Malfegor
Force all players to discard their hands to maximize Malfegor's board wipe potential, then finish opponents with cards that punish empty hands and small hand sizes.
Asked for“I want to make a Malfegor deck that focus on hellbent everyone at the table, then winning with a mix of burn and combat. I want the burn to be in the form of discard punisher of hand size punisher.”
Deck anatomy
What this list actually runs on: how cheaply it casts things, and whether it has enough ramp, card draw and interaction to keep up at the table. Each block is one card — hover for its name.

The working parts
Counted from Scryfall’s community card tags, not from the builder’s own labels. A card that does two jobs counts twice, so these add up to more than the deck. The hatched band is a common rule of thumb, not a law — combo decks run leaner, battlecruiser decks heavier.
