Commander: Lazav, Familiar Stranger

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Lazav, Familiar Stranger leads a Dimir crime-mill deck that uses every crime trigger to fill graveyards, grow a copycat threat, and eventually convert those graveyards into a mass-mill kill. The primary path is incremental: commit crimes with cheap targeting spells and activated abilities, copy large evasive creatures with Lazav, and use The Mindskinner or a combination of Singularity Rupture plus Riverchurn Monument's exhaust to finish. Secondary paths are commander damage from copies of Inkwell Leviathan/Scion of Darkness and a big Consuming Aberration. There is no true hidden commander; Taskmaster and The Mindskinner are highlight pieces rather than the core. The commander is a flexible enabler, but the deck can still operate through other crime payoffs.
