Lazav, Wearer of Faces slips into play as a utility piece for graveyard interaction and incremental card advantage. In attacking it exiles a card from any graveyard and creates a Clue token, giving you a repeatable window to turn graveyard threats into board answers. Experienced players will value the timing and information trade offs when choosing which card to exile and when to cash in the Clue.
The second clause turns sacrificed Clues into deception. You may have Lazav become a copy of a creature card exiled with that Clue until end of turn, which enables surprise blockers or sudden offensive shifts. This is a solid tool in tempo oriented blue black builds that exploit the graveyard and benefit from adaptable bodies on the battlefield.
