Cait, Cage Brawler

Cait, Cage Brawler is a scrappy little fighter that rewards you for attacking and playing a resource-management game. Every swing forces both you and your opponent to draw and discard, then Cait grows if you discarded the highest-mana card. This creates a fun tension: you want to discard high-value stuff to pump Cait, but you also want to keep threats in hand. The deck leans into a Voltron-lite strategy where Cait becomes a legitimate threat through repeated attacks and counter growth, while also enabling graveyard synergies since you're discarding intentionally.

Your gameplan is straightforward: ramp into Cait early, attack relentlessly, and use the forced-discard trigger to fuel your own synergies. You'll want cards that benefit from discards (madness, delve, reanimation) and ways to protect or pump Cait so the damage clock accelerates. Since she has indestructible on your turn, she's hard to remove—your opponent has to race you or deal with her on their turn.

Wins come through commander damage once Cait gets large enough, or you can pivot to a secondary plan if Cait gets removed. The deck is interactive and fun at casual tables because the discard effect creates memorable moments and table conversation.
