subpar....not quite decent even if your meta consist of aggro and ...lots of aggro... (seeing from your inclusion of edict effects n bridges)

i felt relieved when i see unburden...but then i notice this is not what i think it is "This is not unmask!" stupor might be better since ppl cant misdirect it

guildfeeder
.......
nantuko shade might be better, a whole lot better n cheaper :/

and lastly, i think they change the flavoracle wording for Cabal Coffers...now it reads:

"If you don't play me with Urborg, no, not that one...then you're a n00b"

With one word: No.

Straight discard has never been competitive and you haven't made much of an attempt to rectify that. Discard as a strategy is best as disruption rather than focus, but yours is latter. You'd do the worst against aggro, but due to the slow clumsiness of your clock, combo will often just build up enough cards to win (when they're not busy winning before your discard goes off) and many control-decks run Life from the Loam, which trumps your entire strategy. The other half draws cards from turn 2 onwards, which is probably also something of a problem for you.
