Saved commander deck
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.
Prompt: 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.
