Homebrewed U/B Death's Shadow deck packing a proactive discard and extract gameplan with Surgical Extraction + Thoughtseize as the main enablers for your Shadows while tearing apart your opponent's hand and deck to stop them exacting their gameplan before you can realise yours. Also helps remove any outs they may have.

A playset of Thought Scour, a couple of Opt and a Search for Azcanta   as card advantage.

Fatal Push as removal, just ensure you take the creatures it can't hit with your discard. Murderous Cut is there as a one-of if needed.

Liliana of the Veil does double duty as removal for hard to kill creatures and with her discard. If you ever ultimate it's just the icing on the cake.

A playset of Snapcaster Mage is mandatory due to the low mana cost of all our spells.

A couple of Stubborn Denial is a one mana hard counter when the Shadows are up and running, and a noncreature Force Spike people forget about the rest of the time.

A few Inquisition of Kozilek and a singleton Collective Brutality round out the discard.

A couple of Extirpate, and a fun-of Lost Legacy for combo, finish off the extraction package.

Lastly, a single Tasigur, the Golden Fang rounds out the threats.
