No Sire Of Insanity ? I know it affects you as well but you could combine that with something along the lines of Megrim or Liliana's Caress .

Dire Undercurrents could be useful as well

Nin, the Pain Artist for double the pain.

You say you aren't running a lot of discard, but just imagine if someone had a hand of 7 when you played a Wheel of Fortune while Nekusar and Liliana's Caress /Megrim /Bloodchief Ascension are out. That's a total of 21 points of damage. Crack Jace's Archivist and that's game. The hand churning spells are begging for discard punishment.

Further, to accelerate the hurt, you could add Phyrexian Tyranny and Psychosis Crawler . To slow the hurt, you could have Venser's Journal .

Hey, thanks for commenting on my deck. After a lot of thought, I understand the use of discarding pains, but again, they feel like overkill to me. The deck does really well with minimal pain, using control and lockout effects to win me the game. Pain can sometimes win, to be certain, but it's never a priority.

Not enough wheel effects. Wheel of Fortune and Barbed Shocker are good, but Fate Unraveler is a need. Oh, and Seizan, Perverter of Truth is good too. Burning Inquiry , Cerebral Vortex , and Liliana's Caress have also been good for me. To bad this is your last deck, it's sad to see that taken away from a magic player. Places to go and people to meet, huh?

Sorry about that double post, tapped out errors.

And discarding is NOT overkill, and neither is Forced Fruition , Megrim or those other things trust me. If you want competitive, you want that stuff.
