I've startet this deck being Sheoldred the commander...but then I was thinking playing a mono-colored commander deck could be boring (for me).
So I startet searching and found Mazirek. I know black and green is the color of the Golgari swarm but I
didn't wanted to open this theme. I just wanted to find cards with good working synergies for Mazireks ability.
And know being finished I am wondering if it is "too much"...?
I'm not that experienced in building decks...so I hope, that you guys can help me out.
For your information: This is more or less a budget deck!

Forcing other players to sacrifice: Sheoldred, Whispering One, Butcher of Malakir, Gatekeeper of Malakir, Geth's Verdict, Vona's Hunger

Mazireks counter ability: Corpsejack Menace, Winding Constrictor, Ridgescale Tusker, Renegade Krasis

And here I startet asking myself if it is not too much...?

Sacrificing own creatures: Demon of Catastrophes, Westvale Abbey  , Demonlord of Ashmouth

Creatures for sacrificing: Butcher Ghoul, Doomed Dissenter, Dread Wanderer, Tattered Mummy

A "dying synergie": Blood Artist, Falkenrath Noble, Sangromancer

Just to have some fun: Archetype of Finality, Avatar of Woe+Thornbite Staff, Ob Nixilis, the Fallen, Elbrus, the Binding Blade  , Army of the Damned

I hope someone can help me out to get focused and not to have too many "gears" working

And...sorry for my bad English.
