How Mirri the Cursed decks play in EDH

Mirri the Cursed is a mono-black commander costing 2BB, and its legendary creature - vampire cat line shapes the whole deck around it. It cares about +1/+1 counters, so counter-doubling effects and creatures that grow on their own carry the deck. The payoff is combat damage, so evasion and extra-combat effects matter more than raw power. The cards below are the ones Mirri the Cursed decks actually play most often, grouped by the job they do.
