This deck is rather straightforward; mill out your opponents. Rather than going for typical Johnny Combos, I'm building pure synergy. Sort of a "mill aggro" style, where the mill just keeps going.

Why isn't my commander Szadek or Circu? Because they only do what the deck already does. By using Lazav, I can either ignore him as a commander completely, or drop him on the table to take advantage of the mill that's already happening.

The goal is to cripple opponents' combos (I play in a very Johnny-heavy meta) while I hold out to finish up with Mind Grind. Psychic Spiral and Havengul Lich exist to punish people for milling me out in turn.
