Deck Description

Deck is about Anvil of Bogardan + Notion Thief combo. When both are in the field you can lockdown your opponent preventing him to draw new cards.

How to Play

Anvil of Bogardan + Notion Thief = Anvil makes opponents draw an extra card and discard a card in draw phase. Notion Thief makes him skip the extra draw. So he can not get any new spells unless he lose an old one. And you get an extra card in every opponent's turns. Beauty of this combo is all triggers happening in draw phase so opponent can't cast the new drawn spell even if it is an instant or have flash. He must directly discard it. (you know the rule, nobody can cast anything in the draw phase)

Baleful Strix + Runechanter's Pike = Baleful is a great card by itself but if you equip it with Pike it will became the ultimate blocker. While having Flying + Deathtouch + First Strike at the same time it can kill pretty much anything without dying. Since we have lots of instant/sorceries in the deck, in late game those two can be a great finisher.

Anvil of Bogardan + Liliana's Caress = Every discard cost opponent 2 lifes and Anvil make him discard every turn.

Duress + Inquisition of Kozilek + Hymn to Tourach = Protect your combo pieces and/or yourself from any unwanted spell by making opponent discard it before he has a chance to cast it. Also they are great for many combo decks. And finally when our combo goes off they are good for emptying the opponent's hand.

Recoil: I don't why but I like this card. It is one of my favorite mtg card. In here it also have some little synergy with the discard theme and Liliana's Caress. Furthermore if the opponent's hand is empty (with all the discard spells in the deck it is very likely ) Recoil becomes an instant speed Vindicate!

Impulse: Since this is a combo deck you must find the pieces of the combo. And digging for 4 cards with 2 mana at instant speed is more than welcomed. What I really like about impulse is; it makes you put the other 3 cards, which you don't need at the moment, on the bottom of your library - not at the top. So on your next turns you will not draw them. In my opinion this difference makes this card a real deck digger.
