Magic The Gather Card

One popular strategy for Magic the Gathering players involves removing the opponents cards from their hand. The idea is to deny the opponent he or she needs to win the game. Two colors will dominate discard decks, black and blue. Magic decks that use this color combination of black and blue are often referred to by players as bruise decks. A mono black Magic discard deck is possible, but the single color discard deck will suffer from a significant, namely a way of returning the cards the Magic discard deck player's opponent put into play into their hand and back into their graveyard.

Once a Magic the Gathering player has decided to build a discard deck as his deck theme, getting the appropriate cards together will be first step in deck construction. The two card types that should comprise the deck are discard cards which are black in color and bounce cards which are blue.
