This is my first EDH deck, after not playing Magic for 15 years. So no doubt, it will need a lot of work. I borrowed a lot of ideas from the other guys building Mazirek decks, like IpCrash3r. Suggestions are welcome. The idea is just to have a lot of synergies, and the occasional game-ending combo (i.e. Persist, Mazirek, & sac outlets).

I could definitely use suggestions on rounding out the mana curve, or protecting against milling. I was wondering if there are graveyard tricks like Champion of Stray Souls that could turn things into a win?

Any thoughts and suggestions are welcome!
