Deck overview

This deck is a discard-focused control/value engine helmed by Kefka, Court Mage // Kefka, Ruler of Ruin. The primary strategy uses Kefka's ETB to force each opponent to discard, then draws cards for each card type discarded, generating massive card advantage. A dense package of flicker effects (Conjurer's Closet, Thassa, Deep-Dwelling, Displacer Kitten, Deadeye Navigator) reuses Kefka's trigger multiple times, while discard payoffs like Waste Not, Liliana's Caress, Archfiend of Ifnir, and Monument to Endurance convert those discards into mana, tokens, life drain, and board control. The deck also runs a robust interaction suite with counterspells and removal, and can close games through Exsanguinate, Rise of the Dark Realms, Niv-Mizzet, Parun beatdown, or Tergrid, God of Fright theft. It is a grindy, attrition-based deck that aims to out-value opponents over the long game.
