Manus (anatomical term for your Palm) + -cide (the killing of the person or thing indicated by the first component of the word). Hand-killing. This is my Orzhov standard hand disruption control deck that I'm currently working on.

Simple enough deck concept - ravage their hand early on via spells and creatures and then sit back and enjoy the free Lightning Bolt fireworks from Shrieking Affliction. Contaminated Ground is an overlooked hilarious card that, if you go first, can completely throw off their games (unless you're against a black deck of course, at which Dark Betrayal can come in).

Mind Rot, Brain Maggot, and Thoughtseize are our guaranteed removals, with Duress, Sin Collector, High Priest of Penance, and Banisher Priest being alternatives for both hand and field.
