Deck overview

This deck is a mono-black discard attrition strategy commanded by Tinybones, Bauble Burglar. The primary game plan revolves around rapidly establishing continuous, table-wide discard engines such as Bottomless Pit, Necrogen Mists, and Oppression. As opponents discard cards, Tinybones, Bauble Burglar exiles them with stash counters, turning opposing graveyards into an extended card pool playable with mana of any color. Meanwhile, high-synergy payoffs like Waste Not and Geth's Grimoire break parity by converting discards into mana, zombie tokens, and card draw. Once opponents' hands are emptied, the deck locks down the board with Noetic Scales and applies lethal pressure through stacked Rack effects like Shrieking Affliction, Quest for the Nihil Stone, Liliana's Caress, and Bandit's Talent. Big-mana generators such as Cabal Coffers and Crypt Ghast provide explosive late-game finishes via Torment of Hailfire.
