I recently got back into Magic after a pretty long hiatus. After discovering that Megrim got reprinted via Liliana's Caress, I decided to try and make a fun and viable discard/burn deck.
Nothing too complicated, the idea is to get a few of the enchantments out and do some massive damage with the burning inquiries and blightnings. Memory Jar is a surefire killer too, but I only wanted 2 since I usually end up doing enough damage before I get those out. Howling mine's in there to draw more and restock my opponents' hands for more discard.
** I originally had this thing totally creatureless with some terminates and other removal instead of the specters, but realized that the hippies are just too good to pass up (especially when I've got 4 dark rituals).
Basically just wondering if there are some new cards I don't know about that might fit in well, or if there are any you see here that you think would be worth passing up.
// 6 Creatures
4 Hypnotic Specter
2 Blazing Specter
// 20 Spells
4 Blightning
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Duress
4 Burning Inquiry
4 Dark Ritual
// 4 Artifacts
2 Howling Mine
2 Memory Jar
// 8 Enchantments
4 Liliana's Caress
4 Megrim
// 22 Lands
12 Swamp
4 Tainted Peak
3 Sulfurous Springs
5 Mountain
I realize that there are much better dual lands for these colors (Dragonskull Summit, etc.) but I don't quite have the budget/see the necessity to invest in those right now.
