Deck Description

Hi planestalker here.

This is my current casual discard deck.

Most recent win was against a beginner player with a what he called a fast life gain deck.

I'm using this account for only my real decks.

All these decks I currently own and all the cards are real, no proxies, and I currently play these decks at local game stores.

As I tear apart these decks for new decks I will remove them from this account.

I also will try to keep a running history of how they played against other decks.

Deck discussion for realdecks - black discard deck

You probably need either Megrim or Liliana's caress along with Painful Quandary and possibly more discard and removal instead of quite as many creatures... Definitely Doom Blades.

Hi RaiderKrom,

First off thanks for commenting on the deck even though I disagree with most of what you've written.
I appreciate the effort and it does force me to more closely look at my assumptions of how the deck should work and provides and opportunity to explain why I made the choices I did.

You may be new beginning player and not familiar with the idea of suicidal black decks. The idea of this deck is to swarm the opponent with too many creatures to respond to and reduce their ability to response by playing a variety of discard cards.

While Doom Blade is an excellent card and I think Go for the Throat is slightly better. Contagion with its ability to be cast for zero mana is superior to both. At one time I had 3 Dismember in the deck instead of Phyrexian Arena and Skithiryx, the Blight Dragon and one less land. Feel free to add Dismembers the deck does well with them, but this deck does better in the metagame environment I play against which is pretty heavy with creature destruct and red burn.

Liliana's Caress is an interesting idea and perhaps might help in certain situations especially if the
deck was more focused on discard. The discard in this deck is to support the creature attack.
Perhaps if I had more creatures or spells that caused discard then Liliana's caress would make more sense. I have made a deck that uses Liliana's Caress quite powerfully you might want to look at it.

You're absolutely right. I misunderstood the scope of the deck here. I would still suggest that Skythrix be replaced with a Demon of death's gate if you can find one since those are truly devastating and would probably fit well with this deck.
