Discard Destroy Deck Featuring Knull, Black Knight, Magik
EDIT: Zabu seems too good with the current list and other replacements, don’t use Armor
*Despite this being named after Knull, Blade & Venom is what makes this deck possible and Magik makes this deck really explosive.
Ideal Game Plan(s):
#1: Black Magik Knull Discard
- Turn 1: Black Knight
- Turn 2: Blade -> Discard Infinaut
- Turn 3: Magik
- Turn 4: Shuri
- Turn 5: Ebony Blade
- Turn 6: Knull
- Turn 7: Venom + Ghost Rider
#2: Knull Discard
- Turn 1-3: Discard -> Infinaut / Destroyer
- Turn 4: Ebony Blade / Ghost Rider
- Turn 5: Venom + Armor
- Turn 6: Knull
#3: Magik Shuri Destroyer
- Turn 3: Magic
- Turn 4: Shuri
- Turn 5: Nimrod
- Turn 6: Destroyer
- Turn 7: Knull
Replacement Suggestions:
#1: Zabu - Armor is used to protect Venom and is a fail-safe for not drawing Knull against Shang Chi or if you Ghost Rider -> Destroyer late game, but is kind of clunky. Swapping Armor for Zabu opens up more playlines on turns 4, 6, and 7. Honestly, Zabu makes this deck feel more cohesive by making it possible to combine both game plans.
- Turn 4 = 1 drop + a 3/4 drop
- Turn 6/7 = two 3/4 drops
New Zabu Playlines:
Destroyer Discard
- Turn 1: Black Knight
- Turn 2: Zabu
- Turn 3: Magik
- Turn 4: Blade -> Discard Destroyer + Shuri
- Turn 5: Nimrod
- Turn 6: Venom / Ebony Blade + Ghost Rider -> Destroyer
- Turn 7: Knull
Infinaut Discard
- Turn 1: Black Knight
- Turn 2: Zabu
- Turn 3: Magik
- Turn 4: Blade -> Discard Infinaut + Shuri
- Turn 5: Ebony Blade
- Turn 6: Venom + Ghost Rider -> Infinaut
- Turn 7: Knull
No Magik & Late Zabu
- Turn 1-4: Black Knight + Lady Sif -> Discard Infinaut
- Turn 5: Venom + Zabu
- Turn 6: Ebony Blade + Ghost Rider -> Infinaut
There are many more but that's too much to write.
#2: Ravonna Renslayer & Mystique (instead of Nimrod & Destroyer) - I’m getting really innovative now, Ravonna & Black Knight, 2 mid-tier cards in the same deck crazy right? Well due to Shuri’s nerf, with Zabu + Ravonna she is a 2-cost which means you can play her on turn 5 with a 3/4 drop. Ravonna will also make Lady Sif always hit Infinaut when they make Knull not update in hand, as he becomes a 5 cost. This also leads into the Mystique include, because with Knull at 5-cost, on turn 7 you can Knull + Mystique.
So here's the playline:
- Turn 2: Zabu
- Turn 3-4: Ravonna + Magik + Black Knight
- Turn 5: Lady Sif -> Discard Infinaut + Shuri
- Turn 6: Ebony Blade + Venom
- Turn 7: Knull + Mystique
