Deck overview

This deck is a high-synergy Voltron-reanimator strategy commanded by Lazav, the Multifarious. The game plan revolves around rapidly stocking the graveyard with specialized utility and high-power creature cards, allowing Lazav to shift identities at instant speed. By stacking abilities on the stack—such as gaining unblockable and hexproof from Invisible Stalker, infect from Vector Asp, and massive power boosts from Wall of Blood, The Ancient One, or Eater of Days—the deck can eliminate an opponent in a single combat step with 10 poison counters. Setup begins on Turn 2 with Lazav, followed by graveyard tutoring via Buried Alive or Entomb on Turn 3, reaching a critical onset attack on Turn 5. The deck eliminates opponents sequentially across Turns 5 through 7. Its main strengths are instant-speed removal dodging and a resilient backup plan in Necrotic Ooze, while its primary vulnerabilities are targeted graveyard hate, sacrifice edicts, and the multi-turn combat requirement to defeat all three opponents.
