This is a work in progress. The idea is pretty straightforward, get your opponent to discard as many cards as possible. Mid game they will begin to lose life, while I can gain some back with the Sangromancer. Ruinous Path is in there for an all in one removal with the option of a creature late game.

Most of the creatures (minus the Specter) will benefit from being targeted by the Mindbender (Witch becomes a curse, Dreamstealer can be embalmed, Augur can save itself). There is enough life drain/discard to wittle the opponent down (in theory). will likely change with playtesting!
