When I saw Mazirek spoiled for the C15 product, I immediately fell in love with him and have been slowly upgrading the deck since I bought it.

I'm still trying to properly balance my lands. I'm still playtesting and deciding what does and doesn't work.

The basic idea is to get Mazirek onto the battlefield as early as possible and start sacrificing like there's no tomorrow (which if all goes right, there won't be -- for your opponents anyway) with some of the many combos in this deck. Seriously, I'm finding new ways to abuse the stack and make crazy plays.

This deck does okay in a 1v1 game, but truly excels in a multiplayer environment.

I'm always open to any constructive suggestions, so feel free to leave a comment. I'm trying to keep the deck on a semi-budget, so as much as I want to include Crucible of Worlds or Doubling Season, I need money to eat. I'm also trying to stay within the 75% range, but a little over or under is still okay.
