Been working on this stubborn homebrew for a long time doing my best to make it work and it's been a never-ending work in progress, I may waste my entire life on it but I goddamnit I can't give up on it. The goal is to empty my opponent's hand as quickly as possible to deplete their resources, punish them for it and fire away with quick burn spells or creatures. Cards like Duress, Inquisition of Kozilek and Brain Pry all give me insight on my opponent's immediate strategy, and Raven's Crime and Cry of Contrition both have potential to force 2 or more discards without bias of what they are, the ladder combos well with most of the creatures which do the rest of the dirty work for the win. Inspired by the classic 8-Rack deck with a Rakdos twist. Any suggestions are welcome I'm all ears. Eventually I will have some Thoughtseize for this thing.
