Lazav is, like most Dimir legendaries, an astounding card. It seems that this is to make up for the lower quality in the majority of Dimir cards (hidden strings, midnight recovery). But the thing about Lazav is that you need to be able to send your opponents' creatures to the graveyard. Enter the classic Dimir theme of depletion.
Dimir's main theme is to send your opponents' cards straight from the library to the grave, something which is crucial to Lazav. The only alternative is to destroy your opponents' creatures when they're already on the battlefield. Counter spells work too.
But if your opponent is playing an instant and sorcery deck, Lazav is pretty much useless. Hexproof is nie against that, but 3/3 is weak in comparison to pretty much everything that's 4 or more mana.
In conclusion, Lazav is a great creature, but it's best if you know what you're opponent's going to do.
