You can link cards by enclosing the names in double brackets.

Lazav, the Multifarious

Escape Artist

When a card refers to itself by name it means "the object this ability is on". So you will be able to return Lazav to hand by paying a blue and discarding a card.

God I would love to see that artwork. I bet it'd be beautiful as a foil. I can imagine an Angelic figure, sprouting moss and vines and spores in a grotesquely-Humanoid figure rising up from a bog or graveyard.

I'm going to search for a random MTG creature card, and that creature will be the basis for the challenge unless what I find is represented in 3 or more colors. Then it'd be a bit too easy. So no Dragons or Humans and the like. First one I got was Escape Artist. Nope. Humans and Wizards are too prevalent. Next. Oooh, got Nahiri, the Harbinger. I could do Kor, but I said Creature, not Planeswalker. Next.

Huh. Brass Man. A construct out of color it is!

Mechanized Adaptation

Artifact Creature - Construct

Whenever an equipment is attached to Mechanized Adaptation, put a +1/+1 counter on it.

When Mechanized Adaptation dies, draw a card for each aura that was attached to it.

Flesh and metal, blood and iron. Biology seeks to evolve, engineering seeks to improve. In this, these two contrasting ideologies can find harmony.

2/3

Repeat: A highly unusual color pairing for a creature type.

Hello, again glad i could help for card to cut : Ezuri's Predation I never found that card usefull in ezuri it always rotted in my hand doing nothing.

Verdant Confluence too expensive for what it dooes in my opinion Ezuri deck try to win fast most of the time this will be useless.

Oblivion Stone i don't know about this one, i don't see you saving more than ezuri + 1 creature unless you have a buttload of mana.

Solidarity of Heroes that's cute but is that really usefull ?

Voidmage Apprentice the ability to counter is good but 7 mana is a bit stiff

Lorescale Coatl I ended up cutting it was not good enough

Greenweaver Druid that doesn't look very good to me

Ornithopter easy cuttable unless you wana send a message and kill someone with it

Patagia Viper I prefer Whirler Rogue over this

Sage Owl I prefer Mulldrifter over this

Cancel easy upgradable your Scatter to the Winds is a good option personally i prefer Dissipate

Cobra Trap This card is easy cuttable.

Viridian Shaman try to get a Reclamation Sage straight upgrade

Thelonite Hermit easy cuttable

Slith Predator looks okayish at best

Caller of the Claw I always found that card useless in ezuri because most of time you use the effect of creating token to have an great boost for experience this card suck with tokens.

Escape Artist discarding a card to save this look kinda useless you'll loose all your counter, and i'm not really sure it's worth to do it just to bounce it for having it regain us 1 experience at the cost of 2 mana and 1 card. I much prefer Looter il-Kor at least if it connect i can loot. And i have Shrieking Drake that can bounce itself for the single cost of 1 mana and goes infinite with Aluren

About Sea God's Revenge too expensive for what it does.

Merchant Scroll and Mystical Tutor what do you want to tutor for with that ?

Pilgrim's Eye I like it. it's a fine card drawback i that is put the land in your hand i think getting a Fyndhorn Elves or Arbor Elf is better unless you really need the flying.

Protean Hulk the effect seems good, but is that enough it doesn't trigger Ezuri and only do something when it dies you have no way to sacrifice it your own.

Boomerang good card overall nothing much to say if you need it and you have nothing better that's a good inclusion.

That's my opinion hope it can help.
