My first draft to Mairsil, the Pretender. The objective is to stick as many powerful abilities on Mairsil as possible and then win by either infect or Tree of Perdition ability + attack.

Synergies

Main synergies

• Crypt Rats + Prakhata Pillar-Bug
• Mischievous Poltergeist + Nevinyrral's Disk
• Tree of Perdition + Crypt Rats
• Quicksilver Elemental can gain all abilities of Mairsil, but without the restriction of using them once per turn, which enables a lot of infinite combos.

Enablers

It's very important to have a way to return Mairsil to the Hand cheaply ( Ephemeron , Lantern Spirit , Cavern Harpy) or even better Exile+Return (AEtherling, Argent Sphinx, Deadeye Navigator not caged) to get as many ETB triggers from Mairsil and have him gain new abilities.

Also very important is to give haste by one of the many means: Anger, Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon caged, Skyship Stalker caged, Hammer of Purphoros, Fervor, Thousand-Year Elixir, Hall of the Bandit Lord, Flamekin Village

Wheel effects and looting is very effective as Mairsil can cage from the graveyard, so you just keep digging. Gamble is a straight tutor with no downside.The many Wheels also benefit to The Scarab God.

This deck needs a lot of colored mana, in particular blue. So I skipped on most mana rocks that only give colorless mana.

Weaknesses

• Countering Mairsil hurts, as his ETB doesn't get to cage anything.
• Graveyard hate hurts a bit, but can be handled.
• Nevermore or Gideon's Intervention can wreck the deck as we have almost no means to get rid of it other than Nevinyrral's Disk, Crosis's Charm and Chaos Warp. Fortunately nobody plays those ;)

Epilogue

Any suggestions welcome. Are there any interactions missing that should be noted or added?

Probably should add some cheap colored mana rocks like signets and talisman, but I don't know what to cut.
