What format?

{Liliana's Caress} is fun. If you have blue in there, {Jace's Archivist} works wonders with it.

Make sure all of your discard gives you something too, because once your opponent's hand is empty, all those cards like {mind rot} turn into useless, dead draws for you. There are lots of rats that cause discard, they at least give you a small critter.

And the new Rakdos "Each opponent discards 2 at random" spell is evil in multiplayer. Forget the name. But I love it. Random discard is huge.

{Megrim} and {Lillian's caress} and {burning inquiry} was mean.

It should be noted that affliction does not let you cast lord of riots, since it happens on your opp.s turn.

{hymn to tourach} and {wheel of fortune} are just evil when you combine it with {the rack}, {rackling}, {lilianas caress}, {bloodchief ascension}, and so on.

Sorry I guess I should have mentioned that it will be standard format once return to ravnica is in rotation....I have been trying to use nivmagus elemental for when I have the useless discard cards late game the deck works fine until I run out of a hand then I have almost no killing blow
