Deck overview

This is a mono-black discard-stax deck commanded by Rankle, Master of Pranks. The primary strategy leverages Rankle's combat damage trigger to force symmetrical discard, life loss, and sacrifice, breaking parity with cards like Waste Not, Liliana's Caress, and Bone Miser. It aims to grind opponents out of resources while assembling one of several win conditions: the infinite Mindcrank + Bloodchief Ascension combo, massive mana from Cabal Coffers into Exsanguinate/Torment of Hailfire, or a soft lock with Contamination.
