A deck that focuses on disrupting the opponent's hand size, such as a discard-heavy strategy, would benefit from using The Rack in Magic: the Gathering. While The Rack can be effective in punishing opponents with low hand sizes, there are better options like Shrieking Affliction which deals damage regardless of the opponent's choice.
