Dimir Cutpurse hits the table and immediately pressures opponents' hands — connecting once strips a card and draws you one, a two-for-one on a 2/2 body for three mana. It's not flashy, but in Kamiz, Obscura Oculus decks where conniving and card filtering are the engine, it earns its slot.
Best Commanders
Commanders with the highest synergy
Kamiz, Obscura Oculus
Kamiz, Obscura Oculus makes one attacker unblockable each combat, which means Dimir Cutpurse is virtually guaranteed to connect — turning its triggered ability into a reliable draw-and-discard engine every single turn.
Jin Sakai, Ghost of Tsushima
Jin Sakai, Ghost of Tsushima rewards repeated evasive attacks, and Dimir Cutpurse fits naturally into that gameplan — connecting chips away at opponent resources while feeding Jin Sakai's own token and ability triggers.
Format Analysis
Where it lives, where it can’t
| Format | Verdict |
|---|---|
| commander | legal |
| legacy | legal |
| modern | legal |
| pioneer | not legal |
| standard | not legal |
| vintage | legal |
| pauper | not legal |
| oathbreaker | legal |
Commander is where Dimir Cutpurse actually sees play — three-mana creatures that trade resources on combat damage are better in multiplayer, where hand disruption has real political weight and you can pick the most threatening player to target. In Legacy and Vintage it's legal but irrelevant; the format speed means a 2/2 for three with a conditional trigger never makes the cut against faster, more explosive options. Modern is the same story — Dimir Cutpurse is outclassed by every relevant aggro and tempo threat at the same cost.

Price Context
Current price
$0.50 bulk tier
At $0.50, Dimir Cutpurse is firmly bulk — cheap enough to throw into any Dimir or Esper Commander build without hesitation. Bulk rares with narrow Commander applications rarely appreciate, so buy it for the deck, not the binder.
