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 discussion for Discard , needs help! Comment!

I've seen a lot of decks like this, and they're very fun to play. The main problem I see usually (including a little here) is that there's too many cards that only are effective if they keep discarding (such as Megrim, Liliana's Caress) or that become under-par if the opponent doesn't keep discarding (Sangromancer, Abyssal Nocturnus). The main issue with these decks is that it's easy to get the opponent to 0 cards, since they'll be only drawing 1/turn, and they'll be playing some of those cards. Once that happens, they won't discard as often, and these cards will become useless.

It's important to get some good discarders that can strike first turn (Inquisition of Kozilek is great), and maybe some things that can tame the field and destroy the creatures they've gotten out before you killed their hand.

I would suggest adding four Inquisition of Kozilek, add one or two more Quests (because those are quick kills once you're in control of the game), and maybe 5-7 removal cards (Go For The Throat and Smother are two good ones usually). You can remove Megrim and Liliana's Caress (or maybe put them in the sideboard against control decks that refill their hands), and maybe trade a couple of your creatures (since they can only come out later game) for early game discarders (Ravenous Rats, Black Cat, etc.) so that you have a small body that can block their early game, while still getting a discard out of it.

If you'd like to make this Modern legal (for any competitive play), the Dark Rituals can be traded out for some more control ability (more turn one discards, possibly). Good luck!

Okay, guy, what are you looking for?
Vintage and Legacy discard?
Pure control? Pure discard?
Will tell you this...stuff like Recoil/Washout/Urza's Guilt does not work.
And this is where I will get at least 3 people disagree with me, Rack. Megrim. Liliana's Caress. Painful Quandary does not work.
They are way too slow!!
So is a lot of control cards. You need just one or two, maybe.
Same thing with creatures, only one or two is needed.
And your mana curve, you need only 3-6 cards that cost 4 or 6 mana. Most of your cards should be 1st turn and 2nd turn discard cards.
