---

I want things to hit the opponents graveyard to abuse Lazav.Sword of Mill and Puppies: Mills an opponent, creates edict fodder and protects Lazav. Ticks alot of boxes.Baleful Strix: Early play that deter attacks and replaces itself.Consuming Aberration: Can be a giant threat that mills each opponent per spell cast.Evil Twin: Clone effect that can kill the original for Lazav to copy for extra value.Shadowmage Infiltrator: A sword carrier with evasion and card draw.Solemn Simulacrum: Ramp in B/U is at a premium. Does serve as a chomp and replaces itself.Whispering Madness: Windfall for 1 more mana, but with the upside of encoding it on Lazav to windfall if needed.Dimir Signet: 2 mana ramp and color fixing.Talisman of Dominance: 2 mana ramp and color fixing.Perplex: 3 mana counterspell that can tutor most equipment and good answers in the deck.Notion Thief: Card draw and is unfair with windfall effects.Clever Impersonator: Clone for all nonland permanents.Phyrexian Metamorph: Clone for artifacts and creatures.Sakashima the Impostor: Clone but can target Lazav and avoid the legend rule.Memory Plunder: Casting opponents powerful sorceries at instant speed for free.Insidious Will: Versitile counter, redirect or copy.Animate Dead: Great since we mill cards.Necromancy: Cheap reanimation that can contest opponents reanimates.Geth, Lord of the Vault: Mills, reanimates and got some evasion for swords. Fits like a glove.Grinning Totem: Works like Bribery for Lazav trigger.Cyclonic Rift: Every deck needs boardwipes and this one doesn't remove Lazav.Toxic Deluge: Boardwipe + might not remove Lazav.Darksteel Plate: Lazav is hard to remove already but this put it over the top.Sword of Feast and Famine: Seems natural to add. Protection, ramp, card advantage.Imprisoned in the Moon: Deals with indestructable, commanders and Homeward Path.Grip of Phyresis: Might take a sword but usually someone have boots if desperate.Sepulchral Primordial: Good finisher that uses the opponents graveyards to my advantage.Diluvian Primordial: Good finisher that uses the opponents graveyards to my advantage.Avatar of Woe: Cheap cause of mill.Mind's Dilation: Win con if everything else fails.Rite of Replication: Win con or just massive advantage.Trophy Mage: Tutors swords or plate.Thassa, God of the Sea: Gives Lazav unblockable for a voltron approach + a small amount of card selection.Coldsteel Heart: 2 mana ramp and color fixing.Leyline of Anticipation: 4 mana change where you sit. Also might be free if lucky.Life's Finale: 3rd board wipe. Combos with a plated Lazav.Jace's Archivist: 3 drop that can windfall.Dimir Charm: Flexible.Phantasmal Image: 2 mana clone.Duskmantle Guildmage: Early game blocker late game mana sink.Dimir Infiltrator: Early unblockable that can be any 2 cost card.Looter il-Kor: Unblockable, good with a sword and card selection.Trailblazer's Boots: Gives Lazav Unblockable and can be found with Dimir Infiltrator.Whispersilk Clock: Gives Lazav Unblockable and can get tutored by Trophy Mage and Perplex.Shred Memory: Graveyard hate and transmute for 2.Ink-Eyes, Servant of Oni: Good with all the unblockable and mill.Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker: Mill and flavour.Duskmantle Seer: Draw and flavour.Wrexial, the Risen Deep: Evasive, gets value out of mill.Curse of the Swine: Deals with indestructable and can be found with transmute 2.Sire of Stagnation: Draw and flavour.Sword of Fire and Ice: Another sword for value and to finish the protection cycleVesuvan Shapeshifter: Another clone but can switch target at upkeep for 1USygg, River Cutthroat: Works well with the swords and should draw some cards.Split Decision: Political CounterspellSphinx's Tutelage: Pretty heavy mill spell with card selectionPsychic Strike: Counterspell with abit of millGrisly Spectacle: Kills and mills does what Lazav wants.Mimic Vat: Does alot of stuff. Imprinting problematic cards like Eldrazi when they hit the graveyard or just a clone to have a 3 mana clone every turn. Don't know why i didn't add this sooner.
