Dimir Cutpurse
I can't really complain about this guy, but I'm
not overly impressed, either. He still needs to
bust through to get a cool effect; otherwise,
he's just a Gray Ogre. However, if you are
playing blue-black, Dimir Cutpurse definitely
warrants consideration. No matter what format, I
see Dimir Cutpurse as an overall above-average
card, but no more.

Amusingly
enough, I just bought a playset of these on
Magic Online last night. I decided that I wanted
to put together an aggressive blue/black deck
for Ravnica Block Constructed, and this little
guy seemed like a necessary purchase. Having had
a chance to test the deck (which is doing just
fine, thanks for asking) a bit, I recognize this
guy for the solid creature it is. In most cases
it presents a must-answer situation for your
opponent, if played early. With a bit of quick
removal, you can quickly set up a card advantage
situation that will be hard for the opponent to
overcome. He's a spirit, too. That doesn't
matter so much for Ravnica block, but there's
fun stuff to do with him in a more casual
format. Kami of the Waning Moon,anyone?

Dimir Cutpurse
Definitely a card that has found popularity in
some constructed builds. It takes discard a step
further, and gives you the added bonus of
drawing a card. If card advantage wins games,
this takes card advantage to a new level if you
can get through with it.
In limited, it's a must play, or at the least
it's not a bad D-draft that you can get some $
value for. So if you find it in your hands, you
probably take it. It's also a fun casual card
worth playing.
