Well, that’s how it goes; I’m basically standing still (partly because of the dominance of decks with roaches, but shadows aren’t the best matchup against dragons either). But I had the same situation with the Discard deck before, which made me stagnate in rank. But again, this happened shortly before the expansion.
Actually, I don’t think the deck is that well-built. But I’m too lazy to sit down and figure it out; I don’t play very often lately. I know that some of the cards aren’t that useful, but I just can’t bring myself to remove them. I’m open to suggestions for improvement.
You can also play Dragon Knights with Discard, but without Wyvern Cavaliers, you can’t play them in one turn.
But this is all if you want to play purely Discard as a win condition. You just have a deck with Discard elements. At a minimum, add Dragonmancers with Urielks, preferably three Scholars, discard the Dragon Consul and forget about it, and Ferver is better. Ethics is also garbage; it’s too weak of an impact for the Evolution cost, Dragon Warriors are vanilla, but more useful. And you don’t need the Pendant either. Oracles and Emissaries in Discard are a matter of taste, I guess; I personally don’t find them very useful, but it’s up to you. Trinis – I don’t know; I stopped playing them altogether, and I swapped the Mushis for Masamune, but that’s just a preference.
You can also play with Angel Crusher, as Ment said, but Dragonmancers at maximum are a must, obviously.
