Deck Description

I found this commander at the bottom of a pile of cards. Lonely and crying she shied away as I tried to pick her up. She had obviously been neglected for years and years. I asked her, "What is wrong, little bug?" In a meek little voice she answered, "No one will let me command their deck. I wanted to help them, I would let them have extra cards, but that wasn't enough."

My heart filled with sadness. I looked down at her, a corner bent, her color faded, and I said, "Don't worry, I will let you command, and we will make them pay!"

It did not take long for Xira to shed her husk of sadness and embrace the sweet darkness of vengeance. If no one wanted to let her help them draw cards, no one would be allowed to keep their cards. She would see to it that the cards in their hands were weapons she would use to burn them.

She brought with her creatures that reveled in the thought of being tossed away, the madness it brought only served to strengthen them. She would cast powerful enchantments that would burn the players of simply playing a game against her.

All the while she let me have a card each turn. Because I cared enough to hold her, and maybe, just every once in a while, tap her. o.O

How to Play

Hate your opponents. That is how you play this deck.

Havoc Festival + Would Reflection - HAHAHA

Honestly there is a lot of combo fun in there, but Havoc Festival and WOund Reflection. WTF? makes you want to build a RWB deck with those two cards, tutors, and enchantment protection.

Decks designed to make your opponents discard to death are not usually very successful in my experience, so this one is about making them have no cards, and following that up with pain. Lots and lots of pain.

Deck discussion for Xira's Revenge

Temporal Extortion ? IDK what to tell you beyond that. I would like to see you skip your turn or at least your draw phase, I know I listed a card that allows for a possible extra turn and I could be confusing by saying skip no wait take an extra turn. Gathan Raider, Exquisite Blood, Leyline of the void, Null brooch and Bloodgift demon. Is it safe for you to draw cards? Do you care if you have a hand? Depending on how you answer I could offer up a few more cards but I will give you time to think about it. Another different deck, it's hard for me to give you help cause this deck is kinda outta left field if you know what I mean.

Gathas Raider is a good creature for this deck.! And null brooch is flipping perfect! That reminds me of scroll rack from back in the day as well! And library of leng. I was thinking of pulling the deck in a more control direction. Bloodgift demon and leyline are solid additions..

Right now the deck is pretty much based around the idea that everyone is going to discard, I just plan on being able to use it to my advantage. As the deck is built now I am intending to empty my hand, but I'm trying to be sure to be able to draw when I need to.

I considered exquisite blood, but dropped it because of all the life gain prevention in the deck. Made room for other things.

I really like the idea of this deck, but it's rough. I am going to update tomorrow using some ideas you gave me. The story of this deck is based on true events (I really did just stumble on this card in a bargain bin, and had a strong desire to see her reap havoc I on a commander board for the disgrace), and as such I do plan on giving it some attention. Thanks for the input!

Hell yeah, I wish I had found that insect queen in the bargain bin I would have scooped it up, it's ultra nutty good. Of course I would have different plans for her, instead of making people discard I would make a draw deck with her at the helm. Geez what a rookie I am, I looked at the no life gain in the deck and still added that card to my last comment. You might want to check but I think when I last looked at the rules even though you don't have any cards in hand you still have a hand and you can still discard cards from a 0 card hand. You might want to double check that though.
