This deck wavers between mill, re-animator, and voltron strategies (with a bit of a clone sub-theme), and is a ton of fun to pilot.

The basic gist is to deal commander damage with Lazav by milling out big evasive creatures from opponents decks. Clones and creatures stolen from graveyards provide additional offense and defense.

There are a few packages that were cut from the deck, but could be slotted back in:

SWORDS

Add Sword of Body and Mind, Sword of Feast and Famine, Sword of War and Peace, etc. Add a few extra evasion creatures to pick up those swords while Lazav is snoring, Invisible Stalker works wonders, as do man-lands and robot rocks like Creeping Tar Pit, Faerie Conclave, and Dimir Keyrune.

COFFERS

Add Cabal Coffers and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth (and possibly Magus of the Coffers). This can fuel any number of spells with X in the casting cost (like Mind Grind, Blue Sun's Zenith, or a freshly-slotted Increasing Confusion). Other cards with good Urborg synergy include Crypt Ghast, Filth, Lashwrithe, Mutilate, and Liliana of the Dark Realms

OTHER

There's a nice synergy between Reassembling Skeleton and Undercity Informer that might work if the deck were more focused on milling. On a related note, Undead Alchemist goes nicely with Army of the Damned or Rise from the Grave

An Elixir of Immortality might not be a bad idea, come to think of it.
