Deck overview

This is a Grixis chaos/group-slug deck helmed by Kefka, Court Mage // Kefka, Ruler of Ruin. The front face is a discard-and-draw engine - every entry or attack forces each player to discard, then rewards you with a card per card type discarded - while the back face turns opponent life loss during your turn into raw card advantage. The deck leans hard into symmetrical chaos and "everyone draws/ramps" effects: Wheel of Misfortune, Magus of the Wheel, Descent into Avernus, Mana Flare, Mass Hysteria, Hive Mind, and Forced Fruition all accelerate the table while Kefka's back side converts that chaos into a massive hand. Wins come from grinding life totals down via Descent into Avernus and Prisoner's Dilemma, equalizing with Repay in Kind, goading opponents' creatures into each other, and occasionally stealing a board with Living Death or Rise of the Dark Realms. It is a slow, political, inevitability-driven deck rather than a fast combo deck.
