Hey all! The other day I wanted to make a traditional mono-black discard deck, then I noticed a playset of Shrieking Affliction  on my brother's set of cards, and have wanted to make a deck around it. What do you think of my decklist ? 4 x Blackmail  4 x Despise  4 x Ravenous Rats  4 x Black Cat  4 x Unburden  4 x Go for the Throat  4 x Dismember  4 x Slum Reaper  4 x Sign in Blood  4 x Shrieking Affliction 20 x Swamp

MAYBE Gnat Miser  or Locust Miser  to keep your opponent's hand size low enough that keeping it empty via once-a-turn discard is doable? Raven's Crime  so you can force discards again and again? Cheers!

Personally I would add in 4x Pack Rat  4x Drainpipe Vermin  as a secondary wincon instead of 4x Slum Reaper 4x Black Cat . I have found at times in discard themed decks that you get left with extra cards in hand and Pack Rat has a good way at dealing with that and stealing some games. The other option is to add in 4x Mutilate  for 4x Slum Reaper so you can reset the board. I hope this helps GL!

Needs some rack  to act as Affliction #5-8. This could also use some Stupor  , Hymn to Tourach  and/or some type of specter  . Specters are great creatures for discard decks and provide a way to continually discard cards. Speaking of continuous discard, the already mentioned Raven's Crime is nice. I've alway's been partial to Cry of Contrition  . I don't really like Slum Reaper compared to Fleshbag Marauder  , but regardlessof that, Multilate/ Damnation  / Barter in Blood  would be better board sweepers than Slum Reaper here. Hope this helps.

I was going to say, "what?! no Hymn to Tourach ?!" Then there is Liliana's Specter  and Hypnotic Specter  . I also like Drainpipe Vermin

Having your opponent discard down to 1 or 0 is only 1/2 the battle - you need them to stay like that. That is why you need cards which enable repeated discard - Rotting Rats  , Scepter Of Fugue  and the aforementioned Raven's Crime come to mind. Guul Draz Specter  both enables repeated discard and acts as an alternate win condition. Here are the alterations I suggest: - 4 Ravenous Rats + 4 Rotting Rats - 4 UnBurden  + 4 Scepter Of Fugue - 4 Slum Reaper + 4 Guul Draz Specter SkullCage  is an interesting card in Discard decks - thoughts?

Sorry for the rant, but the fact people keep suggesting this card bugs me...
I totally understand where you are coming from, some cards aren't for everyone. The reason I like him is he can make my opponent weary to block him if I attack (its happened) or makes blocking with the little guy just a little more satisfying They are the same CMC, it all just comes down to preference I guess
