The Sith counterpart to BANTha Poo-Doo Jedi!

The Sith theme I've decided on (for now, at least) is discard - hence Gwendlyn Di Corci as the commander, although I think it'd be interesting to add a bit of graveyard recursion since Palpatine hints that a Sith Lord was able to bring someone back from the dead.

As with the Jedi, this is intended to be a dual-tribal deck with (Sith) Warriors and maybe Wizards or Shaman for that Sith Lightning flavor.

Again, equipment focuses on bladed weapons to be the stand-in for lightsabers, but who says you can't have Whip of Erebos be a lightwhip instead of lightsaber?

Since this deck is a high-concept work in progress, comments, questions, and deck suggestions are all most welcome, though I would appreciate having a thematic justification for any cards suggested.

Similar to BANTha Poo-Doo Jedi!, I included the uncommon Paragon creatures from M15, uncommon Archetype creatures from BNG, and Runemark auras from FRF, and their respective types made it easier to keep a warrior tribal theme in the deck, while still being what I feel is a significantly more powerful or oppressive deck.

I also decided to reduce the lightning aspect in favor of more discard. In this scenario, lightning burn spells are obviously force lightning, but I'm still a fan of discard effects being similar to force choke - literally choking the life or choices out of my opponent. However, to perhaps offset some of this cruelty in my own twisted logic, instead of the more powerful targeted spells like Thoughtseize and Despise, I'm going for mass discarding of full hands (Wheel of Fortune, Whispering Madness, etc.), or letting my opponents choose which cards they discard (Hymn to Tourach, Mind Peel, Mind Ravel, etc.).

There's also a bit of a cruelty/torture theme going, with cards like Torture, Deserter's Quarters, Cruel Ultimatum, Tasigur's Cruelty, etc.

I used to have Laboratory Maniac in here, but have since taken him out. If I find I start to run through the library quite quickly, though, I just might need to stick him back in.
