Character Background
Lazav, the Multifarious is the kind of patient predator that thrives in the shadows of your own graveyard, rewarding you for planning ahead rather than reacting late. When he enters, you surveil 1, setting up incremental fuel for the shapeshifting threat to come; then you pay {X} to turn Lazav into any creature card in your graveyard with mana value X—keeping your identity as “Lazav” while gaining the copied card’s abilities. In practice, this supports a control-leaning, value/combo-adjacent game plan: you aim to stock the graveyard early with efficient creatures, then use the right X at the right time to blank removal, end games with unexpected inevitability, or recreate key effects repeatedly. Build to maximize targets—run surveil or discard outlets and creatures that die profitably—and prioritize single-card value engines (Self-mill, Thought Scour, or dredge-like support) so Lazav always has something worth copying.
