You will scream out your innermost secrets just to make it stop.
Modern 8-Rack, based on Tom Ross' list (with a few changes): https://www.mtggoldfish.com/deck/762598#paper
Discard
The Rack and Shrieking Affliction as the namesakes of the deck - once their hand is low/empty, start eating away their life points.
Inquisition of Kozilek and Thoughtseize as the main discard spells, for taking away the most important threats.
Raven's Crime and Wrench Mind for getting the last few cards. Excess lands turn into Raven's Crime retraces later in games. Smallpox sets them back a land and has an edict effect, Blackmail for mopping up anything that's left.
Funeral Charm
for discard at instant speed during their upkeep for additional Rack/Affliction damage or draw step for keeping their hand empty. Can also pick off mana dorks.
Liliana of the Veil mainly for discard (also edict removal and usually a game-winning ultimate).
Removal/Misc
Fatal Push for creature removal.
Bloodchief's Thirst for creature/planeswalker removal.
Ensnaring Bridge stops aggro decks once our hand gets empty.
Lands
Mishra's Factory for pushing across the last points of damage in some games, chump blocking (as a 3/3 by itself).
Castle Locthwain for card draw.
Field of Ruin for nonbasic land hate.
Fetchlands only get Swamps, but they also enable Revolt on Fatal Push (also Urborg/Legend Rule).
Sideboard
Surgical Extraction for stripping all copies of discarded cards.
Collective Brutality for some mainboard lifegain against Burn, as well as extra removal and discard.
Bontu's Last Reckoning for a board wipe.
Leyline of the Void for graveyard hate.
Pithing Needle for shutting off activated abilities (and fetchlands).
Ratchet Bomb mainly for getting rid of pesky Leylines, but also works great as a token/dork board wipe.
Needs to be updated...
Maybeboard
Nether Spirit for a recurrable attacker/blocker.
Dismember for additional spot removal.
Davriel, Rogue Shadowmage for 2 more Rack effects, but also discard.
Damping Sphere as a budget 3-ball, works against Storm/Tron.
Nihil Spellbomb for graveyard hate.
Extirpate for graveyard/deck/hand removal.
Bile Blight for spot removal with a sort-of sweeper effect (mass removal against Arclight Phoenix).
Delirium Skeins for a larger catch-all discard spell (also for playing around Leylines).
Torment of Hailfire also works for getting around Leylines (or getting rid of them), but can also act like a bigger Smallpox.
Tormod's Crypt for additional graveyard hate that doesn't cost anything.
Amulet of Safekeeping for protection against Burn/targeted spells and Storm tokens.
