Arena Standard - Tergrid Gets You Mortgaged
Midrange Control
What's more annoying than mill? Sacrifice and discard, but also stealing cards this way! The IRS takes your money, but Tergrid takes your opponent's cards.

About
The purpose of this deck it's to get the win while not letting the opponent to have cards, answers and some permanents.
Both Elderfang Disciple
and Acquisitions Expert
can lead to some early discard, actually, if you play the first and then the second, you would have access to see 2 cards from the opponent's hand and choose one to get discarded this way. Duress
it's a turn 1 drop that allows you to see your opponet's game (hand) and getting rid of a nonland/noncreature threat. In the meantime you try to gather the lands to cast Tergrid, God of Fright, the opponent will discard, sacrifice and get some creatures removed.
Elspeth's Nightmare
is great for removing weak power creatures, but also works like Duress on the saga's second act, then at third act, exiles opponent's graveyard, so they won't make use of it (like Lurrus or Kroxa decks). Soul Shatter
and Pharika's Libation
work alike, the first it's for bigger threats (creatures/planeswalkers) while the second it's more in case of enchantments than a creature. Skull Raid
can be foretold, but also it's versatile for drawing or make the opponent to discard. Castle Locthwain
and Agadeem's Awakening
are a must in monoblack decks, you alredy know what they do.
Rankle, Master of Pranks
fits perfectly with Tergrid and can get an extra damage or a card to boost the game. Inscription of Ruin
might be suitable mostly to discard, but also can be a removal or a reanimator, can be all by paying it's kicker cost. Liliana, Waker of the Dead
contributes to the discard mechanic and also acts as a removal. Murderous Rider
and Baleful Mastery
can get rid of targetable creatures or planeswalkers, and Massacre Wurm
as a handy boardwipe. Finally, Eyetwitch
it's mostly a chunk blocker to die for a Lesson Card or be sacrificed with Rankle or that can be brought back with the inscription of ruin or Agaadem's Awakening and learn again; lessons in the sideboard are varied and a plus which may fit to the situation.
