Deck Description

Work in progress, not a finished deck.

Okay...I got it trimmed down from 200+ to 100 cards. Then I trimmed it from 100 to 75. Now I'm stuck. I'll probably just pull the cards from my sleeves and make the deck, 75 means it's already a 60 card deck with a built-in 15 card sideboard. I need to see what cards work and which ones are either over-kill or too costly to be effective. I could make an argument for keeping all 75, all have uses all play into the strategy, we'll see how it actually plays out.

I've been wanting to do a punishment deck for 7-8 years, and this winter I managed to get my hands on a card collection that included 2 Black Vise cards, 4 Racklings and 4 Viselings (among others). I figured the time was right to start making the deck a reality.

Since I deconstructed my Hermit deck, it unlocked a slew of artifacts and global enchantments this decks needs to be complete. The idea of the deck is to inflict pain, mostly to my opponents, but I must admit, the volume of self-damaging effects does have me concerned. Combine massive card drawing effects* with artifacts and enchantments that punish opponents with large hands, then add in effects which punish the use of spells, the casting of creatures, tapping lands and discarding cards and you have a swirling vortex of punishment.

This is a 'dick' deck, of course. I seem to be on a dick-deck state of mind these days. A typical hoser deck which makes you public enemy number one to all the players you are playing with...when you hear your opponents' say under their breath..."what a dick", you know you have yourself a dick-deck.

I do not anticipate winning many, or even ANY games with this deck. It's merely an attempt to create a punishment themed deck, which I hope will at least ALTER any game it is played in.

* - I don't even have any of my Howling Mines in this deck...I have them in another deck in which they are vital for success, so this deck will have to make due with other forms of deck drawing.

First deck?
Too many cards, too few lands.
Cut it down to 60 cards.

It's my 100th deck. I'm in the process of trimming it down, and only made it public to access it from a friend's smartphone.

did you ever think of going with a megrim/caress/waste not build using cards like burning inquiry and dark deal?
none of them are that explensive and are all low CMC cards.

whenever I do a black discard deck, Megrim is a key component, but in this build, I'm focusing on the torture themed artifacts and their direct damage. The only card I wish I had a few more of is Underworld Dreams, I love that card playing the Xbox, but I only own 1 right now. If I had 4, I'd dump three other cards for sure.
