Lazav, the Multifarious is the best thing to happen to Dimir in commander in a long time. His design allows for a variety of different playstyles as well as a wide range of competitiveness. The deck has a few combos, but the aim is not to win super early with these. Rather, you want to sit back and use Lazav as a rattlesnake that incentives players not to mess with you. Eventually, you can alpha strike a player or too for the win. This deck will rarely amass an insurmountable boardstate or oppressively control the board. The key aspect of playing Lazav is the element of surprise, and utilizing it to win out of nowhere

I appreciate any feedback that you can give, whether it's cards I should cut or cards I should add. I have Divination as a stand in for the card card:Rain of Notions, and Diabolic Intent as a stand in for the card card:Secrets of the Mausoleum. Thanks for reading this, and I invite you to try the deck out for yourself.
