    I love discard decks. Whenever blue players complain of my unrelenting discard effects, I just tell them to think of them as preemptive counterspells.

    This is one of my mainstay modern decks! Interesting to see that the deck I've been playing (using Affliction) is actually fairly new to the family.

    I love Megrim! One of my favourite decks is my Megrim/Hypnotic Specter deck. It's just so much fun!
    PS. Wow, Davriel is just a Rack/Discard combo all by themselves. It kinda takes the fun out of deckbuilding at that point.

  • @TheIndustrialRetrospective

    I had a U/B deck that used howling mines and windfall with megrim and underworld dreams that was pretty vicious, had a few jars in there as fallback wincon.

    Maybe my favorite old deck. Usually effective lol (yep old af, 90s)
    4 Hymn
    4 Mindstab Thrull
    4 Hyppie
    4 Rack
    4 dark ritual
    3 Disrupting Scepter
    4 Stupor/Coercion
    4 Sengir Vampire
    4 Terror
    3 Funeral Charm
    22 Swamp
    Love that deck, but not tolerated very often 😂. Secured by turn 3-4. I have a version of that deck with 4 Sinkhole and 4 Icequake, also mean. Awesome video, thx Nizza!

    Interesting type of decks here. Possibly the ones I like the least To face in commander. Can just imagine how frustrating these would have been in tourneys. Fingers crossed that Tergrid can’t become a thing in standard.

    In 1999 as a kid without any idea about formats and rules I just played with my brothers collection of older cards and buying booster packs and just using all cards available to me. I remember building black deck with Megrim with Hyppies and some other discard stuff, but also Wall of Souls. To us kids, that card was so OP it was almost unfair, I loved bouncing back that damage from my friends creatures.

    With the printing of Tergrid, edh has a very powerful discard deck. Other edh discard decks are pretty good but they're very inefficient. But if you can get Tergrid on the field, then you're getting a ton of value.

    Surprised there's never been a successful deck that paired Black discard with Blue bounce/card draw. Just on paper you'd think something like Unsummon would be cheaper than trying to remove the opponent's board outright. Maybe it's too many moving parts?
