Discard Recursion by Kilgore

Format: Commander

Commander: Tinybones, Trinket Thief

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Tinybones, Trinket Thief leads a mono-black discard-control deck whose primary plan is to empty every opponent's hand and then activate the commander for 10 life apiece. The first layer uses upkeep effects and mass discard spells to strip hands; the second layer converts each discard into damage, tokens, mana, and cards through Liliana's Caress, Waste Not, and Tinybones's end-step draw. Tinybones, Bauble Burglar acts as a hidden commander and repeatable discard outlet, while Aclazotz provides attack-phase discards and a land fallback. The deck wins through a single sized activation once hands are empty, or by attrition drain if the battlefield is hostile. It is a slow but consistent midrange disruption engine.
