Lazav Keeps a Low Profile
Lazav, Wearer of Faces rewards a patient pilot. On attack he strips a card from a graveyard and creates a Clue, turning opponent resources into your long term options. The process is efficient. Exiling a creature lets you copy that card later when you sacrifice a Clue, so Lazav functions as both graveyard interaction and a conditional toolbox for copying threats already used in the game.
Play him in decks that value incremental advantage and flexible answers. He fits well in control shells that probe the graveyard, and in midrange lists that can leverage copied bodies for tempo. The flavor is neat without getting in the way of playability. Lazav behaves like a detective in play and in story using what he finds to become someone else for a turn.
