Tinybones, Trinket Thief

Gameplan

Tinybones is a mono-black discard deck that strips every opponent's hand with mass discard, refills your own hand off Tinybones' draw trigger, and then closes the game by activating its ability for 10 damage per empty-handed opponent. You spend the early game on rocks and discard pieces, then dump opponents to zero cards and detonate.

Key Cards

• Liliana's Caress — Turns every opponent discard into direct damage, stacking with Tinybones to race the table.
• Bottomless Pit — Forces a discard every turn, reliably keeping hands empty and feeding the draw trigger.
• Megrim — Another Caress-style payoff that converts mass discard into a fast clock.
• Mind Twist — Empties a single opponent's hand in one shot, setting up the 10-life activation.
• Bloodchief Ascension — With empty hands and discard triggers, it quickly ramps life loss into a kill.
• Necropotence — Refuels your own hand so you can keep deploying threats without running dry.

Upgrade Path

Add fast mana (Dark Ritual, Jet Medallion, Mana Vault) and tutors (Demonic Tutor, Vampiric Tutor) to find your discard payoffs faster, and run Waste Not plus a wheel like Windfall or Wheel of Misfortune to convert mass discard into card advantage and damage. Include protection such as Lightning Greaves and recursion like Phyrexian Reclamation so the table can't simply remove Tinybones to disarm your win con.
