Hey team,
I've been wanting to get back to my roots with this new Dominaria set with a mono black discard deck. With cheap cards like Divest and Lay bare the heart, supported by kitesail freebooter and Dream stealer this deck is pretty good at top decking the opponent. This issue with discard decks is that once they start 'top decking' themselves the discard cards in your hand become redundant.
Enter Howling golem and Raider's wake. I'm playing around with the idea of pseudo milling the opponent with the interaction between those two cards. It also allows you to play heartless pillage to gain an extra resource.
I've found with the treasure tokens and the Cabal Strongholds that you can quickly gain enough mana to really hurt people with Torment of hailfire.
I really want to take this to FNM, and with Kaladesh soon to cycle out of standard I'm trying to keep this as current as possible. Any feed back would be great!
