This is a Discard Voltron themed deck. As such, it is unlikely to win you many friends. Why would someone build a Voltron deck that draws so much hate? Because someone can. Because someone thinks it's fun. That someone is me.

The deck is running 38 lands and 12 sources of ramp, for 50 total sources of mana. The official cmc is 3.37, but there are 12 pieces of equipment with equip costs to account for as well. As such, it is a pretty hungry deck. Of course, there are some obvious exclusions that would help with this, and that is due to budgetary restrictions. I've tried to include as many ways as possible to get swamps onto the battlefield in order to get the most out of the mana doublers I do have, and I've tried to include some key synergies to help with the

Brass Squire can help protect the Haunt the turn you cast him.

Inspiring Statuary can allow you to improvise the Haunt, or to cast other spells on the turn he comes out. Remember, you can tap your equipment and other artifacts to pay for improvise, even if they are already equipped to a creature.

The draw engine has the potential to draw you a lot of of cards, but at the cost of life. The commander's lifelink of course goes a long way to make up for this as he usually is hitting for 10+ on the first swing, but Sangromancer is included to help offset this.

Skyblinder Staff on a flying creature is just fun.

Pestilence and Shade's Form are both good sinks if you find yourself with extra mana.

Words of Waste with one of your draw outlets lets you force as much discard as you have mana for.

Trepanation Blade on the Haunt gives you lethal in 1-2 turns depending on what else is out. With Tainted Strike or Phyresis it's almost a guaranteed kill if you get through.

Metalwork Colossus is very probably a free 10/10 that you can potentially throw some equipment on for a large beater and even a secondary WinCon if the Haunt has been nuked too many times.
