Dimir Control grinds with counterspells, hard removal (Snuff Out, Cast Down, Agony Warp), and card advantage engines like Baleful Strix and Lorien Revealed, so our best plan is to keep casting efficient threats and incidentally gain life to outlast Thorn of the Black Rose's monarch drain. Hinterland Sanctifier gains life every time another creature enters, which is huge in our go-wide aggro shell and helps us survive Snuff Out's life payment and chip damage from Ninja of the Deep Hours. None of our artifact or color hosers have real targets here since their only artifacts are artifact creatures and they play no red, so Dust to Dust, Revoke Existence, and Thraben Charm's enchantment mode are mostly dead; we cut the excess Thraben Charms since they only answer their rare Thorn of the Black Rose. Keep pressuring with cheap threats to force them to spend removal inefficiently.
