Don Meredith, the struggling playwright who wrote the work in which Sylvia wishes to star, also masquerades as a famous writer at the party in order to prove that the central thesis of his play is valid: that one can pose in any role in high society and get away with it.
Sylvia, introduced as the widow of Captain Milton Brown, falls in love with Don, but her joy turns to panic when her supposedly dead husband suddenly appears.
The amused captain allows Sylvia to continue her impersonation for a time but advises her to leave the party. Don, heartbroken, also leaves, but after several adventures in which he helps Sylvia retrieve papers stolen during the party by a German spy, the two lovers are reunited in their true identities, and the play debuts successfully.

Today, we will be focusing on Mairsil, the Pretender , a legendary creature from all the way back in the Commander set of preconstructed decks.
You can find the link to our deck-to-tech on TappedOut, by clicking here. Mairsil, the Pretender is the thorn in the side of most any deck. As a commander, Mairsil specializes in combo play, generally lending himself well to a toolbox of denial that quickly weaves itself into a win condition or three.
As such, Mairsil's wincons can range anywhere from a mass-scoop-by-attrition to a methodical, yet swift, picking off of the rest of the table, one by one.
Mairsil, the Pretender's deck style, in more blatant terms, is dictated by Mairsil himself. The "Great Pretender" exiles a creature or artifact from its controller's hand or graveyard when he enters the battlefield and puts a cage counter on it. From there on in, Mairsil gains the ability to use any of the exiled cards' activated abilities once per turn per ability.
This applies even if Mairsil leaves play and re-enters due to any reason! As such, the exiled zone tends to become known by many as "the cage" where those cards are concerned. As is customary of these deck techs, we will be picking out a few of the key cards that allow Mairsil, the Pretender to prosper. These cards exist in the deck to fulfill primary functions, but can also, ideally, fill multiple other roles as well. Without further ado, here's a small list of great cards in this deck.
Named after Ringworld writer Larry Niven — or, as one may presume, his Bizzaro-world counterpart — Nevinyrral's Disk is a card that works wonders in any deck as a hard reset on most permanents on the battlefield. However, what sets it back quite a bit is its downside of coming onto the battlefield tapped.
Where Mairsil is concerned, the card is less important than its own activated ability. Mairsil, a creature that steals all activated abilities of the cards it exiles, does not come into play tapped, and, as such, can use the Disk's ability as soon as it doesn't have summoning sickness.
It's important for Mairsil players to have two very important redundancies in their arsenal: haste-enablers to circumvent any summoning sickness this is ideally going to come from an activated ability of a creature or an artifact if possible, although cards like Anger can help here too , and extended flicker abilities, such as those belonging to AEtherling.
