Malfegor
Force all players to discard their hands and punish them for being empty-handed using continuous damage effects and discard triggers.
Asked for“I want to build a Malfegor deck that can hellbent everyone at the table. I want the deck win with burn damage from either discard punish or empty hand punish. The deck has a limit of 3 game changer.”
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.
