Carded and Discarded Modern

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

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

My attempt at creating an effective discard deck within the Modern perimeters.

Some important elements of the deck:

Discard decks often have the problem of how to deal damage if you don't draw Megrim or Liliana's Caress. Jace Beleren, Sign in Blood, Dream Salvage, Consult the Necromages, Lore Broker and Reckless Scholar all can be used to gain card advantage and filter through until you land a Megrim or Liliana's Caress. Additionally, three cards (Clutch of the Undercity, Consult the Necromages, and Perplex) have transmute which can be used to search for Megrim.

Another issue often found in discard decks is what to do when you've emptied your opponent's hand. This is dealt with in a few ways. Firstly, all of the aforementioned cards that allow you to draw in search of Megrim and Liliana's Caress can be used on the opponent to give them cards to discard once you've dropped a Megrim or Liliana's Caress. Additionally, Funeral and Piracy Charm both are instants allowing you to force the opponent to discard immediately after they draw. Finally, Bloodchief Ascension, The Rack and Stabwhisker the Odious punish your opponent for having no cards.

Cards still in consideration are Vision Skeins, Wistful Thinking, Careful Consideration, River's Grasp, Cry of Contrition, Ravenous Rats, and Horrifying Revelation. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated as long as they aren't "change the entire mentality of the deck".
