---

The deck's objective is to set up a value engine with the main fuel being discard triggers. A good example would be playing Waste Not and Liliana's Caress and then stringing together multiple wheels ( Wheel of Fate , Memory Jar , Magus of the Wheel ). The next step is to play Malfegor to boardwipe, and optimally grinding down everyone else's hands with cards like Necrogen Mists and Sire Of Insanity after that.

All these shenanigans not only ruin enemy strategies and net me a ton of value, but they also allow me to pitch cards that dont mind being discarded ( Cut , Army of the Damned , Anger ), and fill the graveyards to abuse with Rise of the Dark Realms and Mizzix's Mastery in the late game.

Let me know if you have any other cool synergies/additions you'd like to share!
