Deck Description

Megrim decks are old school, and since you're also involving Warped Devotion, you want an equal balance of bounce and discard. The thing is about a discard deck is that you attempt to empty your opponent's hand, and they realizes this and try to play their best stuff. The second function is to attempt to bounce whatever they drop or counter whatever they have to disrupt your board.

Megrim - key to the deck

Warped Devotion - Nice to have, compliment's Megrim

Recoil - Perfect for this deck

Countersquall - I like this card a lot, 2 life loss for non-creature spells. This will protect your Megrim or Warped Devotion. However, it only counters non-creatures. Something like Perplex is very good at regular counter and if they really want the spell they must discard their hand.

Washout - Mass bounce is nice, but running 4 is not wise. They are a bit expensive, but worth it. Combos nicely with Warped Devotion. The one thing you have to watch out for is when someone plays Blue or Black and you can't afford to bounce your own stuff.

Echoing Truth - great card, even though multiples probably won't be out, if they are, it's even better.

Snap is also an awesome and 'free' spell.

Barrin's Spite is also nice against creatures.

Hymn to Tourach is amazing in any discard deck.

Funeral Charm is one of the very few instant speed discard cards.

Misery Charm is also a nice black shock.

Hypnotic Specter - Classic, must have.

Accumulated Knowledge - Drawing cards is good.

Parasitic Strix - Not discard or bounce, but effective and a blocker.

Dimir Cutpurse - Nice card, well balanced, but easily blocked or killed. You don't want to add cards just to make it easy for him to get through, and if all you want to do is draw then try using Syphon Mind. Or at least have it sideboard for a multi-player game.

Shadowmage Infiltrator - Awesome card, he stays.

Another very interesting card to consider for drawing is Geth's Grimoire
