a key colorless permanent. Veil of Summer is weaker here since the opponent is primarily blue-black with few relevant spells it blanks beyond countermagic, so it comes out along with the single Boseiju which is a slow answer against a deck that wants to race or lock you out. Keep the full Force of Will suite and your combo pieces untouched since resolving Aluren or Show and Tell is still your fastest way to end the game before Murktide Regent gets online.

Ocelot Pride Midrange doesn't lean on blue or black spells, so Veil of Summer's hexproof and conditional card draw are mostly dead here and come out. Consign to Memory comes in to counter the triggered abilities off Ocelot Pride, Guide of Souls, and Ajani, Nacatl Pariah, letting you strip value off their token engine at instant speed. Defense Grid taxes their disruptive instants like Swords to Plowshares and their Thoughtseize/Cabal Therapy-backed interaction on your turn while barely affecting your own Show and Tell plan. Omniscience is a slow, clunky mana sink against a deck that pressures the board quickly and can Wasteland your mana, so trimming to two copies of the Show and Tell package (cutting the Omniscience copies) smooths out the curve; Hedge Maze comes out as a land-for-nothing swap isn't needed, but trimming one surveil land slightly tightens the manabase against Wasteland without affecting color fixing much. Prioritize resolving Aluren or Show and Tell into Atraxa or Acererak quickly before their Thalia and Orcish Bowmasters can tax or punish your follow-up spells.

This is a mirror match, so the plan focuses on disrupting the opponent's own combo pieces rather than overloading on redundant protection. Faerie Macabre can discard itself to exile Lotus Petals, Stock Up, or graveyard-based resources the opponent might rely on to rebuild after a Brainstorm or Ponder, and its flying body can trade in combat if the game goes long. Defense Grid taxes the mirror's own Force of Will and countermagic on their turn, which is especially punishing since both decks want to protect their enablers. Veil of Summer is less impactful against a deck that is also green and not reliably casting blue or black spells targeting you, so it and the single Boseiju make room without touching the core Aluren/Show and Tell engine.
