Commander 19 is adding a sufficient volume of cards to my collection to enable a long held EDH wish archetype of mine. Grixis discard control.

The goal - destroy everything. Most especially hands, permanents and lands. Our early plays should result in painful 3 for 1s. Burglar rats into delirium skeins could easily wipe out a few early hands. If we can hit a madness card or pitch something we can later replay then we can hopefully curve into bolas and then keep the pain coming. Blood moon & Back to basics can hopefully shut one or two opponents off to let us focus on fewer live mid-game threats. I would expect our permanents not to stick around too long, but there should be a few late game engines available to out value resource strapped opponents. We can finish with capsize, mimic vat or deadeye to put a halt to everyone's ability to stick any threats. If we can get some instant speed discard/stealing effects or get a lock on creatures with edicts we can really lean on the gross amounts of recurable built in value.

Deck was odd to build - had to go extremely light on ramp b/c I want a very high threat/proactive card density. I want to spend the early game getting edicts/discard spells cast so that threats don't hit the board at too fast of a velocity.

If we can consistently 3 for 1 the table with discard and board clears we could ideally be in a position to win via raw card advantage. Our discard and edicts should force opponents to make tough choices when developing threats. We want to get to a position where we are out drawing the table and holding onto answers for maximum impact. We want it to be painful for anyone to hold onto removal for our permanents so we can turn our card advantage into overwhelming value advantage.

Suggestions welcome.
