The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

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

A finely tuned discard engine. The breakdown of the chosen cards is as follows:
60% - discard and discard related damage
30% - damage as a result of having few or no cards in hand, or hand refill
10% - support/removal

Mulligan until you draw a Liliana's Caress. If that isn't possible, just throw discard at them early and let the other damage cards mop up. Don't forget that Sign in Blood can be a finisher in a close match, or put the cards in their hand you need to finish them. Burning Inquiry requires nothing but Caresses to deal damage (and don't forget that you can put two on the stack at once, so you can't accidentally discard an extra copy if you draw more than one.)

Nice deck, I found that it's game over before quest for the nihil stone does anything, have a look at Kederekt Creeper for abetter 1 drop imo =)

^ The games usually over before painful quandry hits the board, although it is a nice card and when against control it works rly well..

I am going to build extended discard deck, maybe I will take some inspiration from you, if it doesnt matter. On ext only card that not suits is Barbed Shocker. Maybe Hypnotic Specter would be good? What you think? (sorry for my english :D, i am from czech)

Thanks for the feedback!
@Burado - I agree that nihil stone is useless if I've already got the combo active, but I've had plenty of games in which I've burned their hands out and have no other way to hurt them.
Now, if I had a little cash, I'd like to use Guul Draz Specter and Nyxathid to finish an opponent after I've burned their hand out. Kederekt Parasite would be a little off theme, but it's certainly good enough. The cumulative damage might end up making a back up plan unnecessary.
@Javed - I hope my list is helpful! It's far from perfect, and when I built this deck, Barbed Shocker was extended legal. However, Time Spiral rotated, and that just means there's room for the other options I mentioned above. Hypnotic Specter is a classic discard staple, (random discard > any other form of discard), but you have to connect his damage somehow, whereas Liliana's Specter only needs to resolve. Also, Hippie is expensive. Good luck, and happy brewing!

I guessed about Gull Draz Specter, but it doesn't fit well for me, because of 4mana cost and I think that speed is big advantage of this deck. Because of that i think that Hypnotic Specter would be better discard (he has also random discard). And Nyxathid also can be good. In my opinion specter or nyxathid, depends on it if you have every game enough discard then nyxathid. If not, then specter to faster discard oponent. Thats my view on the replace on ext. Thanks for any advice.
