The basic idea with this deck is to draw tons of cards because of Sygg's ability. Unblockable creatures and lots of awesome equipment help ensure that somebody's taking >= 3 damage on your turn.

I've got the current list and have played it a few times. There are some spells that I've included in the list as placeholders, just so I could start to see how the idea plays out while I acquire the cards on my want list.

I originally had about 10 more cards that played off of the discard mechanic, but I've removed them based on feedback from two different playgroups. Discarding is not a very fun mechanic and makes some people angry. I'm not against including cards in this list that cause discards, but I try to keep it to a minimum. I'm actually quite competitive, but most people I play EDH with are casual players.

Suggestions welcome.
