I've been playing this deck for a long time and it's really effective (not to mention fun!). I have subtly changed it as time has gone by and newer, powerful cards have been released, such as Consult the Necrosages. The idea is simple. Get Megrim out early, then play anything to get the opponent to discard, whether that is through black sorceries or through discard creatures such as Hypnotic Specter and Ashen-Skin Zubera. The blue cards are mainly there to get the opponent to draw cards so there is something to discard. This is especially useful against weenie and burn decks, where the opponent can easily play all the cards in their hand. Distress and Duress quite useful to force the discard of a powerful card (most other cards allow the player to choose which cards to discard).
