Needs Rule 0 approval to partner Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest with Vrestin, Menoptra Leader (Kathril, Aspect Warper can be a legal alternative Commander). Either way, the goal is to quite literally swarm your opponents. The difference is Kathril gets played into an existing boardstate lategame when you have stuff in your grave whereas Mazirek/Vrestin can still have an impact and be cast whenever you want.
