Sorry for the massive delay on this episode. I have had some personal problems that prevented me from making the next episode, and it just kept slipping by over the weeks, but now I am back to figuring out the 3 heroes of each color pair, in this case, Dimir.

The rules of this chart are simple: submit a fictional hero or heroine who represents the Dimir, or Blue/Black, color identity. They don't have to be the most morally upstanding protagonist, and they can range from normal hero to anti-hero, but the goal is to find someone who is the most iconic and emblematic hero/heroine of the Dimir identity.

Essentially, this trope discusses characters from the early days of a franchise whose very existence, appearance, or function clash with how the franchise currently runs.

Roshan (Ice Age) - Ice Age 1's main plot focuses on reuniting baby Roshan with his tribe of fellow humans, which sticks out like a sore thumb when putting that plot up against the other sequels. Unlike the sequels, Ice Age 1 prominently featured humans in the franchise's backstory. The reason Manny the mammoth is so surly is that human hunters killed his previous family, while the main antagonist, Soto, wanted to kill baby Roshan due to wanting revenge against humans. However, in the sequels, humans are basically non-entities, making Roshan and his fellow humans a clear example of early-installment weirdness.

Annie (League of Legends) - Annie is an example of a design that doesn't fit with modern League of Legends aesthetics. While a few champions like Cho'Gath, Zilean, Amumu, and Corki have outdated models as well, they still fit with the game's aesthetic, but Annie is a special case. Even with their outdated models, the likes of Corki and Zilean still fit with the game's current aesthetic of mixing high fantasy and steampunk technology, with a dash of cosmic horror for good measure. While modern-day technology does exist, it's mainly in the form of robotics, and not so much attire, which takes inspiration from several past civilizations put through a fantastical filter, from Ancient Egypt, to industrial revolution era Europe, to Nordic times, but LoL has never made attire modeled after the modern day. Annie, with her more contemporary schoolgirl uniform, cat ear headband, and child's backpack, sticks out like a sore thumb due to this anachronistic design.  

Creeper (Minecraft) - The current creative leads of Minecraft have once stated that the iconic Creeper goes against modern Minecraft design philosophy, but they keep it due to being grandfathered in due to its iconic status as the game's mascot. Creepers, while not looking out of place aesthetically, do look out of place mechanically. Unlike other overworld mobs, who simply damage or harass the player, the Creeper's sole purpose is to destroy. Its iconic ability to blow up the terrain around itself goes against the game's modern philosophy of encouraging building and being creative. The other mobs that can damage structures, like Zombies breaking down doors, or Endermen carrying blocks, only damage on a small scale and in a way that is easily repairable, but with the Creeper, one wrong explosion can destroy an entire build, again going against Minecraft's current design philosophy.

Pigma Denger (Star Fox)

Creek (Trolls)

Pong Krell (Star Wars)

Scar (The Lion King)

Sentinel Prime (Transformers One)

Shang Tsung (Mortal Kombat - Reboot Timeline)

Dimentio (Super Paper Mario)

The reason I am framing this question the way I did is that I feel the reasons for betraying someone can augment or minimize someone's evilness to a certain extent. While each of the villains here showcases wildly different moral spectrums in terms of true evilness, it is sometimes the reasons behind these actions that showcase how truly morally bankrupt they are, hence why I wanted to angle this question in such a way. I feel this would be an interesting thought experiment, as there could be some discussion on what motivation is more evil, from callously throwing your ally under the bus for some money, letting others die due to your own selfish actions that you frame as a desire to clean your conscience, to how betraying other villains could mold the morality behind the betrayal.

Anyway, I am curious about how you would rank these villains based on how selfish and/or morally bankrupt their backstabs were.

Not a very complicated commander, you make Food, sacrifice said food, then free cast some Demons, Devils, Imps, or Beasts. I imagine that Bazzle would love some pump spells to both increase his power, and therefore, how many cards he can dig in your deck, some quick ritual-esc mana to help power out some Food token sacrifices, and generally ways to flood the board with Food tokens.

How does it look? Do you think there are some nice synergies with this card?
