Overall Strategy

Discard Matters

This deck wants to gain advantage through making your opponents top deck, closing out the game with Tinybones, Trinket Thief 's ability to deal 10 damage.

Discard Engines:

Repeated Outlets: Cunning Lethemancer | Gibbering Descent | Guul Draz Specter | Hypnotic Specter | Liliana, Defiant Necromancer | Geier Reach Sanitarium | Rankle, Master of Pranks | Stronghold Rats | Bottomless Pit | Necrogen Mists | Words of Waste |

One time: Burglar Rat | Divest | Distress | Pox | Arterial Flow | Cackling Fiend | Liliana's Specter | Noxious Toad | Unnerve | Syphon Mind

Mass Discard: Mindslicer

Leveraging Discard

We can leverage the discard abilities with a couple of things. Primarily Tinybones, Trinket Thief 's ability to draw cards each turn if an opponent discarded that turn. Waste Not is a great enchantment, it does it all for us, ramp, card draw, and token generation. Painful Quandary also really starts taking a toll on opponents life totals.

Big Mana

Given that Tinybones, Trinket Thief ability costs a big mana subtheme has some natural synergy here. Some cards that take advantage of the large amounts of mana we can generate are:

Exsanguinate | Torment of Hailfire

We generate big mana using:

Cabal Coffers | Cabal Stronghold | Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx | Crypt Ghast | Gauntlet of Power | Extraplanar Lens
