A simple Discard Deck with only these cards

Deck Help forum

Posted on March 28, 2012, 11:45 a.m. by Brall

hello everybody,

can you please provide your opinion on what would be the most effective cards to use in this discard deck?

this deck would only be used in 2HG play, sometimes along-side a slower discard deck.

goals: i'd like this deck to have speed. i'd like this deck to be more efficient at discarding rather than dealing damage.

i'll list the cards i have below. please try to only use the cards below because i'm currently very low on funds to purchase more.

thanks in advance for you help!

Use deck:add to add this list as a deck and then we can work from there. It's much easier to view, analyze, and offer feedback when your deck is in an actually decklist.

You probably don't want to focus too heavily on single-card discard sorceries, since they become useless after the first few turns. Instead, play 4x Hymn to TourachMTG Card: Hymn to Tourach and perhaps some other random discard effects.

For creatures, Guul Draz SpecterMTG Card: Guul Draz Specter and Hypnotic SpecterMTG Card: Hypnotic Specter look like your best bets.

If speed is a concern, then definitely look into adding 4x Dark RitualMTG Card: Dark Ritual. They're inexpensive to acquire and great for ramping.

NyxathidMTG Card: Nyxathid is a decent creature for a discard deck and they only cost about a dollar apiece.

Splashing red would give you access to BlightningMTG Card: Blightning and perhaps Sanity GnawersMTG Card: Sanity Gnawers and Hellhole RatsMTG Card: Hellhole Rats (the rats are a bit slow, though).

Thank you very much for the advice.

The deck has been added here, Brall And Liliana's Ascension (2HG)

NyxathidMTG Card: Nyxathid is a very nice card. Never seen it before, thank you for the suggestion.
