This deck has two main approaches: it can make opponents lose life by discarding OR it can make opponents lose life by not having any cards in hand. Also, I prefer spells that make ME choose what card will be discarded, this way I have more control and also I can know what my opponent have in hand. I appreciate any help and tips!

Also, it relies on some control to help you gain time: black spells and instants to destroy creatures and some creatures to help you mantain some life as well cause some damage. Remember: the main goal is to make people discard and this way win. Besides the usual Coercion and Distress you also have some big ones like Persecute, Monomania and Dark Deal. And because the deck is quite low cost, you can use Smallpox with no fear of compromising your game (since it also destroys your lands).

I've played with this deck and my friends hate it because, at some point, they're all like: "meh, I'll play it, otherwise I'll just have to discard it anyways". This gives you an advantage, since your opponents are under constant threat of discarding, they are inclined to play the cards, forcing them not to have long term strategies if possible.

This is the best deck I have and the most competitive one, please do suggest any improvements for its dynamics.
