Mazirek EDH NEW COMMANDER

Looking for Suggestions on drops/adds to help make this deck more competitive. If you suggest an add, I would appreciate if you also suggested a drop for the card in question, as well as a reason why. If you enjoy this deck please +1. Thanks!

The Game Plan

The Game Plan with this deck is pretty simple. Sacrifice your own permanents, or force your opponent to sacrifice their permanents, to get Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest triggers. Then beat face in with big creatures!

The Infinite Combo

This deck has an infinite combo using our commander, a free sac outlet, and a persist creature.

How it Works:

1. Sacrifice the persist creature to the free sac outlet while the commander is on the field.
2. Put Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest's triggered ability on the stack first, followed by the persist trigger, so that the persist trigger resolves first.
3. Persist will resolve placing a -1/-1 counter on the creature, then Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest's trigger will resolve, placing a +1/+1 counter on the creature and cancelling both counters so that no counters remain on the creature.
4. Repeat Steps 1-3 as many times as need be.

Use The Infinite Sacrifices To:

• Abuse Woodfall Primus's ETB ability and destroy all of your opponents noncreature permanents or Puppeteer Clique's ETB ability to take all the creatures from each of your opponent's graveyards for the turn.
• Put infinite counters on all your creatures with Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest's ability.
• Scry infinite times with Viscera Seer or Catacomb Sifter, cycling through your deck.
• Cause your opponents to sacrifice all their creatures with Grave Pact, Dictate of Erebos, or Butcher of Malakir. [Note: Savra, Queen of the Golgari will also work for this, but is not preferred as it causes loss of life.]
• Make infinite creatures / colorless mana with Pawn of Ulamog
• Create infinite colorless mana using Ashnod's Altar
• Create infinite experience counters with Meren of Clan Nel Toth

Other Key Cards / Synergies

Natural Order is normally the prime tutor target early on. Allows for a cheap way to get out other big green creatures quickly. Having a turn 4 Woodfall Primus or Terastodon is almost a game win in itself!

Skullclamp allows for great card draw. Typically equipped to an Eldrazi Scion or Eldrazi Spawn, but attach it to your other high value targets so that there is value in their death. When used in an infinite sac combo where infinite mana is created (see above), it allows you to draw your entire deck!

Smokestack. Allows the commander to get out of hand extremely quickly. With the multitude of tokens and sac-value creature in the deck, this card is another win condition in itself.

Sheoldred, Whispering One. Grave to battlefield recursion while your opponents sacrifice their creatures. Need more be explained?

Attrition allows for consistent creature removal, while triggering sac abilities.

Filth in your graveyard with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth on the field makes all your creatures unblockable

Meren of Clan Nel Toth allows us to abuse ETB and death triggers when we sacrifice our creatures by bringing them back to either the battlefield or hand at the end of the turn. Regardless of how many experience counters you have, it always brings value.
