This is a Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest deck that utilizes multiple sacrifice triggers in order to buff the commander and other creatures. There are a few infinite combos, including sacrifice outlets combined with Mazirek's ability and persist triggers, as well as the Nim Deathmantle and Marionette Master combo with a sac outlet to infinitely buff your creatures. I did pull a lot of the potential infinite combos and put them in the “maybe board” in order to make this deck more suitable for casual play; this primarily included the pinging infinites like with Blood Artist , Zulaport Cutthroat , Mikaeus, the Unhallowed , and Triskelion . All of that being said, this is still a work in progress, and I’m certainly open to suggestions in how to improve the deck, swap out cards, or update it to include the latest set.
