Deck Description

Inspired by a deck on MTGVault by Jaded, and smashed together with a discard deck from MTGGoldfish. A weird (and not very good, but competitiveness is not the point) combination of Discard, Control, Land Destruction, Infect, and Artifacts. Made for fun, not winning, and is semi-budget. Any recommendations are very accpeted, and greatly appreciated. I know there should be more diversity in lands, but that hasn't been added yet.

How to Play

Uses Liquimetal Coating to turn lands and more into artifacts, before smashing them with Oxydize, Nature's claim, and Viridian Corrupter. Keep your opponent in check with land and creature destruction, as well as discard. While they're struggling to get back on their feet, whittle them down with infect counters from Glistening Elf, Plague Stinger, and Phyrexian Crusader, before finishing them off with a hasted Skithiryx or slightly stronger than expected (Funeral Charm) Phyrexian Vatmother.

Deck discussion for A Glistening Coat

If you want to kill lands by making them artifacts I suggest that you try "March of the Machines" once the land becomes an artifact it dies to state based effect because it becomes a 0/0 creature. ;) Then you don't need artifact removal to get rid of the lands.

It's blue though so you need to change your mana base. ;) Still, it's a fun little combo and the card is not expensive at all, so it works with your budget. :)

Thanks for the comment. I think I'll keep my deck the same colors it is now. Good idea, though. I'll keep it in mind. :)

Also I would suggest you make your deck focus on ONE thing, at the most two. If you water down the deck with too many different things, the deck becomes ineffective and inconsistent and you will have trouble winning games. As I can see your deck is currently focusing on 3 objectives: discard, infect and land destruction.

I know you said you didn't want the deck to win, but I guess you wouldn't mind winning some games, right? :P

Believe me. I learned it the hard way, I used to put cards in my decks because they looked fun and I wanted the deck to do so many different things, the problem is, it never works that way. It's much easier to play the deck if you know what your main goal is. Just a little tip for your future deck-builds ;)

Someone has already made a discard deck. I'm sure a few land destruction decks are out there, maybe even a few infect decks. If you want to find one of those decks, then go click on one of them. This may be a crap deck, but I'd rather have it then be the 1000001st person to make a discard deck.

I see, but I'm not saying you have to create a discard deck, or infect or land destruction, what I'm saying is that your deck should focus on one thing regardless of what it is. Making it more consistent. Just trying to help ;)
