I have been experimenting on the Discard Lock deck.
The deck it’s fun but at the moment it lacks card draw and enough synergy with the whole discard concept.
Maybe Malchezaar's Imp will solve the card draw problem but the main problem is getting too much cards that have discard without discard bonuses in your hand.
When we received the silverware golem I started running zoo with those, 2 soulfires and 2 doomguards. It works, but there were still too many occasions where I couldn't discard them, or worse ended up discarding another soulfire or doomguard.
Adding the imps in will make this work more smoothly, but I would not try to go one step further and add succubus or librarian. I think that would cause the same situation I described above.
i don't like how you can't pick what card to discard, i wish it was that way or at least give at least 10 to 20% preference to discard Silverware Golem and Fist of Jaraxxus, then I think it would be more viable. I usually discard PO, Doomguard, or Soulfire, Forbidden Ritual, cards that you play more situationally, which sucks because you want those cards to finish games or come back from behind

Any suggestions?
I too feel like, there is not enough cards that do something when discarded. Maybe next expansion? Need more cards like Silverware golem.
Maybe even [card]Yogg-Saron, Hope's End[/card]

The Discard mechanic is very poor compared with the Combo or Overload mechanics. :S
it just needs a 4 mana 7/7 and it'll be tier 1 overnight. Kappa
