Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
I've decided that its better to have all the
discard in creature form since late game discard spells are essentially
useless.
I've upped the Jitte count to 4 since you really need it to turn the
mediocre rats into beatsticks(and of course you can trade jitte for
jitte).
I've added cruel edict since its a cheap form of removal and with heavy
discard the opponent hopefully won't have many creatures(plus it kills
kodama of the north tree which is a real bitch if it gets into play).
The sideboards still a work in progress but its basically Grasp's vrs
artifact/enchantment decks, Graverobber's vrs dredge and other recursion
decks, Pontiff's against weenie decks and Extraction's against control
decks.
The deck seems to be working pretty well in its current form,
rats/grotesque/hyppie/shortfang provide early game disruption, Bob
provides a solid draw engine, edict/gasp/mortify kill any opposing
creatures and then the deck finishes of either through Ghost Council,
Jitte equiped beatdown or Stabwhisker damage(flipped shortfang). Running
only 21 land doesn't seem to be a problem since only 15 cards cost more
than 2 mana and only the 3 Ghost Council's cost more than 3 mana, plus
Bob helps you draw into the mana you need.
