Mazirek turns every sacrifice, by any player and of any permanent other than itself, into a +1/+1 counter on each creature the deck controls. The list feeds that with a steady stream of tokens and free sacrifice outlets, plus fetch-style lands, Treasures and land-sacrifice ramp. Symmetric edicts also make opponents feed the trigger. Counter doublers and counter-to-token engines snowball each sacrifice into a wider, bigger board, while death triggers draw cards and drain life along the way. How it wins: It overruns opponents with a huge counter-stacked board given trample, backed by aristocrat drains, or loops Herd Baloth's Beast tokens through Altar of Dementia with Mazirek for unlimited counters and mill. Key roles: - Sacrifice fodder: Token makers, persist and recursive bodies, and self-sacrificing ramp creatures supply a constant pool of things to throw away, each one a free Mazirek trigger (Awakening Zone, Mycoloth, Putrid Goblin). - Free sacrifice outlets and non-creature sacrifices: Repeatable outlets let every body be cashed in at instant speed for mana, scry or cards. Fetch lands, land-sacrifice ramp and Treasure tokens add Mazirek triggers from permanents that aren't creatures at all (Ashnod's Altar, Viscera Seer, Evolving Wilds). - Counter amplification and conversion: Doublers multiply each wave of counters, and other cards turn counters being placed into fresh creature tokens. Those tokens grow the board and refuel the sacrifice loop, which also powers the Altar of Dementia infinite (Corpsejack Menace, Winding Constrictor, Herd Baloth). - Symmetric edicts and theft: Each-player sacrifice effects strip opponents' blockers while their sacrifices still pump Mazirek's board. Tergrid steals any nontoken permanents they give up (Plaguecrafter, Butcher of Malakir, Tergrid, God of Fright). - Death-fueled value and drain: Creatures dying draw cards, make mana and drain opponents, so the sacrifice engine pays for itself and chips in reach (Skullclamp, Zulaport Cutthroat, Poison-Tip Archer). - Trample finishers: Effects that grant trample to countered creatures, or pump the whole team, let the oversized board punch through chump blockers to close the game (Kodama of the West Tree, Overwhelming Stampede, Duskshell Crawler).
