So I and another user (user:daNoodalz) were talking about how One with Nothing is always described as unplayable. There are a few reasons, one of which being you should not have to PAY mana to lose your entire hand. And you can't even draw other cards. But there are a few cycling/discard cards and cards such as Hazoret the Fervent that reward you for having few/no cards in hand. Thus, it was only natural to create a deck that uses One with Nothing to effectively destroy your opponent. The win condition is to drain your opponents of life while also being able to effectively top deck. Some main cards are Archfiend of Ifnir and Shadow of the Grave , which allows you to reap the benefits of discarding the cards and then returning them to your hand. This combo allows you to bounce all the cards from your graveyard that you discarded with One with Nothing . I would love to hear feedback, suggestions, and other "unplayable" cards to try and build competitive decks around. Feedback and suggestions about the mana base and also the burn spells would be extremely helpful.
