Modern remake of liliana-just-wants-a-hug-discard-burn.

One of my first MTG decks was a mono-black Megrim deck with Hypnotic Specter, Hymn to Tourach and friends. Years later, I see the above deck and notice that Liliana's Caress exists, making a discard-burn deck viable again! Seeing as I play Modern, I made some modifications to the deck.

Anyway, the mechanics and synergies in this deck (many taken from the Vintage version) are:

Discard: Despise, Inquisition of Kozilek, Duress. Liliana of the Veil, Rotting Rats, Jace's Archivist, Nezumi Shortfang , Wistful Thinking .

Draw: Jace Beleren, Jace's Archivist.

Control: Cyclonic Rift, Remand, Despise, Inquisition of Kozilek, Duress.

Suggestions welcome. Right now the thing I'm trying to improve most is consistency. Speed is not a big issue if I can keep the opponent from achieving their dreams.

From my playtests I've concluded that the Bloodchief Ascension + Mindcrank combo, while awesome, is prohibitively hard to consistently pull off. Took it out in favor of some control.
