Discard but Edgy by user2880800

Format: Commander

Commander: Winter, Misanthropic Guide

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Winter is the deck's engine. Its upkeep trigger makes each player draw two cards, and once the deck turns on delirium it also shrinks every opponent's maximum hand size. The primary plan is a mass draw-and-discard attrition kill: combine Will-of-??? draw effects with draw-punishers such as Sheoldred, Razorkin Needlehead, Fate Unraveler, and Spiteful Visions, then convert every forced discard into damage, mana, or treasure with Waste Not and Tergrid. Secondary paths are land-loop grinding with Lord Windgrace, Life from the Loam, Wrenn and Six, and Shifting Woodland. In Tergrid's case the deck is built around the Lantern face as an active discard driver; the God face becomes the incidental theft payoff. The hidden commander is Lord Windgrace, providing reusable value rather than a second win condition.
