An excellent pitch to Liliana of the Veil if you have a nice little 1/1 to play. I consider this reasonable discard protection in a deck that supports it. Makes you wish Stoneforge Mystic were a 1/1!

Notable (and weird) combinations include Young Pyromancer, Akroan Crusader, Lingering Souls, Faithless Looting, Mother of Runes, Precinct Captain, Hero of Bladehold, Doomed Traveller, etc..
