Close to my final version. Have two slots remaining but willing to drop a few cards that seem to get little play.

Goal is to beat face while keeping my hand full of cards.

[Gorzo]

More ramp could be a great way to fill those last slots - especially with something as mana-heavy as Kozilek in the deck. {Tempt with Discovery} and one of {Harrow}, {Peregrination}, or {Nissa's Expedition} are my top recommendations if you go down that route.

That will probably be what I do, I especially like and forgot about Nissa Exp.

What do you think about the creatures. Are there any that should go or be added?

[Spikepit]

I'm not sure what to drop but {Horizon Chimera} looks good in this deck just for that extra bit of life gain. Thought of {Praetor's Council}?

[DimirOverlord1300]

I'm not sure what to drop but {Horizon Chimera} looks good in this deck just for that extra bit of life gain. Thought of {Praetor's Council}?

Generally smaller life gain is pretty bad in edh with general damage... Unless it's like 20 life or something huge like that, then it seems kinda bad

[Spikepit]

Man, been playing EDH since the early days and I can honest say theres no life gain thats bad life gain!!! Especially when the gain trigger, no matter the size, is linked to majority of the deck. 1 life gain per card draw in a mana ramp with Prime Zenga alone? I've seen it get outta hand.

But sneaky House Dimir isn't about the life gain, I know. Who knows what you guys do ... now what was I talking about?

[Stoneco1d869]

I really am trying to add the {Chimera}.  I don't like the CMC but i do like having a second chance to gain back life late game if needed. I should already have won by then but who knows.

I am wondering if adding {Venser's Journal} back in is a better option.

Swapped {worldly tutor} for {green zenith}. Drawing isn't always an issue, but getting the exact creature I need can be at times.

[Gorzo]

Venser's Journal in a deck that draws lots of cards can be a huge deal - if you can find the room for it, I'd say it's worth trying. Even without the potentially massive lifegain, having something other than {Reliquary Tower} that can give you no max hand size is pretty helpful, doubling your chances of getting one or the other.

{Psychosis Crawler} is another fun thing to consider if you're drawing a lot of cards. He turns things like {Blue Sun's Zenith} and {Mind spring} into a real mess (for everyone but you. You just get cards )

I dropped  {Psychosis Crawler} because I was worried he would make me too much of a target.

Besides  {Reliquary Tower} I do have  {Kruphix, God of Horizons} plus ways to tutor for either. With that said I still kind of want to add {Venser's Journal}, but what to drop...

[Gorzo]

True, psychosis crawler will definitely make you a target if it comes out. But so will Jin Gitaxias or Kozilek

Hmm... What can you cut? Maybe {Time Warp}? If you want extra turns, I feel like you'll have the mana for and be better off with {Time Stretch} anyway, maybe

[Munchlax]

Just hope no one plays a {Monomania}. Also, {Jace's Archivist} would be simply unlawful. Run it with a {Laboratory manic} to be a dirtbag
