Deck overview

This deck is a Grixis Discard Control deck led by Kefka, Court Mage, combining symmetric discard effects with heavy asymmetric payoffs and an infinite combo finish. During the early turns, the deck accelerates mana using two-mana artifacts and deploys setup engines like Waste Not or Harmonic Prodigy. On Turn 4, casting Kefka, Court Mage initiates symmetrical discard and refuels the hand by drawing for each unique card type discarded across the table. In the mid-game, the deck leverages asymmetric lock pieces such as Narset, Parter of Veils and Notion Thief alongside wheel spells like Windfall and Dark Deal to strip opponents of their hands while generating massive card advantage. Creature threats are controlled through repeatable board wipes like Archfiend of Ifnir and targeted removal. The deck closes games reliably on Turn 6 by executing the Dualcaster Mage and Twinflame infinite token loop or overrunning depleted opponents with token swarms and commander damage.
