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.
