Wrench Mind one more Hymn.

Strongarm Tactics niche. Kind of a "damned if you do, damn if you don't" kind of card.

Noxious Vapors potential.

Pulse of the Dross the deck looks like it leans Hellbent. This is a great discard outlet with built in Buyback.

Moved 3x Wrench Mind to sideboard and brought in 2x Inquisition of Kozilek & 1x Liliana of the Veil from their sideboard positions. Inquisitions open up mana a little more and give space for Liliana.

Balaam__ you're so right! In truth this deck is put together based on things I had around the house at the time of the idea, and it's certainly effective. Even Wrench Mind has a place here, but I certainly appreciate the recommendation! I have roughly 40.00$ left for improvement cards based on this build, so I could likely do an updates and discussion tab to detail "what do we do to make it better" kinda things. Any other tidbits of wisdom? You've always got really great feedback based on whatever the current goal is and I just want you to know you're appreciated.

Thanks again, Balaam__!

Hi there! How is it going? I know this deck was uploaded many years ago, but since it says it was updated two weeks ago from now, I'll drop a comment.

Even though it is a budget deck, you can still put one or two Liliana, Waker of the Dead since it is an economic card that does what you need.

Notes: - 21 lands seems too few for a deck that discards lands to Raven's Crime and also sacrifices lands to Smallpox - 3 copies of Murderous Cut seems too much since you won't be able to quickly drop 15 cards to your graveyard for it's delve. I really like the card, but the safest choice would be to play a singleton (only 1 copy) since you don't to see more than 1 in your hand. So maybe replace 2 copies of it for Fatal Push or Bloodchief's Thirst - Taking out all 8 racks for the whole rat pack would turn your discard cards kinda useless since you won't be getting any advantage out of your empty handed opponent (except for that single Nezumi Shortfang  ^Flip ). So maybe what you should for the second match is to take out the Smallpox and the Wrench Mind and also the Raven's Crime since you will prefer to discard those extra lands to Pack Rat instead of discarding them to Raven's.

Always nice to see some 8rack, even better if its WB.

Some of my comments: Is Liliana of the Veil not here because of budget?

I don't know your local meta, but Smallpox is a great card and it also lets you discard lingering souls so I'd definitely go up to four. Wrench Mind is probably one of the worst cards here so I'd cut it to make space. If you go up to a playset of pox, you can also make better use of the WB colors by running 3-4 Flagstones of Trokair and 2 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth. T1 urborg + targeted discard into T2 flagstones + smallpox is backbreaking.

I'm not sure how good Prismatic Ending is in a 2 color deck. If you find that it works for you, great. If it seems like you frequently wish you had three colors, I'd probably cut it.

There's a lot of cards in WB colors that you could run to make better use of the splash. Kaya's Guile is great, also decent in the SB for grave hate and the edict effect is sometimes useful (even leyline won't save you now bogles player). Damn is a nice 1-of, but you could easily run 2-3.

Hope you find this helpful :)

if you want to go into a hand disruption deck, consider 8-rack for a quick guide ( Shrieking Affliction , The Rack , Davriel, Rogue Shadowmage +cards like Raven's Crime , Wrench Mind , etc.

Surgical Extraction its just a good card that helps pretty much any deck and Waste Not its a neat card (expensive tho)

I cut dance because it brings the creatures in tapped and I can't uncap it without paying a tax to do so (everytime)I didn't like how it played in the game i had it in so I cut it for more hand disruption (thoughtseize)

Thoughts on the four mentioned:

Go Blank - I like the full value that Tergid squeezes out of this card. because of the "period" they would discard-teragrid swipes what they discard if applicable-then they exile the yard. It's kind of gotcha kinda cute so, when I can get more games in i'll know better how to respond to the meta game questions

To answer the question yes it was printed in Strixhaven

Hymn to Tourach - I like this card always have is the best option i have out of the other three mentioned discard spells

Wrench Mind - this card isn't good per say after turn 2 so axe that all together

Plumb the Forbidden - I like this draw spell, good counter to board wipes or a good way to make use of my own tokens or creatures I steal from others.

Side note: Tergrid has played in three 1v1 games and a lot of the time im not really getting to "play" the deck as it wasn't built for 1v1. Im getting a little agitated at that not gonna lie. that aside Oppression is still in the deck, i'm not cutting that it's to good. I guess I just need to wait longer for actual multiplayer games.
