This is a semi-competitive, fun deck that I just threw together mainly on a whim that drew inspiration from an old deck that Caleb Durward played on stream.

Where his deck mainly relied on Rotting Regisaur and synergies with Unearth to deal massive damage, I wanted to go for a more jank control/discard/life loss deck.

The gameplan is pretty simple - shred your opponent's hand to pieces with predominantly Thoughtseize, Inquisition, Lightning Skelemental, Kroxa, Davriel, K-command, Raven's Crime (probably should just be 4th Thoughtseize, just thought it would be nice to have flood insurance) and Nezumi Shortfang  ; then gain card advantage with Bob and Castle Locthwain, and finish your opponent off with Stabwhisker the Odious, Davriel, The Rack, and Shrieking Affliction. Again, a very silly way to take pressure your opponent once you've taken their hand, but I thought it'd be fun to try.

Push, K-command, Collective Brutality, and Dreadbore are removal to help keep you in the game, although I can see this deck having a hard time getting back in once falling behind. I've also thought about Dreadhorde Arcanist mainboard along with Bolt instead of Dreadbore so you can get even more value from your discard/kill spells. I opted for Dreadbore because there are a number of things that Bolt doesn't deal with (e.g. Uro, Urza, Wrenn and Six) and I just want to answer those threats. Not sure what the proper number of Davriels, Lilianas, Racks, Shrieking Afflictions, and Shortfangs should be. Happy to take any suggestions!
