{"ops":[{"insert":"I made this deck when Lazav came out and haven't edited the deck since 2020. I plan to work on it a bit but it's purely a control combo deck that wants to pump creatures into your graveyard for Lazav to turn into to both protect themselves and deal with threats (with help from Dimir's wonderful counterspell and removal package) until you get a combo in the grave that kills players at a time.\n"}]}
