Deck overview

This is a Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger discard-and-drain deck that weaponizes each opponent's lost cards into life loss, token generation, and mana. The primary plan forces discards through wheels, symmetrical effects, and Kroxa's own triggers, then punishes with Liliana's Caress, Fell Specter, Raiders' Wake, and Painful Quandary. The deck's finisher is the Exquisite Blood + Bloodthirsty Conqueror infinite life-drain loop, which can be assembled via the handful of tutors and wheel-driven digging. Waste Not turns opponent discards into ramp, tokens, or cards, while Black Market Connections provides flexible value. Worldfire offers a reset-button alternate win if Kroxa can be escaped afterward.
