The Dimir Tempo deck in Standard is all about playing cheap, efficient threats backed by disruption to keep opponents off balance. The goal isn’t to overwhelm with raw power but to squeeze every ounce of value out of tempo plays—deploying an early threat like a cheap flyer or evasive creature, then protecting it while disrupting the opponent’s game plan. Unlike full-on control decks, Dimir Tempo doesn’t want the game to drag on forever; instead, it aims to close the door quickly once it gains an early lead.
