Big fan of discard, but not of the saltiness that comes with the strat? Xantcha, Sleeper Agent can help maybe!

The deck is focused around discarding cards from opponent's hands with cards like Words of Waste, and benefitting from said discarding with cards like Geth's Grimoire. This will hopefully entice people to use the Xantcha, Sleeper Agent effect, bringing opponent's life totals down. Fun!

Since we are discarding too, I felt that we should have combos that work with the graveyard. I went with Worldgorger Dragon and Animate Dead. This would give us infinite colored mana, allowing us to use Xantcha's ability Ad Nauseum (no pun intended). We have several other infinite combos in this deck, centered around infinite mana. These are Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth and Storm-Kiln Artist + Chain of Smog.

If you have any suggestions to make this deck pop lmk! :)
