Deck overview

This mono-black attrition deck uses Tinybones, Bauble Burglar to turn symmetrical discard into unilateral card advantage and theft. The game plan focuses on deploying Tinybones on turn 2 and following up with group discard effects like Burglar Rat, Elderfang Disciple, and Dark Deal. Discarded opposing cards are exiled with stash counters, allowing you to cast them using any color of mana. Meanwhile, damage engines like Liliana's Caress, Megrim, Raiders' Wake, and Painful Quandary heavily punish opponents for losing cards and casting spells. As hands empty, opponents enter top-deck mode while Waste Not, Geth's Grimoire, and Tinybones generate mana, tokens, and stolen spells. The deck wins by combining continuous discard drain, Tinybones, Trinket Thief activations, and combat damage from stolen threats and Zombie armies.
