No Baseplate Blue (Playstyle)

No Baseplate Blue (commonly shortened to NBB) is a Blue playstyle (with one Red support card) that gets benefits from having no Blue cards in your Baseplate. These effects can allow for more Blue Stud generation, card draw, and more.
Pros
* Can run Thunder Bolt and Mackerel as the drawback is minimal.
* B0BBA is very good card draw.
* Cearnou gives Blue Studs, which can help you ramp very fast (though you will be limited to 5 Blue Studs per turn)
* Focusing on not discarding allows you to keep a fairly large hand.
* Playing with other colors allows you to discard Blue cards for Blue studs. A card that is good for this is Homemade_Meal.
Cons 
* Cards like Alpha Brick's Bestowment and Mass Epidemic can instantly end this playstyle.
* Runs out of steam if the Stud generation or cards run out.
* Extremely vulnerable to board wipes.
* Can't discard Blue cards without putting a different color card into your Baseplate first.
* You need a high amount of full colorless cost Blue cards at the beginning of the game to be able to cast the NBB cards.
The No Discard Related cards section below are cards related to being unable to discard cards. They work well with this playstyle, if you are running monoblue.
