{"ops":[{"insert":"Tourach is a mono-black discard-control deck that converts opponents' disappearing hands into a lethal commander while exploiting the creatures and resources those opponents discard. The deck prioritizes multiplayer discard over weak one-for-one effects: Unnerve, Syphon Mind, Bottomless Pit, Necrogoyf, Liliana of the Veil, Pox, Oppression and Mindslicer can each generate several +1/+1 counters for Tourach.\nEarly turns should establish mana and persistent engines. Sol Ring, the mana rocks, Jet Medallion and Peat Bog accelerate into Tourach and the four-mana discard engines, while Necropotence, Phyrexian Arena and Graveborn Muse ensure that symmetrical discard hurts opponents more than you. Tourach is cheap enough that casting him for two mana is often correct, but kicking him is preferable when random discard can cripple an important opponent.\nOnce Tourach becomes large, Dauthi Embrace is the cleanest finisher: shadow makes commander damage extremely difficult to block. Unspeakable Symbol can unexpectedly add several counters before combat, while Yawgmoth can proliferate counters and convert expendable creatures into cards and removal.\nThe graveyard is the second resource axis. Animate Dead, Necromancy, Reanimate, Victimize, Phyrexian Delver and Chainer can recover your own threats or steal creatures that opponents discarded. Dauthi Voidwalker changes this plan by exiling opposing cards instead; deploy it when denying graveyard access is more important than reanimating their creatures. Voidwalker followed by Ill-Gotten Gains is particularly brutal.\nMindslicer is best sacrificed deliberately through Yawgmoth, Phyrexian Plaguelord or High Market. A full-hand discard can make Tourach immediately lethal while your draw engines rebuild afterward.\nCabal Coffers, Deserted Temple and Caged Sun supply the late-game mana for Chainer and repeated card advantage. Against creature-heavy boards, Mutilate, Pestilence, Nevinyrral's Disk, Oblivion Stone and Living Death provide reset buttons. Preserve Dauthi Embrace whenever possible: a 15/14 Tourach that can actually connect is far more useful than a 30/29 Tourach staring at a disposable blocker.\n"}]}
