![]() ![]() Dralnu, Lich Lord to flashback the tutor. ![]() Aetherling to cage additional cards and avoid removal.With an empty cage, my go to is one of these: Intuition and buried alive have 0 drawback because Mairsil can cage from the graveyard, but rarely set up a winning cage stack by themselves. Thassa, Deep-Dwelling cages 1 card/turn, and can prevent attacks in a pinch.Pendant of Prosperity see you as the owner and the controller, so it's 2: draw 2 and play 2 lands.Keeping Mairsil in play can also be difficult, so there are a large number of protection abilities to regenerate, gain shroud, become land, flicker, undie, or just make an new Mairsil. This is obviously slower, so the deck needs to have a decent control game, which is accomplished with Nevinyrral's Disk, Perilous Vault, and Oblivion Stone as repeated boardwipes from Mairsil as well as repeatable targeted removal. I know that the most efficient combos for Mairsil use Gilded Lotus, but that's a bit too straightforward so instead I use Lotus Bloom, Soldevi Adnate, Astral Cornucopia, and/or Empowered Autogenerator. The goal of the deck is to set up a convoluted combo using only my commander, emphasis on convoluted. For example, Commander's Sphere + Cauldron of Souls is some good card advantage with a way to reset counters like Carnifex Demon or Endling. An important concept for this deck is that when Mairsil changes zones, it's now a new object and therefore can use each ability once more. The only card that needs to resolve all game is Mairsil, the Pretender, and I regularly have 8 cards in exile to puzzle over engines with. Mairsil can also subvert expectations, typically when my opponents see Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon or Kozilek, the Great Distortion get exiled. Mairsil, the Pretender is a commander that can take bad cards, which in nearly any other deck would have massive drawbacks, and extract powerful engines or effects. This list is being posted for record keeping, but feel free to comment.
