When Tinybones, Trinket Thief got announced, I picked up a few of the older discard enchantments. Though obtaining a the little thief has been difficult with Jumpstart's very limited availability in Scotland. Even still, having a card which clearly illustrates that your deck is going to be making your opponent discard tends to cause hate before the first draw step. So I decided to build Xantcha, Sleeper Agent. This logic which led me to build a wheel and windfall zombie tribal Thraximundar rather than Nekusar, the Mindrazer.

The nice upside about running Xantcha, Sleeper Agent, is that your opponents are more likely to pay for her ability to draw cards if they don't have any in their hand. This also means that they'll have cards to discard to trigger effects like Waste Not.
