Arena Standard - Orzhov Discard

Overview

So with THB here, we've got some new toys to play with. Well, I'll admit I'm a bit of a sucker for Doom Foretoldimage and try to put it even where it may not belong. However, with the likes of our newest best friend Nightmare Shepherdimage, we now have some interesting interactions to explore and the power level of this beloved archetype of mine has considerably risen since Eldraine hit. And, boy, is this fun to play.

Discard core

For the discard package, we have the usual suspects: Yarok's Fenlurkerimage, Burglar Ratimage, Basilica Bell-Hauntimage, alongside with our favorite Charming Princeimage for recursion and some very important draw fixing in the early game.

Dying with style

The trick is having these guys die while Nightmare Shepherdimage is in the battlefield for retriggering their enter-the-battlefield discard effects. The rest of the deck assures they can die usefully by also capitalizing in Midnight Reaperimage's effect, or by serving as fodder for Doom Foretoldimage, or even as a sacrifice for Cavalier of Nightimage's ETB effect. Even when the situation might seem dire, we can reset the board with Kaya's Wrathimage and potentialy having a mass retriggering of ETB effects.

Kaya is there to kill that unbearably annoying cat-oven. 

I suppose the sideboard is pretty standard for the Eldraine meta. Do not forget to side Kaya. I'm thinking about Hushbringerimage as an option. Still not sure, though.

I hope you have as much fun as I've had with this!

Cheers!
