After lots and lots of testing on MWS I have concluded that nyxathid is viable and very underestimated. I have included wastelands as they are too good to pass on and sometimes win games on their own. The Rack has performed nicely but was the only card with no immediate effect and was removed because of limited deck space. My current list is the following:


Creatures (17)
1 Tempting Wurm
4 Tarmogoyf
4 Tidehollow Sculler
4 Dark Confidant
4 Nyxathid

Spells (18)
4 Swords to Plowshares
4 Funeral Charm
4 Inquisition of Kozilek
4 Hymn to Tourach
2 Gerrard's Verdict

Artifacts (3)
3 Sensei's Divining Top

Lands (22)
4 Wasteland
4 Marsh Flats
4 Verdant Catacombs
4 Scrubland
2 Bayou
1 Forest
1 Plains
2 Swamp

Sideboard (15)
4 Tormod's Crypt
2 Null Rod
3 Krosan Grip
3 Deathmark
3 Engineered Plague


Funeral Charm is truly a great card for this deck as it regularly takes out lackeys, bobs, lavamancers, almost any elf, instant discards after draw, ends goyf stalling, unblockable nyx vs swamps. Awesome Card. Currently working on a good sideboard. Haven't got the opportunity to side in jittes, perhaps Null Rod for affinity or sideboard The Rack. Constructive criticism is always welcomed.

Oh also, I did beat dredge, ichorid, reanimator, and cephalid breakfast decks despite the discard theme. G2 is much smoother.
