Instead of building an easily disrupted deck that relies heavily on reanimating cards in your graveyard, I decided to have fun and build a control deck based around forcing players to discard cards, filling up the graveyard for you to pick and choose with your general and primordials what you want to do.

Not gonna lie, I wanted to make a Waste Not control deck while also using my foil The Mimeoplasm.

The only real lockout combos you have in the deck are Anvil of Bogardan + Geth's Grimoire + Words of Waste or Mind's Eye + Words of Waste which stops them from ever really drawing.

I chose to not put in any tutors so I couldn't abuse tutor + Seasons Past as I'm sure I would, making a game quite a bit less fun if I can get the counters and tutors and control spells I need each turn.

The deck runs a decent amount of consistent draw spells since a lot of the cards that force your opponent to discard also cause you to discard, meaning you need to keep your hand constantly replenished. This does give us the chance to run a couple Madness spells for value, such as Welcome to the Fold and From Under the Floorboards.

The win conditions are either your general/creatures or some combination of Megrim, Liliana's Caress, Quest for the Nihil Stone, Painful Quandary, and Bloodchief Ascension along with the spells that deal small amounts of damage each turn, like Gibbering Descent.

This is a "FUN" deck (well, as fun as discard can be) and isn't meant to combo anyone. The lack of counters is due to deck space and how unfun I find playing a deck full of counterspells. I play 1 counter in the deck (Voidslime) which can't easily be recurred every turn.
