“Repeatable mill engine that gradually decks opponents out.”
Ambassador Laquatus is a repeatable mill engine that slowly grinds opponents' libraries away while sitting back as a modest blocker. Your gameplan revolves around activating his ability multiple times per turn cycle, ideally generating extra mana or reducing the activation cost to mill faster. Since mill is a long game, you'll pair him with card draw, mana acceleration, and other mill effects to close out games before running out of steam yourself.
The deck wants to survive the early game and set up a mana-efficient mill engine by mid-game. You'll run cards that discount his ability, generate extra mana per turn, or benefit from the mill triggers themselves—think cards that care about graveyard filling or opponent card draw. Win by decking your opponents out, occasionally backed up by a small combat plan if you have flyers or evasive creatures.

Skip expensive utility lands; Evolving Wilds, Terramorphic Expanse, and basic Islands work fine. Swap pricey mill cards like Fraying Sanity for cheaper alternatives like Glimpse the Unthinkable or Crypt Incursion.
