How to Play

Ok so turn one we want to play a land and a Thoughtseize taking note of their hand. Turn two another land and Waste Not. Turn 3 another land and Master of the Feast, Turn 4 another land and a mind rot and maybe another Thoughtseize. This should give us a few Waste Not triggers giving us Zombie tokens, card draw, or Mana. If we get mana then we'd like to cast Whip of Erebos. This way on the next turn we have the option to sac Master of the Feast to Tormented Thoughts. Which would discard whatever is left in their hand giving us more waste not triggers. Then next turn we can whip him back and swing for 5 in the air. Then we'd like to get out another Master or a Liliana's Reaver. Liliana's Reaver is good because it has Deathtouch and most people will leave it alone to save their own creatures. This is good because we've kept making them discard so they shouldn't have much on the board. We want either Master of The Feast down or Liliana's Reaver or both along with Whip of Erebos and Waste not when we cast Gray Merchant of Asphodel. This gives us 7 to 9 devotion to activate with Gray. If we already used the Master/Whip combo then we should have dealt 12 to 14 damage by this point. Then we can play our Planeswalker if we have to and tutor for another Gray for the game. I've also put a few Sign in Bloods in the deck for two reasons. One if we're not getting the cards we need we can pay the two like and draw. Two if we still have a hand full of discard later in the game we can cast it and target our opponent and make them draw while pinging them for two. The we can then cast to make them discard those cards triggering Waste Not for us. I also put a few Read the Bones giving us more card advantage. Our Planeswalker is Liliana Vess. Her +1 triggers Waste Not for us and we can use her to tutor for whatever card we need.

In our sideboard I've put 4 Bile Blight. My Meta has a lot of heroic soldier type decks and Bile Blight wipes all their little guy off the board before they can turn them into big guys. It's also good against token decks. I also put 3 Flesh to Dust in case we need more removal. I also put another Gray Merchant of Asphodel, 2 copies of Indulgent Tormentor, and 4 copies of Deathgaze Cockatrice. This gives us the option of siding out the whole Discard package and going with a full Deathtouch/devotion package. Which is a surprise to our opponent most off the time. They try to adjust to all the discard and you come at them with a Deathtouch/Flying/Removal package that they aren't expecting.
