Deck Description

A discard deck/Rack deck that uses....BLACK AND GREEN?!? BLASPHEMY!

How to Play

Why the hell would you do a green and black discard deck? Because it's the same hated rack, but now with more win cons! The primary win is through rack and discard, just discard early on and destroy their hand, slap down a rack or affliction, and watch them suffer while ripping apart the hand. A good combo for this is dakmor salvage and raven's crime, with life from the loam as well in case later they somehow draw cards. If this somehow fails, have no fear, Vraska is here. With no hand almost guaranteed with all this discard, she can pretty much save up for ulti with no fear and just own face. Also, kill spell on a stick works great for when they actually have a threat you don't like. This is also why you have abrupt decay, because you'll most likely need it at some point. Lord of extinction is your last resort, if you somehow lost all 8 racks, play him, and by then they should have no life or hand, and he should be HUGE, so just ask him to give them a push so they can fall and shatter like glass.

The sideboard is basically for when discard somehow doesn't work. Switch gears and add in your 7 other kills spells, throw in the Wight, and kill away to power him up, while forcing discard to add pressure. The cage is there because reanimator or something with grave control might show up, and discard kind of feeds that, so it's there to shut down those pesky decks.
