Deck overview

This deck is a Dimir Mill Control build centered around Lazav, Dimir Mastermind. Rather than relying on combat damage early, it fills opposing graveyards using passive engines like Mesmeric Orb and Ruin Crab, alongside heavy chunk mill spells like Fractured Sanity and Maddening Cacophony. Lazav exploits these milled cards by copying the most threatening creature an opponent discards or mills while retaining hexproof. As graveyards grow, payoffs like Consuming Aberration, The Scarab God, and Syr Konrad, the Grim scale rapidly into lethal board states. The deck finishes games around Turn 7 via Breach the Multiverse reanimating four massive threats, Syr Konrad pinging the table on mass mill resolutions, or assembling the lethal Bloodchief Ascension and Mindcrank infinite combo. A robust suite of low-cost interaction defends the pilot while navigating toward explosive late-game mana thresholds.
