Shrieking Affliction

Standard Discard Payoffs

New 17 Dec 2016 Asked by facesinthestorm-deactivated2018 34 Comments

How likely are we to see cards similar to The Rack or Shrieking Affliction printed in a standard environment? There doesn't seem to be much payoff for running discard effects anymore.


Discard has proven to be one of those things that a majority of layers dislike strongly enough that we moved away from easily enabling a whole deck dedicated to the theme.

Birthday Trivia

It is my birthday and I was wondering if I could get some trivia on my favorite modern deck's engine; The Rack and Shrieking Affliction : )


The Rack and its companion card Black Vise are two of the earliest cards to feature the Stuffy Doll, a stuffed doll that artist Richard Thomas often included in his art. I have a stuffed Stuffy Doll at my desk.Happy Birthday!
