Deck overview

This deck is a Grixis attrition and control build commanded by Kefka, Court Mage. It capitalizes on symmetrical discard effects that heavily break parity in your favor. When Kefka enters or attacks, each player discards a card while Kefka refills your hand based on the card types discarded across all four players. The deck converts opponent discards into immense board and mana advantage using staples like Waste Not, Tergrid, God of Fright, Archfiend of Ifnir, and Tinybones, Bauble Burglar. While lacking dedicated fast combo finishes, the deck chokes opposing resources through continuous hand disruption, denies counterplay with cards like Narset, Parter of Veils and Painful Quandary, and closes the game through transformed Kefka, combat beats with stolen creatures, or Psychosis Crawler drains.
