Specter's Wail

Sorcery

Target player discards a card at random.

Hey there everybody. So a few months back, I went to a new card shop that opened near me, it was a lot closer than my normal LGS, and I thought if it would be fun to experience a new meta, as the one at the old LGS didn't really do casual and I'm a janky boy. So I go to this new place and absolutely love it. It's small, localized and I become good friends with the owners right off the bat. TLDR It's a great place, needless to say I'm in love with the LGS.

So a few weeks in this new guys pulls up to the shop on friday night. He seems nice, he talks up his decks a little bit (but really who doesn't do that, we all have pride in our decks). SO we sit down to play and decide on power level 9. So I played my 9 level deck, Specter tribal. It's got a lot of discard and hand hate because well, that's what specter's do. He's playing Edgar Markov. Now, I've faced Edgar enough to know he's a threat, I think any edh player who's faced a good edgar deck knows that. My two other friends at the shop are playing with us, they're good guys who I enjoy playing with. The game starts and I start doing my thing, hands are small, life totals are dwindling and the edgar player draws and boldly proclaims he can win next turn. I assume (correctly) that the card in his hand is something crazy and cast a Specter's Wail, he only has one card in hand, so he goes and discard a Kindred Charge, which definitely would have killed the rest of us. Perhaps understandably, he's pissed. So pissed, in fact, that he goes to the counter. I'm not sure what's happening now, and I planned on removing edgar this turn too, but whatever, I'll wait for him to come back. He's talking with the owners and like 5 mins later he stomps towards the table with a pack of Amonkhet in hand. I've never heard of someone who buys a pack when he gets tilted, but whatever, we EdH players tend to be quirky. So I'm sitting there, he sits, and then throws (and not gently mind you) the pack at my face. Now, I'm not athletic in any way, hell I play MTG because it doesn't require exercise, but I manage to catch it before it hits me. I'm stunned, the rest of the table is stunned, we're all like, what the hell just happened?!?!?! The guy demands the pack back, and I'm still shocked. I debate keeping it from him because what if he throws it again. But hey, I didn't buy it so it isn't mine. He says I can only keep the pack if it hits me in the face. He throws it again and this time I don't catch it, it hits me in the face and I'm steaming. I'll admit, I have a relatively short temper, being a teenager and all, but my friend sees this, packs up and takes me with him. I go back next week and there's this asshole again, back at the table. It's taking every nerve in me not to yell at him. For the past few weeks he's continued to be a dick and luckily hasn't thrown a pack at me again. I don't know what to do with him because he sort of shoves his way into games. Any advice guys, I really love this shop and don't want to leave it.

Hmmm, I can't take out Dread Specter or Specter's Wail just because they are on theme with the deck. I'll definitely replace the lands when I can get my hands on them. Maybe taking out Mercurial Pretender and Bad Moon? I've also started to notice that Lazav, the Multifarious doesn't do that much in game. Maybe I should just cut him?
