GREETINGS!

Primer is outdated - I’ve had to overhaul the deck to make it more competitive

This is my kamikaze 8-Rack deck featuring Liliana of the Veil, Smallpox, and Urza's Saga.

The previous version of this deck was too intense with self-life-loss, especially in the post MH2 meta, so I’ve toned it down significantly. Sadly, that means I have dropped Death's Shadow.

OBJECTIVE

My goal is to whittle my opponent’s hand away with discard spells and punish them with 8-Rack (The Rack and Shrieking Affliction).

CARD CHOICES

The discard package includes Thoughtseize (the best discard card in the format), Raven's Crime (Retrace guarantees any excess lands I draw are put to good use)…

Urza's Saga eventually tutors for The Rack or sideboard options like Nihil Spellbomb or Pithing Needle.

This deck is designed for Smallpox. I only play it when I know I can sac Flagstones of Trokair or a used-up Urza's Saga, to break parity.

EXCLUSIONS

Ephemerate

SIDEBOARD

Against creature-heavy builds, I bring in 2 Bontu's Last Reckoning, then mulligan until I start the game with either Reckoning or Damn. Most decks can not recover from the wipe and I will win within two turns.

Damping Sphere shuts down storm and ramp decks.

Surgical Extraction should be used against graveyard-heavy builds, combo, tron, or burn. Fracture provides additional support against planeswalkers, artifacts, and enchantments.

Any suggestions or comments are welcome!
