Dimir Excruciator is a controlling deck that aims to answer your threats with Requiting Hex, Bitter Triumph, and Shoot the Sheriff before closing with Doomsday Excruciator or Superior Spider-Man backed by Deceit and Winternight Stories card advantage. Load up on hand disruption — the full four Duress plus three Mind Roots let you strip away their interaction and counterspells before committing your key threats like Sentinel of the Nameless City and Professor Dellian Fel to the board. Ghost Vacuum covers any graveyard recursion Doomsday Excruciator may enable, and the extra Requiting Hex and Shoot the Sheriff give you additional answers to their must-kill creatures. Trim Llanowar Elves since they are prime removal targets in a removal-dense matchup and provide less value in a long game where you're already curving out through disruption; cut Ouroboroid and the more situational pieces to focus on the threat-plus-disruption plan. The game plan is to fire off discard sorceries on turns one through three, then resolve a threat with open mana for interaction, as their deck struggles to close quickly once its hand is disrupted.
