Hi folks,
My son demands I build a Drake Haven deck. Yay.
So I thought I'd go down a different track and build the Dimir self-discard version. This is the balls-and-all version - it's running four Windfalls and four Frantic Searches. Given their various illegalities, you may want to swap these out for other things depending on your own playgroup's tastes (maybe Day's Undoing / Whispering Madness and Careful Study).
Spells - 20
4 Frantic Search(Free draw and discard!)
4 Windfall(Refills our hand after we've dumped it)
4 Rescind(Cycling bounce spell, deals with non-creature permanents if we follow with Windfall)
3 Raven's Crime(Discard outlet, hand disruption, can force our own discard at a pinch)
2 Reminisce(Sticks our graveyard back in our library, triggers Talrand)
3 Dimir Signet(Ramp)
Land - 23
3 Drownyard Temple(Another free discard)
20 moar land of various flavours
My chief concerns at the moment are:
The only way this thing currently deals with non-creature problems is Rescind followed up with Windfall. Suspect I may need something more. Perhaps a mass bouncer like Crush of Tentacles, or Kederekt Leviathan (which can be unearthed after being discarded).
Obviously, full playsets of Windfall and Frantic Search aren't for everyone. If I have to power this down later on, it may become too slow.
