Notes after playtesting 2 games against Colas (Zegana):
- Need more removal, or ways to prevent opponents from attacking to early (such as Propaganda)
- Ways to discard/cycle my own hand when needed earlier / more often or tutors
- Less mill, more draw/discard?
- Mana base seems OK
- Brainstorm is awesome
- Snappy and Archy are very helpful

Some tips:
- Play cards with flashback or other forms of recursion since I will end up putting a lot of cards in my own graveyard too.
Sébastien Michel | 25-Aug-2014 10:29

Main Strategy:
- Put creatures in graveyard by discarding/milling/destroying, copy them with Lazav and swing.
Additional strategies:
- Hurt players the more they discard/draw/mill/search their libraires
- Additional copy effects
- Reanimation
