Deck Description

Discard deck , with a splash of blue por control and bounce your own creatures to hand.

its a fun deck , its casual , it got a lot of fun mechanics involoving returning creatures to your hand , for play them agiant to trigger their "when comes into play" triggered abilities

How to Play

the idea is to discard heavily the first turns , you can control the board of creatures with gatekeeper + cavern harpy or doomsday spectre , other option for board control is the balefoul stryx with the longbow and for the early game of targeted treats , the doomblade.

most of the creatures triggers something when entering the battlefield , so the idea is to block with cavern harpy the fattys hitout trample , return harpy to hand , and play it bouncing something you need ( for killing gatekeeper , for discard , rats , for searching the rack or long bow trinket mage , for returning a creature form graveyard , cadaver imp , and for draw a card , balefoul stryx)

the viridian longbow main function , is to be equiped on the baleful strix , for instant killing creatures in play , if you dont have the balefoul , yo can equip it to the hypnotic specter for dealing 1 dmg to opponent and discard a random card (in case your oponent has blockers with reach or fliying)

Deck discussion for Discard/Control UB

I've versed decks like this, and they are devastating to say the least. This deck has A LOT of potential, but i would personally swap out ravenous rats for drainpipe vermin.

Thanks for the comment! i use ravenous instead drainpies because doomsday spectre , with him i can return ravenpus to my hand and play them again .Drainpipes are good but i cant activate its ability more than once , and the ravenous can trigger twice or more.

its a casual deck , but has potential and its fun

one black mana drop could very very usefeull in this mana curve , i havent tested the drainpies but they look good .

the good thing of the doomsday spectre is that he can back trigger trinket mage , ravenous rats and cloud of fairies , thats the reason he is in the deck a very good bet is the cavern harpy in the main instead of doomsday spectre

i also dont think you really need viridian longbow, as one damage is only enough to destroy very weak creatures, but stuff like go for the throat can take out almost any creature.

the viridian longbow is mostly there for vampire nightwawk i will edit the play section .

nighwaks deathtouch make 1 damage enough to kill mostly everything

and with both spectres , they can damage even if the player can block , triggering their abilityes .

also it can be tutored with trinklet mage

you suggestions are welcome! im only explaining the logic behind my choices , the idea is a discard deck , and make advantage of returning creatures to my hand , the rats you mentioned are good , go for the throar is in the sideboard in the case the combo dont work

i saw your deck , seems the type of decks that i like , fun and card drawning , but i dont have mucho to say about it , cause i dindt played with the evolove mechanics . i know that coatl + card drowers is a very effective thing

i didnt knew that card , is awesome , so many thanks , discards decks have 2 dissadventages : very fast aggro decks , and card -drawers and that dude neutralizes the card drowers ,im adding it to sideboard many thanks!!

anothe original pick that i dindt consider beacause is rare to find and expensive is the balefoul strix ,he draws a card when enters play , and has deathtouch for the longbow
