Waste Not / 8Rack

by UniSonBBS on 02 May 2014

Main Deck (61 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Instants (6)


Artifacts (3)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Deck I plan to play at the Grand Prix Boston

How to Play

Turn (1) = Thoughtseize, Inquisition, Raven's Crime
Turn (2) = Waste Not / Liliana's Curess
Turn (3) = Wrench Mind+Burning Inquiry / Blightning
Alt Turn (3) = Another Waste Not / Liliana's Curess followed by Burning or another one drop.

Turn (3) Potential Damage = 2 Liliana's followed by Burning = 12 Damage
Turn (3) Potential Damage = 2 Liliana's followed by Blightning = 7 Damage (discard 2)

Bridges are not main board. If creatures are concerning find room for them I guess in main board.

Welcome to any thoughts on this deck.

Deck discussion for Waste Not / 8Rack

Interesting deck! I've been wanting to build a RB discard deck for awhile, since hearing about Waste Not. :)
Have you considered a copy of Rakdos' Return for if your opponent has too many cards in hand? Or perhaps a Reforge the Soul to replenish your hand AND your opponent's hand for you to kill?

The only problem is that 8-racks worst match ups are aggro decks, you have 0 ways to interact with them pre-board, and not much more post board.

I agree aggro is difficult, but I feel discard is pretty much all or nothing. I changed my sideboard around.

Torpor & Illness for Twin, Torpor for Pod, Affinity Ill try Shrivel, Blood moon for Tron and Leyline for Red Deck Wins

Discard is more of a control strat. Hand control.
these games aren't going to be over as fast as you think they will be.
I would probably use Smallpox in place of blightning.

When is the GP? and let me know how you do.

GP is 7/25. Pox is definitely nice but I usually place myself at 3 land and pitch the rest to ravens crime. I originally built this deck as I hated losing to UW control and combo when I played Junk.
