This is deck is a lot of fun and surprisingly competitive. The deck is centered around discard spells and Waste Not. The idea is to have the opponent discard as much as possible using spells that will also refill their hand to allow us to keep going. As they keep discarding we build resources (mana, creatures, card advantage) from Waste Not. The other alternative win condition is to stick a Liliana's Caress and use Discard to drain opponent's life. Plan C is Demigod of Revenge Beatdowns. Blood Moon is great off the bench. It is almost good enough to include in the main 60.

The deck is great at grinding. Through our massive amounts of discard, the opponent is constantly off their game. The card and board state advantage overwhelm in the mid to late game. Faithless Looting, Liliana of the Veil and Delve decks do too much damage to themselves.

The downside is that Aggro decks and quick decks are the downfall. I still have not pulled a win from Affinity. Burn is heavily favored, but I've been able to steal some matches. Any advice on improving against fast decks is appreciated. Thanks!!
