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

This is a Megrim/Burning Inquiry deck. It is designed to use primarily cards from the new M10 set.

A couple notes:

-- This deck also contains:
4x Burning Inquiry (R Sorcery, Each player draws three cards and discards three cards)
3x Howling Banshee (BB2, 3/3 Flying, When Howling Banshee comes into play each player takes 3 damage)
2x Doom Blade (B1 Instant, Destroy target nonblack creature)
2x Demon Horn (2 Artifact, Whenever a player plays a black spell you may gain 1 life)

- - This deck forgoes the opportunity to use Underworld Dreams, which is commonly paired with Megrim. My thinking is that it is, first, that it's basically more powerful to have 2 Megrims out than to have a Megrim and a secondary enchantment. Additionally, Focusing on just Megrim frees up room in the deck for other potentially damaging cards (creatures, lightning bolts). This hopefully makes it possible to win despite a countered or disenchanted megrim.

Deck discussion for Megrim Fandango

Nice. I have a similar discard deck (id 23630).

You might consider Dragonskull Summits (tap for red or black) and Crumbling Necropolis (tap for red, black, or blue). Great mana fixers.

In my play tests fast creature decks have been an issue for discard decks, so I have been considering volcanic fallout and terminate so I can use my bolts on my opponent instead.

Since you are primarily focused on the discard side, I would say Nyxathid is a must.... Maybe drop the loomin shade since it requires mana to boost. Another good creature is the Sedraxis Spectar. It is a 3/2 flier that causes the person to discard a card and can be unearthed for 1 colorless and 1 Black. Replace the Druges with 4 of these and drop the Knights down to 2.

Add 2 Mind Shatters and drop 2 Mind Rots.

These are just some ideas. I do like the idea of no dreams. I will have to try that out and see how it works.

I'd suggest dropping the Looming Shades and Drudge Skeles and go with a playset of Nyxathid. 3 drop that should always be at least 5/5 with this deck.

Also consider using doomblade over seal of doom. Cheaper, instant speed, and the regen thing isn't too much to worry about if you're swinging with multiple 5/5 - 7/7s.

I'm building a similar deck, but going for as fast as possible, using megrim, underworld dreams, and spiteful visions with howling mines out. I'll post a decklist soon and link it here.
