So the deck actually runs really solidly. As for using Mirko over any of the lazavs. I personally feel that when using cards exclusively from the dimir guild, it's much easier to focus on the milling aspect of black/blue than with the creature resurgence or graveyard manipulation. Lazav, The Multifarious doesn't do much except wait for creatures to hit your graveyard and much the same for Lazav, Dimir Mastermind. It much more waiting with them than with Mirko.
In my mind, Dimir doesn't care about dealing commander damage or even much damage at all to win. They care about milling someone to death. And the best way to do that is to poke them with your flying commander and force them to mill until they hit 4 lands. worst case scenario, you just mill 4 lands in a row and thats all. but that's 4 lands they don't have anymore and they probably needed those.

The tenth, and final, in a 10 part series where I go through each card with a guild signet on it and build a deck out of only those cards.

Rules for construction for each guild deck were as follows:
1. The only cards allowed in the deck are cards with guild signets on them.
2. The only exception to this rule are cards that are that are intrinsically tied to the lore of the guild (such as Planeswalkers or cards printed outside of Ravnica sets that draw heavily on guild thematics.)
3. "of the Guildpact" artifacts are allowed in each deck as each guild is tied to the Guildpact. The same applies to the card Transguild Promenade and Gateway Plaza.

The Maybeboard is used for cards from the guild that didn't quite make the cut because of various reasons.

As always, let me know if I missed a card somewhere.

Basic Deck Rundown:
Cast Instants and Sorceries.
Cast them again.
Keep casting.
Do you have creatures out? Now they're big from casting Instants and Sorceries.
Did you remember to cast your Instants and Sorceries?
Best cast some more, just to make sure.
