I think running discard and forced sac makes orzov control way better. Deck feels smooth as butter in playtest, time to ask for you guys to try it out vs whatever you're running and get some feedback.

General concept for the deck is that every deck in the meta feels like it needs every single card in its hand to succeed. So I want to take a chunk out of their hand and see if they crumble.

Not relying on Seam Rip or Pinnacle Starcage in the mainboard, which can be bounced with Boomerang Basics which has found its way into seemingly every deck, makes me feel a lot better. 2x Starcage in the sideboard because it's still strong, I would just rather be able to choose when to bring it. Cut Down looks like the clear answer here looking at meta cards but it's really gonna come down to how does it feel to play. So many decks rely on 2 CMC creatures that get bigger fast.

I really like the idea of choosing to play second in this deck. It means 1 less card to discard from their hands, but also if you hold your turn 1 mana you can pop their 2 cost creature with Cut Down as it comes out, before it has a chance to get big. Then, untap and have 2 free mana to push on your second turn.

Sideboard has 9 cards for the control mirror match but not sure it needs it because discard is already strong. There are just 9 creature only removal spells that probably do next to nothing against the mirror match. Anti-Graveyard in the mainboard idk how smart that is just been seeing that a lot, will see after playtests. Strategic Betrayal is versatile enough for it to not matter.
