Update: After several playtests, it turns out that the deck has more of a mill theme than I was expecting. I've started swapping out Lazav, Dimir Mastermind with Scarab God depending on whether I think my opponent or playgroup is running creature heavy decks. This strategy seems to work well in duplicating their strongest creatures and smacking them for nice bits of damage.

Also noticed that Phenax, God of Deception works as a great finisher to quickly knock out someone's library. By having Lazav become a creature with a large toughness, I can mill them much faster. Scarab God is great for that as well but takes a bit of time to exile one creature at a time and they only have a toughness of 4 when exiled with Scarab God. But exiling things and having additional 4/4's to use as mill pieces gets overwhelming fast. At any rate, having all 3 of these titans on the field at the same time is a devastating board state for my opponent and I can do a lot of damage if it ends up like that.

Wheel effects are super value like Jace's Archivist. It is slower than my more competitive decks but the mana base is stable and it allows for plenty of interaction to keep things interesting and enjoyable (while they're getting milled heavily).

The theme I was originally going for is to be zero threats in the deck... just steal or clone all of my opponents.

The maybeboard is super long because I'm still finessing certain cards and tuning the power level appropriate to my play group. This will be my friendliest deck.

As always suggestions welcome and remember to give a +1!!
