Overview:

This Blim, Comedic Genius deck focuses on forced discard synergy and gifting detrimental permanents to opponents. The core strategy involves deploying punishment enchantments like Liliana's Caress and Megrim, then using Blim's combat damage trigger or direct donation effects to saddle opponents with game-losing permanents like Demonic Pact or Captive Audience. Secondary wincons include life drain through mass discard and X-spells like Torment of Hailfire.

Primer:

Core Strategy:

1. Early Setup: Play discard payoffs (Waste Not, Geth's Grimoire) and problematic permanents to donate. Use Dark Ritual/Crypt Ghast to accelerate into key 4-5 mana plays.
2. Midgame Pressure: Connect with Blim using Whispersilk Cloak to donate game-warping permanents. Activate forced discard through Rankle, Master of Pranks and Rakdos's Return.
3. Closing Plays: Leverage donated Aggressive Mining/Captive Audience to lock opponents out, then finish with Peer into the Abyss + discard triggers or Tinybones, Trinket Thief's activated ability.

Mulligan Priorities:

• Keep hands with 3+ mana sources including black
• Prioritize opening with at least 1 discard payoff (Megrim) and 1 acceleration/donation enabler
• Reject hands lacking black mana or reliant solely on Blim

Key Tips:

• Sequence donations carefully - give Demonic Pact after 3 uses, Grid Monitor to non-artifact decks
• Use Opposition Agent to hijack opponents' tutors when casting Scheming Symmetry
• Protect Blim with Darksteel Plate before attempting combat donations

Weaknesses:

Critical

• Dies to enchantment removal (no Boseiju/Toxic Deluge)
• Struggles if Blim is removed 3+ times

Moderate

• Slow recovery from board wipes
• Limited graveyard recursion

Minor

• Vulnerable to artifact hate (multiple key equipments)

Most Important Cards:

• Waste Not
• Necropotence
• Captive Audience
• Demonic Pact
• Peer into the Abyss
• Tinybones, Trinket Thief
• Opposition Agent
• Torment of Hailfire
• Aggressive Mining
• Painful Quandary

Attribute Ratings:

Speed: 5/10
Can threaten T7-8 wins via donated game-enders or mass discard, but lacks fast mana for explosive starts.

Resilience: 4/10
Moderate protection for Blim but foldsto repeated removal. Key enchantments vulnerable to hate.

Consistency: 6/10
9 tutors/draw engines and redundant discard effects enable reliable setup.

Interaction: 5/10
Limited instant-speed answers (Bedevil, Kolaghan's Command), relies on sorcery-speed removal.

Rating Justification:

While capable of powerful stax-lite locks and life drain, the deck's reliance on combat damage for optimal donations and vulnerability to common removal keeps it below optimized tiers.

Power level: 4.0 - 5.0
