🧠 How It Plays (Jank Style)
🕷 Weird Synergies & Recursion
-
You drain yourself and your opponent with Serrated Scorpion, Vito, Gray Merchant, and Sign in Blood for value and pseudo lifegain.
-
Underrealm Lich + lots of discard/draw spells lets you sculpt hands and keeps the deck unpredictable.
🔄 Graveyard Value
-
Gutterbones comes back cheap, fueling aggro and recursion loops.
-
Sac triggers with Deadly Dispute + Poison the Cup give you tokens or extra card flow.
💀 Win-Cons That Feel Janky
-
Getting Vito out and cutting your own life to 5 or less with cheap spells can transform every drain into lethal bursts — chaotic and fun.
🧪 Sideboard Suggestions (Casual / Meta-Dependent)
If you’re testing in a meta (or with friends), consider:
-
Bloodchief’s Thirst (removal)
-
Soul-Shatter (cheap sweep)
-
Leyline of the Void (graveyard hate)
-
Duress (control matchup)
⚠️ Notes
-
This is a janky / fun deck, not a top competitive build — ideal for casual Standard and “mess around” sessions.
-
Card legality depends on the most recent rotation — check individual card legality if sets rotate.
