Merieke Ri Berit built from my old Lazav, Dimir Massmill deck. I found the deck was ultimately rather boring to play. I was never quite satisfied with the whole "milling my opponents" stratergy, so it was basically a U/B shell that would durdle around before a large Mind Grind to close out the game. It was a one trick pony and as I said boring to play.

However, one thing I did enjoy from the deck was the Clone and "theft" effects that I added. So, with that in mind, I've decided to expand upon Lazav and re-purpose a lot of his old cards in a new deck, this one. The deck is designed to hinder and grind out my opponents by turning their own resources against them through a variety of clone, theft and reanimation effects. Of course, the deck should be able to win on it's own, but that is the primary focus of the deck.

Some constructive critisim would be appreciated, especially with theft effects that I've missed. This is a new deck so I am looking for cards to cut to make it to the legal 100. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks for reading! :)
