by Jestrix on 19 October 2012

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Instants (3)


Artifacts (1)


Enchantments (1)

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

Standard Discard deck. Is it playable? Any input is, as always, very welcome.

EDIT:
After Snakes nice link to Chris Cornwells similar deck I totally understood what I was after.
I've used a lot of his setup now, but I'm thinking a bit different.


Now, SIDEBOARD.
I will try to make a sideboard that, just like Chris's deck goes even heavier into control and graveyard sweeping.

Hope to get loads of more input here so this can become truly viable.

Deck discussion for Bite the Hand that Feeds

I find that stab wound isnt a very good win condition. They will most certainly block with the wounded creature just to get it out of the way, so its a 3cmc "deal 2 damage, kil the creature next turn" basically, and thats optimistically, if they are killing it themselves. Id say just replace it with a kill spell (ultimate price perhaps, even murder).

If you want the discard route, your going to need some more enablers, perhaps distress for targeted hand destruction, but I see shrieking affliction as a very weak rack, probably not the best win condition either.

The pack rat on the other hand, I can get behind. Hes an ever growing army by himself and incredibly hard to get rid of (outside detention sphere/supreme verdict.). The cathedrals of war might not be the best option if hes the focus, since his strength is attacking with alot of him. Can probably sub out the cathedrals, couple swamps, and splash some red for slaughter games on side board and some burn to keep the board clear for your pack rat.

You're probably right about the Stab Wound, and splashing red isn't a bad idea (then I could have Dreadbore instead I guess)

The Cathedrals, well, yes you want to attack with many Packrats but you might not always have many of them and then the cathedral is a bit of help.. but I see your point. And if I splash red I will need the space for Skullsumit.

I'll think about if I want to focus more on the straight up damage from burn + PAck Rat, or the Discard. hmmm..

Interesting, and cool. Love the name, you get a like just for being creative.

No interest in going with some red to get Rakdos's Return, it could help with shrieking affliction.
This is interesing tech, I would take a look at this video it runs a semi-similar idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vRv8BAC8zw, I put up list here also: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=395997

Nice vid, awesome to see a Pro having the same idea and seeing the way he builds it deffo gave me some new ideas! Thanks a lot for this Snake :)

Oh and thanks for the +1 for Creativity, I always try to name my decks with some thought behind the name (just check my deck library ;)

I'll have a look at yours and return the favor (if I can) :)
