I just played one, with maindecked Mind Rot  s, Ravenous Rat  s and at least one maindecked Duress  and it actually worked really well. He made me discard an Essence Drain  , Servant of Nefarox  and Nefarox, Overlord of Grixis  and that completely turned the tide in a way that playing creatures on his own side wouldn't have done. I beat him the next game but it was exceptionally close and the final game he got stuck on 2 lands which is generally an auto-loss, so I'm not counting it. Has anyone else seen a viable discard deck in limited lately?

I played that deck. I've actually played two versions. One was straight black, another was black/blue. I think the mono-black one was more effective. I sided in a Jadymae Tome and won the next two games.

I wouldn't bet on it in M13. Ravenous Rats  is far from what I'd call good discard. in some Cubes it can be possible though. Might be a thing once Return to Ravnica fills up with Dimir stuff from Gatecrash and Sinker though, playing Shrieking Affliction  , Mind Rot , and splashing red for Skull Rend  . What I really want though is graveyard synergy from Dimir and Simic (unlikely) so that I can make a wonky Chronic Flooding  deck.
