Vigilance
Whenever Emet-Selch enters or attacks, draw a card, then discard a card.
At the beginning of your upkeep, if there are fourteen or more cards in your graveyard, you may transform Emet-Selch.
Raffine, Scheming Seercard_selection$2.73A three-mana Esper legend with evasive combat value and a strong attack trigger that filters cards while growing your board. It plays a similar role as a tempo-oriented looter that rewards attacking.
Hostage Takerremoval$0.23A blue-black creature that generates value on entry by removing an opposing permanent and can be cast from exile again for additional value. Like Emet-Selch, it combines creature presence with a strong ETB trigger.
Grim Hirelingutility$16.73A black creature that repeatedly creates value through combat-based triggers and can swing a game quickly if left unchecked. It fills a similar role as an attacking legend that snowballs advantage.
Ashiok, Dream Rendergraveyard_hate$18.00A Dimir-flavored card that controls graveyards and disrupts opponents while staying low to the ground. It overlaps with the graveyard-centric theme and can punish graveyard strategies.
The Scarab Godrecursion$3.85A premier Dimir commander-style value engine that uses the graveyard as a resource and keeps generating card advantage over time. It shares the recursive, graveyard-centric gameplay pattern.
Lazav, the Multifariousutility$0.32A cheap blue-black legend that leverages the graveyard and can turn into different threats from cards already there. It fits the same graveyard-toolbox and self-contained utility role.
Baleful Strixcard_draw$2.90A classic two-mana value creature that replaces itself immediately and blocks well thanks to deathtouch and flying. It is a budget-friendly functional equivalent for cheap ETB card advantage.
Notion Thiefcard_draw$7.46A flash blue-black creature that can heavily swing card advantage in the right matchup. It offers the same kind of disruptive, resource-based advantage that Dimir value decks want.
