MTG Salvation

Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest

Okay so I started a Golgari deck thread a couple days ago as I did not have a general in mind. Now I have settled on Mazirek. (Wile Skullbriar was interesting Mazirek just seems more fun, that's what i get for already having a Voltron deck. Maybe I will make skullbriar in the future)

Anyway the best part about Mazirek is that it doe snot matter what gets sacrificed nor who sacrifices it. (Meaning I will shut down most meren decks as while they get creatures back, they have to give me counters)

What I want to do is find ways that force opponents to sac things. Be it Gree, Black or colorless, if it can make my opponent sacrifice stuff let me now what it is. This deck is going to aim to force my opponenst to lose everything they worked hard to cast. So help is appreciated.

Hmm, interestng idea brewing Assault Suit plus a massive Death cloud.

Any sac outlet + any creature with Persist goes infinite. Combine with Dictate or Grave Pact. If you're really looking to cause trouble, make Puppeteer Clique what you're sacrificing for the loop.

I think you need 2 persist creatures.
-Sac
-All crature get +1/+1
-Perist takes effect.

You're wrong. Both Mazirek and persist trigger at the same time. You control both triggers, so you stack them how you want. Put Mazirek on the stack followed by persist and your persist creature is back on board by the time Mazirek's trigger resolves.

oh cool.

Yeah just stack triggers and profit. Of course looping anything like this, even if you don't have Grave Pact or anything else gives you an arbitrarily large commander with flying so everything else is just a bonus.
