Deck overview

This deck is a mono-black discard stax and attrition strategy commanded by Tinybones, Bauble Burglar. The primary plan is to deploy low-cost discard engines early, systematically emptying opposing hands while turning discarded cards into virtual card advantage via stash counters. The deck accelerates using powerful black rituals and cost reducers, transitioning into oppressive mid-game locks with cards like Oppression, Tergrid, God of Fright, and Painful Quandary. Once opponents are reduced to topdecking, the deck finishes the game through stacked passive burn effects like Liliana's Caress and Megrim, chunk life loss from Tinybones, Trinket Thief, or combat beatdown using reanimated threats and stolen permanents. While the deck boasts immense functional redundancy and severe hand suppression, it relies heavily on proactive denial rather than reactive stack protection and lacks answers to resolved artifacts and enchantments.
