Malfegor

Malfegor is a powerful symmetrical discard engine that forces opponents into tough choices. When he enters, you discard your hand and each opponent sacrifices creatures equal to the cards you ditched. The key is building around this: you want a hand full of cards when he lands, and you want those discarded cards to matter. Think of him as a repeatable board wipe that punishes opponents for having creatures while you benefit from the discard.

To make this work, load up on cards that reward you for discarding—think Hollow One, Ox of Agonas, Anje Falkenrath, and other madness/discard synergies. You can also abuse Malfegor's effect by cheating him into play multiple times via Sneak Attack, Aether Vial, or reanimation spells, turning him into a repeatable sacrifice engine. The deck plays like a midrange discard deck with a powerful board-wipe payoff, winning through commander damage once the board is clear and your synergies have generated value.
