Thinking about Modern Discard punishment deck

Deck Help forum

Posted on July 1, 2013, 10:48 a.m. by jermtube

I've always wanted to make a deck that punished the opponent for not having cards in their hand, so I'd like to think of some ways to make that work. The first things that come to mind are Liliana'a Caress, Sire Of Insanity /Shrieking Affliction , and things like Despise and Hellfire Mongrel . Anyone have experience with a Modern discard deck?

yea definitely, Ruric, that's the card that gave me the idea to make a deck like that. now i'm just thinking how many creatures should be involved. there wouldn't be too many, i'd imagine, and they'd all have something to do with the amount of cards in players' hands.

yeah this is definately some kind of control deck so a range from 8 to 12 creatures would be good enough, just to not hurt the mechanic of the deck

This type of deck was floating around awhile ago as a rogue modern deck. Technically this is listed as monoblack infect. In reality its a monoblack discard deck with infect as its win condition.

though still your choice to use infect cards or not, you can still make your own variation of the deck...
