Type-I Mono Black Discard
|
Ever since I really started putting any kind of real thought into my decks, discard has been one of my favorite mechanics. I've built many
discard decks over the years, but none of them had really ever been extremely effective with the tradeoff of being tournament legal. So I
finally took all of my discard decks apart (2 or 3) and built one streamlined, legalized deck.
There's nothing fancy about this deck, the basic concept is empty you opponent's hand early and bring on the pain with artifacts. This
deck is designed for the short game, and it really loses steam after 6 or 7 turns. If you don't have the game in control (artifacts and/or
creatures down) by turn 3 or 4 you probably aren't going to win with it. That's the only real problem with it... it's pretty well hit or miss
depending on what you get in your opening hand.
