Hey, this is my first actual deck list that I have posted here and wanted to see if I could get some ideas/suggestions on how well this list I put together would fair in multiplayer. I'm looking to build it around mill and pillaging my opponents graveyards as Lazav does this quite nicely so it feels flavorfully acceptable. I still wanted to keep a Dimir feel to it but also make it competetitve enough that it will be successful. I know mill is not always a good strategy in Commander but I feel that I have enough threats that I can take from other graveyards/libraries that this will not be an issue.
I had an idea of using a few zombies such as Undead Alchemist and Lich Lord of Unx. How do you think it would fare in this deck?
If there are anything that you guys feel should be replaced for better options I can't wait to hear what those might be. Also any suggestions on helping my land base is fine too, budget isn't super important but I will likely be looking for things other than Underground Sea. Eventually I look to add this to the deck list. Thanks I look forward to any suggestions you all might have
I'm looking through other ideas to see what could fit the pillaging of opponents graveyards. I'm thinking to go a slight zombie route as it gives some good milling options for Lazav to target. Anyone have any suggestions or things I missed of things in my current list that are underwhelming as it is? I'm open to almost any idea considering price isn't too much to afford. Thanks!
I am petitioning for the removal of people who whine about mythic rarity. Sig this if you agree; they should just get over it. The mythic rarity serves to protect the price of rares that due to record printings are extremely lower than what they were during say, Ravnica block. Get a job.
I do like tunnel vision as it can be a very strong mill card. I've been debating on what I should cut for it. As for Oona, Queen of the Fae I worry that her exiling is counter productive to what Lazav is wanting to do, but she is a strong card. I may test her out to see if she works ok with the deck. I do need to put Mind Funeral in the list as I forgot about that card. Any ideas on what I could take out for them? Again thanks for the reply.
I felt that going with a small zombie theme that it would help with drawing with Graveborn Muse as well as an extra win condition with Lichlord of Unx and Undead Alchemist putting in zombies to drain life with. It helps to not rely on simply milling my opponent.
Tunnel Vision could hit very little or a lot of cards that Lazav could target so I felt I would try it out and see how it works. Yawgmoth's Will is typically just a good card but allowing me to play cards from my graveyard will give me extra mileage with my creatures or my milling/stealing spells. Let me know if anyone has any other suggestions that would help this idea out more. Thanks!
