Modern Girl: Mono-Black Discard a.k.a. Liliana's Rack


This dark little gem is still in testing, but if you like to watch your opponents' faces twist as you subject them to crucibles of decision-making agony, it's probably the deck for you. Comment or Tweet me @moxymtg, I would love to chat about it with like-minded black mages. The mister gets credit for the card choice here - it was my idea, and I made executive cuts - but he came up with the list. Good team, gung ho!

Land (22)
20 Swamp
1 Bojuka Bog
1 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth

Creatures (6)
4 Dark Confidant
2 Augur of Skulls

Planeswalkers (4)
4 Liliana of the Veil

Spells (28)
4 Thoughtseize
4 Inquisition of Kozilek
4 Wrench Mind
4 Shrieking Affliction
4 The Rack
4 Victim of Night
2 Infest
1 Doom Blade
1 Funeral Charm

Sideboard
2 Ensnaring Bridge
2 Torpor Orb
2 Grafdigger's Cage
2 Deathmark
1 Infest
1 Sadistic Sacrament
1 Surgical Extraction
1 Mutilate
1 Relic of Progenitus
1 Go for the Throat
1 Geth's Verdict

Enjoy.

  1. Hello fellow black mage - discard decks are fun. :)
    You may find that you have too many discard effects in the mid-late game. Finding a way to turn any dead cards into advantage, like Pack Rat, might be helpful.
    I've been using something like that in casual Legacy: http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/the-rats-in-the-walls-2/
