Perhaps a basic discard deck, but I like it.This deck revolves around lliana's caress and megrin. Get those enchantments out and get your opponent to discard!Burning inquiry is really helpfull because your opponent always need to discard, even with no cards at hand. I also like shrieking affliction for when your opponent decides it's best to have no cards at hand.Some creatures here are pure for defense, such as tidehollow strix and jace's phantasm. The Nyxathid creature is also nice. Creatures are mainly added to delay a little so you can prepare your discard mania.
I have played this deck for years now and added to it a little. It is only just now that I made the deck public, I hope you guys like it.

It's funny how we all have a deck hidden somewhere in the cupboards that we sometimes show of to people.It's almost a category on it's own.What should we call them?My first thought was "pride deck" but then I remembered what that covers now.Trophy decks, nostalgia decks, gem decks ???Seems hard to pin down a propper word.

I named this deck Discartes, based on the philosopher René Descartes. It was purely because of the word play on discarding.Perhaps nostalgia deck would cover this one the most :)
I was a little unsure if you were Spanish or referring to descartes.It's sort of a funny coincidence, I've just had an argument with someone who seemed to view the world through philosophical lenses, and I sort of mentioned the shadows on the cave wall that one of the philosophers used as an example, and here you are :) a shadow ghost!I can never distinguish the philosophers, though so was it descartes or platon with the shadow cave?Few people know it, but most ancient philosophy was flirting with the occult (in the old meaning of the word, hidden from view)They were lovers of knowledge, but most of the knowledge they loved was hidden in ritual texts.Labyrinthia, means a difficult rite of passage.It got confused with the word maze over time.
I am not sure about many for philosphers, it was mainly a word play. Tho I do like the 'I think therfore I am' citation from descartes. Funny coincidences yes :) The world sometimes seems smaller then you'd think haha
There was one philosopher who lived in a barrel, because he talked about being free of property and possessions. He must have been smart though, because he was given food in exchange for his thoughts. And he's the only homeless in history remembered for his wisdom. I feel like I should know at least one of his teachings, just because he seemed cool.A tip for your deck.When people fight discard these days they often do it with "card storages" they use permanents that can draw them a card so they can suddenly fight back, by drawing a card, then use it while having a hand of 0. They mostly use mishra's bauble, relic of progenitus and expedition Map for lands against landde struction.There are more than these cards out there with different purposes, but your discard deck could fight these cards by playing pithing needle. You'd have to learn what names to pin, but it would be worth it. 2 in your mainboard and a third in your sideboard if you want to try it out.
Thank you for the tip! When I get a hold on pitching needle I will sure try it!
First try to notice if anyone around you use card storage around you :)No need to buy it if they aren't :)And if you ever need info on mill-cards or how to fight mill, I'll have lots of tips.
With all the spells that also force you to discard, you could add some of the madness-cards that came with Eldritch Moon:https://www.mtgvault.com/cards/search/?q=madness&searchtype=text&ps=20
thanks for the suggestion! If I can find any of those cards, I'll be sure to try it
