What it does
Whenever you commit a crime, put a +1/+1 counter on Lazav. Then you may exile a card from a graveyard. If a creature card was exiled this way, you may have Lazav become a copy of that card until end of turn. This ability triggers only once each turn. (Targeting opponents, anything they control, and/or cards in their graveyards is a crime.)

Where it came from
Lazav, Familiar Stranger was released in 2024 as part of the Magic: The Gathering set Outlaws of Thunder Junction. The card depicts a shapeshifter character originally introduced in the Ravnica block, now reimagined to fit the western-inspired aesthetic of the new plane. This version of the character was designed to emphasize its role as a master of disguise and information gathering, mechanics that allow players to play cards from their graveyards face down, effectively masking their true intentions.
The artwork for this card was created by Greg Staples, a veteran illustrator for the franchise. His interpretation leans into the noir-inspired, shadowy nature of the character while blending in the rugged, frontier-themed attire characteristic of the set's setting. Upon its release, the card received attention from competitive players for its unique graveyard interaction and its versatility within the Dimir-colored control archetypes, solidifying its place as a thematic highlight of the set.
