Deck Focus

The main focus of this deck is to control combat, and incentivize others players to leverage the card draw on Xantcha. It wins through this and damage boost effects throughout the deck. There is a mild sub-theme of discard to boost use of Xantcha's ability as well.

Additional Thoughts

There are some obvious upgrades that could be made, especially to the board wipe category and damaging spells, ie Toxic Deluge and Exsanguinate.

I am purposefuly staying away from combos like Rings and basalt monolith due to the meta of my playgroup.
