This is the "Disgard" deck that I'm currently designing. I haven't play tested it fully, but it focuses on combining discard effects from different abilities.

Buddy: Fire Giant, Surtr / Ice Blade, Joker / Dekalfar Demon Swordsman, Heim

Monsters
 * 4x Fire Giant, Surtr
 * 3x Shadow Soldiers of the King of Gods, Wotanshadow
 * 2x Corpse Swallower, Hraesvelgr
 * 2x Ice Emperor, Thrudgelmir
 * 4x Dekalfar Demon Swordsman, Heim
 * 2x Frost Giant, Hrimthurs
 * 4x Valkyrie, All-knowing Alwidol
 * 4x Ice Blade, Joker

If we get Perseus, the ice elementals can go in exchange for him. That way we can discard and get rid of 1 of our opponent's gauge. CONTROL THE GAUGE, CONTROL THE GAME!

Spells
 * 4x Holy Grail
 * 4x Oswira Gard
 * 3x Breathen Gard
 * 3x Symbel Gard
 * 3x Berserk Gard
 * 2x Thurisaz Gard

These choices pretty much speak for themselves. Oswira Gard is an amazing defensive card because it counters spetral strike and penetrate. Breathen Gard, Symbel Gard, and Berserk Gard all feed each other. Thurisaz Gard helps get more damage through but has more synergy with Gleipnir/Fenrir.

Impacts
 * 2x Great Spell Finisher, Colossal Flame Sword Laevatein!

Utility Impact.

Items
 * 4x Rune Staff

This helps build the gauge. You'll want to cycle the Gards, and 3 monsters require gauge. The engine relies more on discard than Guage, but still needs gauge. This is also the reason Wotanshadow is sitll in the deck.
