As always feedback is encouraged! If making a card suggestion please include what to take out and why.

Make your opponent discard out, then punish them mercilessly for not having a hand!

Funeral Charm- The only instant speed discard for Modern. Helps clean up after the opponent's upkeep.

Inquisition of Kozilek- Best early game, this hits indiscriminately with a limited CMC range, low cost compensates for lack of targeting ability.

Raven's Crime- You don't get to choose the discard, but it doesn't matter. Retrace makes this a mock 8x of.

Smallpox- Removal, land hate, archetype.

Thoughtseize- Indescriminate. Only downside is that you'll be losing 1 life.

Wrench Mind- Great for cleaning up the opponent's hand T3 after casting Quest for the Nihil Stone.

The deck centers around 4 win-mechanic cards:

Liliana's Caress- testing this card out in the deck to see if I can speed up the lifeloss a little bit before I actually get them hellbent.

Shrieking Affliction- The main lifeloss through discarding in the deck.

Quest for the Nihil Stone- While you're forcing your opponent to discard, set up your damage for when you're out of discard cards. This is a fast heavy-hitter for this deck; it can get 2 counters real quick with Raven's Crime + land in hand, or the old-fashioned Wrench Mind.

The Rack- Eventually your opponent's hand will become empty through a combination of discard actions, or from them playing spells to get a boardstate before you render them hellbent. If the opponent has <3 cards in hand, this begins to do some quickly compiling damage.

While running your main strategy this utility card will come in handy:

Waste Not- Benefits from your opponent discarding a: - Creature: Gives you a 2/2 Zombie chump blocker; or if appropriate, an aggressor if the opponent has no boardstate.
- Land: Adds to your mana pool, great for fueling more discard spells.
- Noncreature/Nonland: Additional draw without consequences is always good.
