A Better Tinybones, Trinket Thief | Jumpstart's Discard Commander | MTG EDH CEDH Deck Tech Primer

[@DeeSimsLP]

So, I built Tergrid... And people didn't just hate the deck, they hated me. So I decided to transform the deck to a Tinybones discard deck. I'll still run Tergrid tho... 😈

I was thinking of building Muldrotha as a mass discard commander and running this in the 99. Muldrotha gives you the way to break parity in symmetrical discard. And any deck that lets you run two copies of black lotus (jeweled lotus and LED) seems decent.

You still play this list ever? Thinking about shifting my Tergrid into TB. Not fond of Tergrid cause of the CMC and hoop jumping. TB seems fun but a little in the same vein.

[@LocalGameGroup]

Card advantage when your opponents suffer disadvantage? It's good, but you paint a huge target on your head. Oddly enough, it's difficult to get an "ideal" hand, but I would prefer this over Tergrid (personally). Definitely worth updating/testing.

[@True_Ronin]

@@LocalGameGroup yeah it’s obviously a deck that puts you into the arch enemy slot and it just doesn’t seem like it’s a deck that can hold off 3.

[@LocalGameGroup]

Nooo, no… Definitely don’t want to be the only player doing control/stax… Same is true for any Stax-centric deck. I loved playing this one, but at the time everyone I regularly played with was doing something proactive. That’s since changed, so now that the pod is more balanced TB would be favored.

[@davidriley7086]

Funny enough I was just working and building a Liliana, Heretical Healer discard sac deck. Then wow this guy got spoiled! Just a bunch of commons and uncommons I need. Easy enough to build.

[@FOWST]

I'm currently building mono black rankle and building around nezumi bone-reader, dark deal and ill-gotten gains as main win cons. Got reassembling skeletons, bloodghast and endless cockroaches to sacrifice again and again and also a couple of "undying, persist" etc. creatures. Discard seems more like a side effect though and it's not going quite as planned.

[@FOWST]

TL;DR: Nezumi Bone-Reader

[@VampiricGamess]

The reason on why discard is not instant speed is because most of the time it would be played on draw step so if your opponent does not draw an instant you would lock them out of the game because they would lose it before they could use it. With that being said, vedalken orrery is a fun card for this to overcome this issue. Love the deck tech even two years later lol.

[@samniemann6890]

Finally a solid discard commander! I have questions on a couple cards not in the list. First being the new Liliana from M21. I know she's 4 mana but her abilities really synergize well with what the deck is trying to do. Second is Library of Leng. Seems like a good way to keep cards we want in our hand to stay there.

[@LocalGameGroup]

*Library of Leng* is largely unnecessary, as we’re Discarding redundancies more often than not. The instances for Leng’s resourcefulness are far and now. Regarding M21 Liliana... She’s essentially a lesser Lili/Veil... However, the redundancy of Mass Discard and removal would be nice. You could definitely run both.

[@solotopp]

I am so excited man. 2 cmc. Draws about 3 cards per turn cycle. Can finally legitimately make people discard.

[@rabbithole8858]

[@timmackinnon]

I really love the Skirge Familiar / Faith of the Devoted Tech. Your deck is pretty similar to mine. I have a couple different combos in mine but I might take one out to add the familiar combo. Can I suggest that you add Mindcrank? You already have Bloodchief Ascention. Its so easy to just grab that other piece and go. Its worked well in my list

[@LocalGameGroup]

I dislike how slow that combination is... Bloodchief is already a flexspot in the list. It takes a while to get active, particularly when I’m the main target for attacks. I usually win through attrition, so the *need* for an infinite combo isn’t quite there. However, I can see why others would enjoy those two in tandem. Underworld Breach is a huge part of the cEDH meta. I cannot afford to play Mindcrank into that strategy... (2-to-3/4 decks run it at any given table I play).

[@atwistedsky9169]

From my understanding the reason they haven't given us instant speed discard where we can pick as yet is because it would then allow us to essentially snipe people's hands post tutor, essentially making tutors more risky/potentially useless unless it's something you can use at instant speed.

[@LocalGameGroup]

With the limitations many of these have: it’s still not that bad. It would be no worse than having a card Countered, you’d simply be eliminating a Card option at Instant instead of Sorcery.

[@willj3952]

@@LocalGameGroup Actually i believe the reason is to avoid forcing discard during an opponent's draw step, denying them card draw and locking them out of the game.

[@LocalGameGroup]

So long as one Opponent Discarded a Card in any given Turn, you net 1 Draw. No more, no less. Unless there’s a rules clarification making this even better, that’s how I am playing it 👌

[@andyik9009]

great video again! damn this deck seems toxic to play against. have you thought about adding stronghold rats? believe it or not, but not many players play creatures with shadow :P

[@LocalGameGroup]

Haha, no they don't! I had given thought to it though... Make some use of that Combat Phase... There's definitely ways to improve upon the formula. I think more Creature-centric Discard is the right approach. Ideally get *Diabolic Intent* back in as well. I played a few games last night... Nooo one liked *Oppression,* nor *Chains of Mephistopheles.* Good times, good times.

[@andyik9009]

@@LocalGameGroup i like it in my Nath deck. ofcourse the enchantments that make people discard a card every round are very strong, but some rounds you really don't want to discard. And with these cute little rats you can decide to skip a turn if you rather not discard an important card. And he is basically as unblockable as Rankle. Maybe you can find a sweet spot to put it in by replacing one of your sorcery speed discard effects?

[@xSkye629x]

Looking at your decklist, can I ask how do you play through all your own Stax pieces?

Like everyone else: cautiously. You choose what to/to not play, so you have the upper hand in pacing the game. If you can turn 1 Trinisphere, you do. Tinybones is mid-to-late game deck.

[@shoroku1101]

Can Delirium schemes be used if you have less than 3 cards in hand? Doesn’t seem like a cost so if that is the case it can close the gap of card advantage if you’re the one down on cards

[@LocalGameGroup]

You can use this if you had zero cards in hand. 👌

[@shoroku1101]

The 99 then I’d strongly consider not cutting it. Bc it can be used to close that gap of an unchecked thrasios or rhystic/ mystic gives them

[@flamingRose100]

Mind crank would also be a good infinite combo and demonic tutor

[@matthiasschulz1509]

I know it´s hard to put in due to the 4 cmc but have you tought about Sangromancer because of the gain 3 life whenever somebody discards a card? Normally I wouldn´t think about such cards because of the combo-nature of the vast majority of the decks in the format but for this it seems like a good fit. Except for the Necropotence... but on the other hand if u played it already its nice for your necropotence ;)

[@LocalGameGroup]

I know plenty of folks are favoring Sangromancer. There are some Instances were the Life Gain would be nice: if you’re the only Black list at the table, folks will Turn sideways to reduce your life, so get accustomed to taking Damage. Only in that Instance would I feel the need to Reanimate her. Most all other Instances, I would just want a greater redundancy of Creature removal. Adding to your Opponent’s Commander Tax and removing the Hatebears swinging at you is better than simply Gaining Life. Won’t need Life Gain if you’re not getting swung at.

This has inspired me to give Cedh a go with mono black :) I do have a question in regards to mentioning of mindslicer but not the include in the deck? Seems so good in this build and I’m really curious as to why it didn’t make the cut? Is it the cmc? Or was it the lack of sack outlet? Or was it because it hits your hand as well? Obviously you’d want to play it and get a pay off with Geths grimoire. Any input on this would be much appreciated :)

[@LocalGameGroup]

It requires more than itself to be decent. Mindslicer is not benefitted by how the deck is constructed. If you want mass discard that synergies well with the list, I recommend Dark Deal before considering Mindslicer.

[@brootal01]

It's a nonbo for the board, Turns your "Draw" into a "Rummage". It shuts off all cantrips when you get your Opponents hellbent though, that's the only reason you'd want it. You get them to a low point and keep them there. It also doesn't effect *Ad Nauseam* or *Necropotence,* so we're good. Again, you don't need it though.

[@sylvandata]

@@LocalGameGroup Fair; haven't played the deck so only working off of theory. Looking forward to some videos showcasing Skull Kid.

[@shoroku1101]

Not a nonbo at all bc it triggers tinybones more giving you more card selection then your opponents while also restricting them from gaining card advantage. It limits you and it limits them but it limits them so much more bc you will trigger tiny bones more and essentially get way more card selection....Slowing the game down and making it more a battle of attrition... stax in black :)
