Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Discard Advantage"},{"attributes":{"header":2},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nDo you enjoy putting things in the graveyard (your hand and deck, opponents creatures, etc)? If yes, then this might be the deck for you. This commander is not good, but with a little luck can be fairly oppressive. This is kind of like a bad version of Massacre Girl, except it has a couple of additional hooks to play around with. First, the \"board wipe\" is one sided which means that Malfegor can wreck everyone else's board while you're left with an open path to attack. Secondly, although the discarding the entirety of your hand is rough it's not nearly as bad when the deck is filled with cards that want to be reanimated. Finally, there are plenty of ways in black to refill your hand based on death triggers, so if luck is on your side you can get a one sided board wipe with the plus of a whole brand new hand.\n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"Stats (Updated January 2025)"},{"attributes":{"header":3},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"2025:\tGames Won- 0\n\t\t\t\tGames Played- 0\n\t\t\t\tWin Percentage- 0%\n\t\t\t\tAvg.
