Deck overview

This deck is a Grixis Discard Control-Combo list built around Kefka, Court Mage. It accelerates mana on early turns using efficient artifacts and cost reducers to cast Kefka ahead of curve. Once on the battlefield, Kefka forces symmetrical discard while drawing multiple cards for each unique card type discarded. The deck breaks parity through potent discard payoffs such as Waste Not, Tergrid, God of Fright, and Archfiend of Ifnir, systematically emptying opposing hands while maintaining overwhelming card advantage. Disabling auras like Frogify and Imprisoned in the Moon neutralize opposing commanders directly on the board, preventing opponents from recasting them from the command zone. To close out games, the deck digs through its library to assemble the infinite combo of Niv-Mizzet, Parun and Curiosity, dealing lethal damage to all opponents in a single turn.
