Lazav Combo

Designed to inflict maximum Infect or Commander damage. With some combo for when we are ready to end the game.

Main Combo Plan

We have 5 Mana Sinks we want to utilize for killing the table. Exsanguinate for Infinite Damage, Torment of Hailfire for Infinite Damage, Mindshrieker for Infinite Mill, Kefnet the Mindful for Infinite Draw and Walking Ballista for Infinite Damage.

To achieve this we are running, PILI-PILA + Grand Architect , PILI-PILA + Palladium Myr + Necrotic Ooze all in the Graveyard, Isochron Scepter + Dramatic Reversal or Rings of Brighthearth + Basalt Monolith to generate infinite mana.

There are several ways to Tutor for the combo, in addition to Sac Outlets, and Looter effects (Draw and Discard) to get the correct pieces where we need them.

How to play the Table

Unfortunately we will be drawing the hate, so the plan is to prepare for the combo with distractions. We will be using the Graveyard to Shift Lazav into 1 or more different creatures during combat to land huge hits of Commander and/or Infect damage on our most threatening opponent(s). This should only be done to help us stay in the game or when it carries little to no risk. Otherwise it is generally best to keep on the defensive and protect Lazav while we are trying to dig up a combo.

Thought Processing Your Turn

Lazav is super Mana Hungry, so thinking out your turn is of the highest importance. We do not want to tap wrong, or be unprepared for any tricks the table might pull. In other words try not to go all-in and tap out without leaving some protection mana up if at all possible.

To help combat this we are using some of the lowest CMC Win Conditions and compact combos with as few moving parts as possible within our color restrictions. In addition the overall Mana Curve has been kept very low so we can make our plays and have mana up for Shifting Lazav as necessary.
