Basically Endless Roaches reprinted as a skeleton. Great card if you know how to use it right, but definitely not very dimir.
Basically, the Roaches could be used for an infinite mana of any color trick involving Phyrexian Altar and Endrek Sahr, but that's not what shines here.
Get Endrek Sahr and Phyrexian Altar into play and then cast this guy: (You can still use roaches as they are mono-black, it really doesn't matter anyway since altar lets you generate whatever color mana you want.) Endrek Sahr states that whenever you play a Creature Spell you put X 1/1 Thrull creature tokens into the field where X is the CmC of the creature played. Phyrexian Altar states that you can sacrifice a creature at any time for one mana of any color. You could just keep saccing Mortus and all the tokens he brings for 4 mana, using three to cast him again, and repeating with the net gain of one mana each time for infinite mana of any color combination and use that to play a massive Mind Grind, but let's ... (see all)

I like using these guys as blockers in a deck with Maze Abomination. Once that lug comes out to play - these turn into renewable deathtouch defenders. Anything ground based will die....heheheheheh.

Oh, COME ON!
Reassembling Skeleton works much better, especially against multiple attackers!
*returns after being defeated*
I take that back. This is way cooler.

This will be a lot of fun to combo with a certain orzhov uncommon, in limited. By fun, I mean annoying. And by annoying, I mean, hilarity for me to enjoy.

Better than Reassembling Skeleton when you have Aluren. Just choose your sac outlet.
Infinite damage: Goblin Bombardment
Infinite life: Life Chisel (since you can play at instant speed)
Infinite mill: Altar of Dementia
Infinite mana: Ashnod's Altar
And so on.
*Acknowledges that there is no "infinite" in magic.*
