A reworked, BR version of a discard-themed deck. Formerly had a splash of blue for
Sedraxis Specter
, but not anymore since that made the deck clunky and unreliable.
The idea here is to use two different avenues to attack: First and foremost, you use discard cards such as
Thoughseize
, Inquisition of Kozilek and
Blightning
causing your opponent to take a ton of damage from The Rack and Shrieking Affliction, should he drop below 2 cards.
However, in discard decks, the opponent can usually wait a while to compensate for the card disadvantage they suffer until they stabilize. So in addition to applying direct card disadvantage, you indirectly discourage your opponents to keep their cards in hand by using cost-effective creatures such as Oona's Prowler or Brain Maggot that just double-dare your opponents to get rid of them.
The end result is all the same: Soon their hand size drops to 2, you just happen to have a
Blightning
and they take 6-9 damage and have no cards left to play, leaving you to attack with your prowlers.
About sideboard:
Duress: Can be switched with Inquisition of Kozilek or Terminate when the opposing deck has little to no creatures.
Rakdos Charm: Adds flexibility. Can punish horde and artifact decks and most importantly, hoses graveyard-based cards ('goyf, dredge, lavamancer, undying) neatly.
Raven's Crime: Adds more discard pressure and staying power.
Black Sun's Zenith: A very flexible and universal sweeper that bypasses pretty much everything except Undying.
