CEDRIC, GARBAGE PAIL KID:

For some flavor on Mazirek read this story! (https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-story/pride-kraul-2017-05-31)

Just like Mazirek Cedric is one ugly motherfucker and lives in the sewers and demands sacrifice like some kind of old god. Kay, Sang, Hans, and I put together this deck for him in hopes that one day he will return to us and lose every single game he plays with this deck. If he can't make it back it doesn't matter because no one wants to see him actually win a game anyways. That being said this deck has multiple ways to win so even a dummy like Cedric should be able to figure it out.

ABOUT THIS DECK:

This deck is a midrange aristocrats deck with some powerful synergies and a lot of flexibility. You'll be playing a tempo game, trying to slow down your opponents through asymmetrical sacrifices and producing value. Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest is a win con and value generator all rolled up into one. He supports all of the victory lines available to us. PROTECT THIS UGLY MOTHERFUCKER BECAUSE LIKE CEDRIC HE'S OVERCOSTED AND WILL FALL OVER TO A STIFF BREEZE. It would be very easy to go infinite with persist creatures like Puppeteer Clique but we've avoided going the combo route.

STRATEGY:

Early Game: Land some form of token production, be it dorks like Blisterpod or Awakening Zone. Side benefit of the Eldrazi Scions is that they ramp you into your commander you can get your engine online ASAP if you think that you can close out the game fast.

Mid Game: Play conservatively, landing some of your sac outlets like Evolutionary Leap and value generators like Cauldron of Souls. Try to wittle down your opponents' life totals and build up your board. This is the phase of the game where the deck thrives because of the value it produces. The listed synergies will help. If you have enough ramp you can play your general early and try to speed up the clock.

Late Game: Cast and protect your commander and explode to a win with any listed victory lines.

SYNERGIES:

1. If you have the mana you can loop Virtus's Maneuver with Eternal Witness every turn.
2. Mimic Vat and Fleshbag Marauder and co let's you force sacrifices every turn.
3. Torgaar, Famine Incarnate and Cauldron of Souls does really ridiculous stuff.
4. With a sac outlet in play trigger Protean Hulk's on death ability twice times with Eternal Witness and Phyrexian Delver.

HOW TO WIN:

1. Make your general huge and knock out a player with commander damage: Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest and Reprocess for example will probably get you there. Any sac outlet and Life / Death should do it as well.

2. Go tall with Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest or Death's Presence and Fallen Ideal or your aristocrats like Devouring Swarm. You can even throw a pumped creature with Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord.

3. Go wide with your token producers like Mycoloth or Endrek Sahr, Master Breeder. Mazirek will pump your army.

CARD COSTS:

I don't really want to talk about it. Cedric doesn't deserve half the cards in this deck.
