A Liliana's Caress combined with a gripful of discard spells is explosive.

Essentially becomes a burn deck with Caress/Megrim out.

Step 1: Use scry lands + Dream Salvage (in combination with discard spells) + Quicken + Consult the Necrosages + Telling Time to draw until you have your three colors, a Liliana's Caress / Megrim and a Shrieking Affliction . Stall with any creature removal you'd like.

Step 2: Go crazy with discard spells. Burning Inquiry in combination with Dream Salvage is absolute destruction. Blightning is absolute destruction. Use Quicken + any discard spell to take out top-decks.

• Two copies of Sedraxis Specter used to be in the main deck. I took them out because I realized he might be a little winmore-y. You can only cast it after you have your three colors, and it's only particularly useful if you have a Caress and a Shrieking Affliction out; all three of these facts indicate that you're already well on the path to victory. So instead, I've added two more copies of Telling Time for the complete playset. Thoughts?

Loses badly to Lifegain. Side in Skullcrack or Tainted Remedy to have a shot.

Built on a budget.

Suggestions invited! Perhaps looking for a more efficient way to draw cards.
