My take on U/B Control for modern. Debating if I want to keep all 8 discard spells in the main. Really good on the play but not so much on the draw. We really want to see 1-2 in our first turns. 8 copies gives us about a 64~% chance to get 1 in our first 7 cards. Maybe 1 Spell Snare might be better over a discard spell?

Deck doesn't really need Spreading Seas for Tron if you take away the opponent's threats with discard spells. Use Snapcaster Mage on discard in your grave and you should be good. We also have 3x Damping Sphere in the side which helps vs a variety of decks besides Tron like Ironworks and Storm.

Vendilion Clique is really good as you can shuffle dead discard spells later in the game away.

Liliana of the Veil is another good card, but a lot of the time you will find it really awkward to +1 her.

Maybe I'll make a sideboard guide if this gets any attention.
