UPDATE: this deck is not Standard legal also. With recent rotations on Standard, I haven't found a good sequence of cards to build a really worthy discard deck.

This is a new discard deck I've been using for MtG Arena, following the same idea on Arena Discard deck, which is not Standard legal anymore. I'm adding as a new deck because, although the same idea is used, it got so different that I could not consider this to be an update.

The discard cards are evident. The difference from my older discard deck is on the finishers. Knight of the Ebon Legion is a good start, which grows with every hit (if you pay the 2B cost for the +3/+3). The Spawn of Mayhem is also a great card to hit your opponent, specially when you are able to cast it early in the game by its spectacle cost. The final finisher is The Haunt of Hightower, which is strong enough by itself.

There's some interesting new cards I would like to talk about. Specially Murderous Rider. This card is simply TOO STRONG. See, you can cast it to destroy a creature or a planeswalker for 3 mana and 2 life. And you can recover that life later with its lifelink ability! I could not ignore the advantages of this card for this deck, which could lack creatures. To get things better, it returns from the graveyard to your library! Disfigure, Reave Soul and the Plaguecrafter are your other weapons for removing any other thing you may find in your path.
