Self Discard to proc Rielle's abillity as much as possible, that's the main gist.

You'll know you're doing well when you're moving a lot of cards in and out of your hand.

Your priorities should look something like this:

1.) Put Rielle into play Rielle is the heart and soul of this deck. She is the reason why some of the awful cards in this actually work. If she is not online the deck falls apart.

2.) Defend Rielle at all costs See above paragraph. The only time you should ever let Rielle die or be vulnerable is if you are about to win and need to protect that win conditions.

3.) Gain card advantage This isn't hard to do when you realize that the word discard actually means draw. But in order to draw 40 cards in a turn you need Rielle up.

4.) Place down win conditions Once you've drawn your deck it shouldn't be hard to find something that wins right...right?

Some obstacles and solutions

Problem: Rielle died again and is now 11 mana to cast. Solution: draw more cards, play conservatively, use protection equipment

Problem: I keep brain blasting too hard and milling myself out. Solution: consider giting gud...your hand can and will receive exponential growth. It's better to plan for it and try to play a win conditions before that point. Be prepared to count how many cards are left in your library as your hand approaches double digits.

Problem: I can't plan my next turn because I keep discarding my hand. Solution: don't discard your hand when you have a plan. Choosing when to discard is a strategic choice. Sometimes during a game it's better to discard your hand to get more options then it is to keep a limited set of options.
