First attempt at a Lazav, the Multifarious EDH deck, revolving around protection and commander damage (or in some situations, infect). Working on a rough $100 budget (Ignore Phyrexian Dreadnought, my playgroup have allowed me to proxy it).

Deck works by getting Lazav out and protected, setting up ramp to use for his ability, then dumping our creatures into the GY so Lazav can copy them. Copy something unblockable, swing in, then before damage switch to something big to win via commander damage. Other creatures provide utility like Hexproof and Indestructible to keep Lazav safe, or worst case scenario bounce him back to our hand (since he only costs 2).

I'd like to keep an even balance of defense whilst getting set up (both for myself and Lazav), enough self-mill and hand discard to get targets into the graveyard and then enough mana to do tricks with Lazav, all whilst having creatures I can actively play as blockers/having enough spells/card draw to keep myself in the game.

Currently wondering if I need more deck mill effects... or perhaps more interaction cards... hmmm
