Mairsil EDH is a combo focused deck around a reanimator shell, where individual combo pieces have synergy together, while running enough control and removal cards to support itself. While Mairsil isn't integral to the deck, he offers some strong and unusual support plays.

The combos:

Wordgorger - AnimateDead/Necromancy/Dance Of The Dead

Labratory Maniac - Self Mill

Notion Thief - Wheel Of Fortune/Windfall

There are 3 main cage routes:

Mairsil can act as a support or finisher role in each of those combos.

With infinite mana and haste: Caged Codex Shredder: return any cards in graveyard to hand Caged Arcanis: draw all cards/bounce and replay to cage any other cards

Without infinite mana or haste: Cage Mirror-Mad Phantasm: activating mills entire deck. Can setup Worldgorger or Lab Maniac win with Faithless Looting or Upkeep Necromancy.

Common lines of play:

Entomb -> Animate Dead.
The target of this is usually a 50/50 split of Worldgorger or Nezahal depending on the board state. Nezahal can be very difficult to get rid of and is often the better choice.

Intuition/Buried Alive Piles

Worldgorger/Nezahal/Mirror-Mad Phantasm - This pile is to set up for the Worldgorger win if you don't already have a discard outlet. Mairsil can copy the Nezahal to discard Worldgorger before your next turn. Mirror-Mad Phantasm can be reanimated on final trigger to then repeatedly mill pieces to grave for Mairsil to copy.

Worldgorger/Arcanis/Anger - A pile if you already have a discard outlet. After getting infinite mana Arcanis can repeatedly draw/bounce/replay to get down to Lab Maniac.

EOT Notion Thief -> Wheel/Windfall/Timetwister

If this works out its often a win on the spot. If holding a Thief in opener this is likely the route to go.
