Strategy: Political Discord = Encourage opponents to attack each other, pump and protect xantcha, and protect myself to watch the show. =)

Using Discard spells here to encourage players to use Xantcha's draw ability which sows discord between players as they will need to draw cards but damages player controlling Xantcha.
