Creatureless Discard Deck (Blue/Black)
This deck doesn't contain a single creature. Here's why it works: There are spells that force an opponent to discard, and also damages that opponent if he has a low number of cards. It contains several powerful damage-causing spells, as well as creature-stealing spells. So while you damage your opponent by keeping his cards low and zapping him with spells, you steal his creatures and kill him with them. People hate me when I use this deck because it's so different.
