Probably my personal favourite deck for kitchen table play, the strategy is very straightforward and consistent - using 1- and 2-drop enchantments to set up the damage base, then force your opponents to discard while you Lightning Bolt and Terminate your way through any threats that hit the ground (occasionally letting a chump slide through...only to take a Sinister Possession).

With all the low CMC spells, Raven's Crime becomes a real nuisance, essentially turning any land I draw after turn 3 or 4 into a discard spell that combos with any (and sometimes multiple) Waste Nots I may have on the field to provide blockers, more spells, or extra mana to keep the train rolling.

Liliana's Caress is an obvious one here, and when combo'd with Blightning or any of the other discard spells it's just brutal, often doing enough damage to lead to an opponent's demise at their upkeep (with a little help from The Rack, Shrieking Affliction, or Quest for the Nihil Stone).

I play this deck against my playgroup quite a bit, and it wins a solid 90% of the time against various decks (although none of us play anything too hardcore / expensive). That being said, any ideas on improvement are always welcome, especially in potential cards for the sideboard.
