Budget Dimir deck for Standard (Gatecrash) making as much use of Cipher cards as possible.

Barter in Blood is a decent mini-clear. It slows down the fast aggro deck by a good margin and can be brutal against the low-creature count decks. Not exactly great though, one doesn't want an encoded creature to die quickly. Possibly quickly sideboarded out, but the not high creature count does help.

Call of the Nightwing, Last Thoughts, and Midnight Recovery are all four-drop cipher which provide some form of card-advantage. Yes they are inefficient to other similar standard cards but repeated free spells is nothing to ignore.

Hands of Binding is the staple here. On it's own it's a frost and when ciphered acts like a moving Pacifism. It's neccessary to keep their guys at bay while pushing yours through.

Sleep is a finisher that can also act as a time buyer. And both of the 6 drops can be powerful when repeated.
