Hello and happiest of days to each of you! Ever since Megrim was printed, the casual world loves them a discard themed brew! Today we are taking the time to look at my favorite Commanders for this archetype and then next week the support cards for it too.

Let's kick this thing off!

Honorable Mention

Hashaton, Scarab's Fist

Let's start with this two-drop blocking 1/3 size guy for Orzhov mana, and then when you discard that dork you can spend three mana one of which is Blue to make a tapped token copy of it at 4/4 size and a Zombie too. Great! I adore that with dorks that have cycling and he's Esper too, rare in this stuff.

Flubs, the Fool

This three-drop Temur dork with again a good blocking size of 0/5 is an Exploration for free drops of lands! Yay! Then this has landfall or when you cast any spell, not just instants and sorceries but all of them! You'll draw if you have no hand or discard if not. Since this gives you the ramp color of Green it is great to unlock all up and down the block.

Oskar, Rubbish Reclaimer

This fun Dimir leader costs five for a discard of nonlands to be cast from your graveyard. Note there are no breaks there like exiling them or anything else. Then he's cheaper to cast for each different mana value in your graveyard so he's all about that graveyard use and abuse.

Kefka, Court Mage // Kefka, Ruler of Ruin

I just wrote a deck around this Grixis leader you can find here - (https://www.coolstuffinc.com/a/abesargent-07152025-from-discard-to-card-draw-with-kefka-court-mage-in-commander)! This five-drop 4/5 transforming body has an attack trigger to make everyone discard - you too, but no worries since you'll draw equal to the number of card types discarded! Then flip him for 8 generic mana to have everyone else Innocent Blood and then he becomes the 5/7 flyer that when your foes lose life you draw...that many cards - amazing with the Megrims and such here. Nasty when leading a discard brew! Right?

#5. Aclazotz, Deepest Betrayal // Temple of the Dead

Hello Top 5 fans and everything here on up is just mono-Black in color identity. This five-drop Bat God with flying and lifelink and then an okay size at 4/4 like Serra Angel has an attack trigger to have everyone else discard and then you'll draw if not - so that's great to keep refilling your hand. Then when your foes discard lands you can make a 1/1 Bat dork with flying. Then when it dies, flip to the land and then you can flip back for three or just tap for mana if needed. Great stuff, amiright?

#4. The Raven Man

This fun on-curve 2/1 drop can tap for four at sorcery speed to make everyone else discard! Then at each end step you'll make a 1/1 Bird that flies but cannot block if anyone discarded - from you to your foes. Great! But I wish they'd block flyer to keep your stuff safe.

#3. Tinybones, Bauble Burglar

This also two-drop dork has a 1/3 size with the ability to tap for four to make everyone else discard at sorcery speed! Then when they do you can exile and then cast it with any mana, not just their color - great stuff for the winning! Cast their stuff.

#2. Tinybones, Trinket Thief

This also two-drop dork has a trigger at the beginning of each end step too to draw if some foe discarded and then lose a life too - then mana sink six to have everyone else with no hand get dropped to 10 life! That's brilliantly great fun for all since you draw and kill in one go!

#1. Tergrid, God of Fright

This broken five-drop lady on the Game Changers list has menace and then a discard and sac trigger for your foe when they do a permanent. If they do, you get it Zombified under your control! That's just nasty good, and she's obviously tops...but...don't run her ever. She's just stupidly good here. Run anything else.

There we go! What Commander do you lean on for discard? Any of these work for you? Just let me know!
