"Why so serious?

By nature, Mairsil is a weird commander that requires some specific builds to be effective. While is just short of being a powerful competitive commander due to his need to have an aggressive start, a good Doomsday+ Laboratory Maniac combo can fix most problems pretty effectively.

The main focus of the deck is to control opponents and defend yourself until you can combo off using the multitude of combo pieces available in the deck.
