This seems like it could be very, very good. This deck aims to take advantage of madness costs of creatures by having the commander make you discard your own cards. Since it doesn't say discard at random, you get to choose. As a result, you can put creatures in play for lower mana costs than they would otherwise have. Additionally, when these creatures die, you can later bring them back with the same ability.

Because of this, most creatures should have low converted mana costs overall. Draw and discard (ie, loot) effects are powerful in this deck. Creatures with evoke and echo costs are also useful.

The overall idea is to have access to a greater number of cards, allowing you to make responsive choices to how the board state is going. It may also be useful to sacrifice ETB creatures in order to have their effects repeatedly trigger.

For example: Repeatedly bringing back Demon's Disciple may lead to each opponent having far less creatures than you. It can sacrifice itself while you continue to build your own side. Given enough mana and cards in hand, you can do this on each opponent's turn.

Please note: Reduction of converted mana cost also applies if a card is cast from the graveyard.

Unexpected find: Viashiano Sandsprinter is the perfect card for this deck. It likes to be in your hand or in your graveyard more than the battlefield. Even if you recall it from the graveyard, you can later discard it for something else.

Win Conditions: Mortal Combat (win the game effect)

Yidaro, Wandering Monster (combat damage)

Graveblade Marauder and Rogue's Passage
