I also recently modified the Dimir Dementia deck and had some similar questions.

Here is the post:

Here is the deck I ended up with based on some of the recommendations:

I think  I have a bit too much land as many test draws ended up with a big pile of mana. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

Good luck!

Thanks for the tips and ideas gang! I"ll give this deck a try or two and see how much I like the milling idea. Worst case scenario is I don't, and I try something different. smile

Thanks for the feedback. I was attempting to build a deck (with what I had), that would allow me to make an opponent churn through a bunch of their deck, while at the same time, making some of my main attackers more powerful. That's why I chose wight of precinct six and consuming aberration and some of my instant and sorceries. I guess my enchantments are sort of rubbish for what I want to do. Perhaps removing them and put a few more blues in to buff up sage's row denizen?

I have some of the other color cards as well, but I chose the Dimir intro deck at random to learn the game, and I figured I'd try to upgrade it a little bit and have something somewhat viable to play now and again. I really don't want to spend hours researching the perfect card, I really want to try to build something out of what I have.  I also have a wrack and rage deck from RTR. Would I be better off trying to upgrade that? It's a pretty fast aggro deck that is kinda fun too.

I'm not looking to take FNM by storm, or buying my way to a podium, I mainly want to just have fun and be social while not totally rolling over every time. I hope to at least make my opponents wins somewhat painful. I think a lot of the events I plan on going to will be booster drafts as those are very level playing fields. To be honest, the lack of a true level playing field is what kept me from playing magic a long time ago. I'm not interested in a cardboard bankroll, I just really enjoy games, and the social aspect of this kind of game. Also, I was an avid baseball/basketball card collector as a kid, so I LOVE the sound and feel of opening up a pack of cards, and feeding them slide by one another when I look at them.  I know, weird. It's only missing the stale gum smell and taste.

Thanks again,

I'm new to the game (2 weeks) and have purchased several gatecrash boosters, a fat pack, did my first booster draft, and now am interested in upgrading the intro deck I originally purchased (Dimir Dementia). I also have a Wrack and Rage deck that I'd like to keep intact as it seems to play pretty well. I'm not looking to get super competitive, but would like to work on making a deck or two out of cards I've gotten out of packs. I'm not very interested in purchasing singles. I plan on getting most of my future cards via booster drafts. Maybe I'll snag a Ravnica Fat Pack at some point.

The deck can be found here, and in the sideboard I placed all the blue/black appropriate cards I own.

Any tips would be appreciated!

Thanks!
