Strategy

The deck "Mirko, Obsessive Theorist" in Commander format focuses on milling your opponents' libraries, utilizing cards like Mirko himself, Lazav the Multifarious, Baleful Strix, and Nightveil Sprite to continuously mill cards from their libraries. The strategy is to control the board with counterspells, removal, and card advantage engines like Dogged Detective and Sinister Starfish, while setting up your milling pieces to win the game by decking your opponents. The good points of this deck include its ability to disrupt opponents' game plans by milling key cards, generating card advantage through creatures like Baleful Strix and card engines like Enhanced Surveillance, and having a resilient commander in Mirko. The deck also has access to powerful graveyard recursion spells like Reanimate and Necromancy to bring back key creatures or disrupt opponents' strategies. However, the deck may struggle against aggressive strategies due to its focus on control and mill rather than traditional creature-based strategies. Additionally, graveyard hate can be a weakness for this deck, so cards like Bojuka Bog may cause problems if opponents target your graveyard. Overall, the Mirko, Obsessive Theorist deck can be a fun and unique way to play Commander, offering a different win condition through milling your opponents' libraries while providing a mix of control, recursion, and card advantage to support your game plan.
