Oskar, Rubbish Reclaimer

Oskar, Rubbish Reclaimer is all about turning your graveyard into a second hand. You want to fill your graveyard with a mix of cheap and expensive cards so Oskar costs less to cast, then use his discount ability to flashback spells and creatures that you've discarded. The core gameplan is to abuse discard effects—both yours and your opponents'—to stock the graveyard, then repeatedly cast spells from there without paying their full mana cost.

You'll lean into discard outlets like Faithless Looting, Obsessive Search, and Stitcher's Supplier to feed the graveyard while triggering Oskar's casting ability. Cards that benefit from going to the graveyard—like Murktide, Subtlety, and Ledger Shredder—multiply the value. You're essentially getting two or three uses from the same card, which generates tempo and card advantage without needing a traditional draw engine.

Wins come through a mix of combat damage from recurring threats and the tempo advantage of casting creatures and interaction from your graveyard repeatedly. The deck sits in a sweet midrange spot: you're not frantically combo-ing off, but you're outvaluing opponents by grindy, efficient play. It's a patient graveyard control deck that snowballs into an unbeatable value engine.
