This is my first attempt and a Mairsil deck that is aimed twards Semi-Casual, but mostly fun play (While trying to stay as budget as I can). Instead of looking for possible infinite combos, I instead looked for fun ways to abuse her without breaking her. Cards like Arcanis the Omnipotent , Empress Galina , Geth, Lord of the Vault , Infernal Denizen , Memnarch , Phyrexian Devourer , and even Kozilek, the Great Distortion are all very, VERY good activated abilities that can be encoded onto Mairsil.

You might notice that lots of the good activated abilities require Mairsil to tap, so we need cards like Morphling , Torchling , and Phyrexian Colossus as options for her to untap herself. Thousand-Year Elixir and Magewright's Stone also do it for very cheap. Also, cards like Basalt Monolith and Dreamstone Hedron are also good weither or not they have cage counters on them.

One problem with Mairsil is that she can only exile one artifact/creature per ETB, so to attempt to fix this I added a couple cards like Ghostly Flicker , Conjurer's Closet , and Blade of Selves because its interaction with legendary creatures is hilariously good here. Being able to encode multiple abilities onto Mairsil is very important because you can milk her for more in a turn.
