This deck is built around the Rakdos Pauper Commander, Green Goblin, Revenant. The core strategy is to maximize the value from its attack trigger, which allows you to draw a card for each card you've discarded in a turn. To achieve this, the deck focuses on generating numerous discard outlets, with a strong emphasis on creating and stockpiling Blood Tokens from various cheap creatures. By activating multiple tokens or using cycling effects right before combat, the pilot can discard several cards, turning the Green Goblin's attack into a massive card-drawing engine that quickly filters through the library and refills the hand.
The value from discarding is realized through a suite of cards with Madness and Cycling. Madness allows the deck to cast powerful removal spells like Dark Withering or threats like Reckless Wurm for a significantly reduced cost, often turning a discard into a high-tempo play. Key creatures like Hell Mongrel serve as both a repeatable discard outlet and a growing threat. To support the five-mana commander, the deck runs a package of mana rocks and treasure generators, ensuring Green Goblin can be deployed early and recast if necessary, allowing the deck to consistently execute its game plan of turning discards into overwhelming card advantage.
