Words of Waste

Enchantment

(1): The next time you would draw a card this turn, each opponent discards a card instead.

I too have a 5 color cycling deck but it is a gimmicky fragile combo. Yours can interact and react. I like it.

The cycle of Evoke elementals from Modern Horizons 2 are fantastic Astral targets.

Crystalline Resonance very powerful clone effect.

Words of Waste you will always have a full hand. Why not make your opponents have nothingness?

Drannith Stinger is an upgrade but the PB&J to Astral Slide was always Lightning Rift

thanks for the feedback! I hope you can get a good running deck, it is definitely one of my favorites to play. I definitely tried to look for unusual ideas such as Shaman's Trance and other discard payoffs outside of madness. it still certainly could use further refinement but happy that you found the deck to have some inspiration.

the hardest part of the deck has been balancing discarding with payoffs. Would highly recommend Words of Waste if you can make it work.

my decks are more creature focused as opposed to others in in my play group so I have removed a bit of mass reanimation. since they didn't pay off much, but they are certainly excellent if you get the force discard train moving.

Paradox Haze seems pretty solid here imo! Words of Waste & Words of Wind could be worth considering as well.

Words of Waste is a great repeatable discard engine.

Kaya's Ghostform might be better protection for Tergrid than Mithril Coat.

Words of Waste would be good here. Rankle, Master of Pranks makes you discard too, but a hastey repeatable effect is worth that downside imo.

Ok, so here's a few top picks (imho) for Tergrid, God of Fright  Flip.

Oppression, Liliana, Waker of the Dead, Rankle, Master of Pranks, Living Death, Delirium Skeins, Innocent Blood, Cunning Lethemancer, Bottomless Pit, Necrogen Mists, Words of Waste, Smokestack, Sword of Feast and Famine & Chains of Mephistopheles (just proxy it lol)

There's also a lot of cheaper options that are just as synergistic like Plaguecrafter, Demon's Disciple, Raven's Crime, Hymn to Tourach, Mind Twist, Mind Shatter, Mind Slash & Sadistic Hypnotist.

Outside of the synergy pieces, I'd recommend replacing some of those low-power pieces like Bad Deal & Inevitable End with value pieces like Dark Ritual & Vampiric Tutor for greater consistency.

Liliana's Specter, Noxious Toad (oracle text is each opponent), Sadistic Hypnotist (this could be especially ugly in a creature heavy meta), and Words of Waste are all good discard options. Tinybones, Trinket Thief is a good payoff for all the discard. Dictate of Erebos is probably worth running in addition to Grave Pact.

Tyrant-Thanatos on What's your favorite mechanic, and …

I love filtered draw cards like what seshiro_of_the_orochi listed, but I prefer the ones that pitch the remaining cards into the grave, such as Grisly Salvage or Winding Way.

I also love draw-replacement effects. Whether it's Dredge, Tomorrow, Azami's Familiar, or something like Words of Waste.

I'm borderline obsessed with Underrealm Lich, which does both of these things.

I'm also unreasonably satisfied with the mechanical combination of creatures with both Vigilance and a Activated Ability. Some creatures are printed this way, like Adarkar Valkyrie or Vona, Butcher of Magan, but it's just as easy to create the scenario by granting vigilance to something like a Bloodline Keeper  Flip.
