Outsmart, outplay, outlast — Emerald style.

Sure, you could build a deck to discard your own cards, but honestly, making your opponent discard is far more fun. In this list, we’ve rounded up some cards that will make building your discard deck a breeze—because why not shake up your opponent’s plans while having a blast?

10 Daisy Duck (Secret Agent)

Tiny Wings, Mighty Discard Power!

Not every character card needs to be complicated — especially when you’re building a discard-themed deck. Sometimes, all you really want is to toss a whole bunch of cards straight from your opponent’s hand into the discard pile. Luckily, there are plenty of cards that can help with that, and Daisy Duck is one of them.

Every time Daisy quests, each of your opponents has to discard a card. It's a win-win: you mess up their plans and trigger all your cards that combo off discards. Sure, Daisy might not be doing a million things at once, but don’t let that fool you — she’s a tiny, feathery engine of pure, delightful disruption.

9 Belle (Hidden Archer)

Where Hands Go To Die.

Belle is exactly the kind of card you want in a discard-themed deck. What makes Belle shine is her brilliant effect: whenever an opponent’s character challenges her, they have to discard their entire hand. Brutal, right? This alone will make your opponent think twice before even looking at her funny. Plus, thanks to her Shift keyword, getting Belle onto the board early isn’t too hard.

Not only does she protect herself through sheer intimidation, but she also packs a solid three lore value to help you race toward victory. All these factors combined make Belle an absolute gem for any discard-loving player — and a royal pain for everyone else.

8 Sign The Scroll

Sign It Or Lose It!

Discard-focused decks usually feel right at home with Emerald cards, since they’re all about tossing your opponent’s cards into the discard pile — or sometimes just rudely shoving them back into their hand. But don’t count Amber out! Some Amber cards actually vibe with your own discard pile, giving you some serious combo potential.

Mixing Emerald and Amber can lead to a pretty nasty deck. That’s where Sign The Scroll comes in: it’s an action card that forces your opponents to discard a card, and if they can’t, you get two free lore. Either way, you win! It’s a fantastic value card and a natural fit for any discard-fueled strategy.

7 Kuzco (Panicked Llama)

Kuzco Rules — And Ruins — Everything!

Kuzco might just be the wildcard your discard deck needs — emphasis on wild. This royal llama doesn’t just mess with your opponent; he affects everyone, including you! At the start of your turn, you choose: either everyone draws a card or everyone discards a card. Drawing isn’t too scary when you’re ready to rip those new cards right out of your opponent’s hand anyway.

And if your deck thrives off your own discard pile, forcing everyone to discard is just pure value. Plus, Kuzco doesn’t even need to exert to trigger his effect, and with Evasive, he’s a slippery little menace your opponents will struggle to pin down. All hail the chaos llama!

6 Shere Khan (Infamous Tiger)

Who Needs A Hand When You’ve Got A Tiger?

Shere Khan is an absolute stat monster — incredibly efficient for his cost and packing a whopping four lore value. But there's a catch: when you play him, you have to discard your entire hand. Ouch. Luckily, if your deck is built to handle it (and maybe you’ve got cards like Kronk, Laid Back), this "tiny" downside won’t even make you flinch.

Instead, you’ll be flexing with a giant tiger on your side and racing toward victory on the back of his juicy lore count. In the right deck, Shere Khan isn’t a problem — he’s the fast track to winning, claws and all.

5 Kronk (Laid Back)

Stay Relaxed, Kronk’s Got Your Back.

Kronk is a card that really depends on your deck's synergies. If you've got cards like Shere Khan or Kuzco that force you to discard both your and your opponent’s cards, Kronk is a must-have. With him, you can enjoy the benefits of those discard effects without any of the downsides. Essentially, he lets you bypass the negative effects and only reap the rewards.

Plus, Kronk has the Ward keyword, making him a tough cookie for your opponent to remove from the board. As long as you don’t exert him, you’ll feel as chill as his illustrated self — no worries at all!

4 Flynn Rider (His Own Biggest Fan)

Discard The Cards, Gain The Lore!

In a discard-themed deck, it's not enough to just send your opponent's cards to the discard pile — you need to benefit from it too. That's where Flynn Rider comes in. Thanks to your discard deck, your opponent likely won't have many cards left — and since Flynn loses lore equal to the number of cards in their hand, he'll keep most of his value intact.

But what if your opponent has no cards? Well, in that case, you get to enjoy Flynn’s full four-lore value! Plus, thanks to his Shift ability, you can bring him onto the field early, and his Evasive keyword means your opponent will need another Evasive character to deal with him.

3 We Don't Talk About Bruno

Turn Their Strong Cards Into Junk!

Of course, character cards alone won’t cut it in a discard deck—you need action cards to back it up too. This song card is practically made for a discard deck. It sends one of your opponent’s characters back to their hand, and then they must discard a random card from their hand. What makes this card amazing is that, in a discard deck, your opponent probably has no cards left.

By sending one of their cards back, you force them to discard the only one left, which is guaranteed to be their strongest or most valuable card. With this action, you’ll be tossing their best cards straight to the discard pile!

2 Cursed Melfolk (Ursula’s Handiwork)

No Strength, No Problem

Not every card in your deck needs to be expensive. By optimizing your costs, it’s important to include some budget-friendly cards, and Cursed Melfolk is exactly what you’re looking for. With only a cost of one, this card has no strength and a willpower value of one. But its stats aren’t the main attraction. Its lore value of two means your goal with this card is simple: quest.

What makes it even better is its effect: when challenged, your opponent must discard a card from their hand. It's a perfect fit for your discard-themed deck—cheap, effective, and disruptive!

1 Prince John (Greediest Of All)

Greedy For Cards? Prince John’s Got You Covered!

Prince John is a star in your discard-themed deck, turning your opponent’s discard into a major advantage. While his stats may not be perfect, you won’t want to risk him in a challenge or quest. When Prince John is on the field, you get to draw a card for every one your opponent discards.

This weakens their card economy while making you as greedy as Prince John himself! Plus, with Ward, he can’t be challenged, so he’ll keep his amazing effect going strong. It's like he's stealing the spotlight — and gaining cards — without even breaking a sweat!
