Help me help Tibalt

I've been trying to hammer out a monored deck designed to benefit from discard effects, with the goal of making Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded something greater than utter garbage. I put the little devil dude in a deck with Chandra Ablaze and Pyromancer Ascension years ago, and, though I liked the idea of the 'walkers working together, the rest of the deck was trying to do something Tibalt didn't help with. In other words, I enjoyed the potential interaction among those three cards, but the deck in which I had them wasn't the right shell to abuse them. I ended up removing both planeswalkers from that particular deck, but the idea of building around Tibalt has jumbled around in my brain since. Upon seeing Jaya Ballard spoiled, I started revisiting the concept, and the new Izzet mechanic, jump-start, was the final inspiration to try, once again, to make Tibalt usable. This is what I have so far:
Tibalt seeks redemption

but there's still work to be done. I've got to find the right mix of recursion and actual spells, and there's still trimming to be done. This is my first time seeking advice from the tappedout community this early in the deck building process; thanks in advance for any advice and suggestions!
I've seen him used in Vintage before in Dack Fayden decks.

and yea like the other guy said, Fiery Temper, Risk Factor, Asylum Visitor and Lingering Souls might be a good place to start. Maybe get some Faithless Looting in there to be more like blue.

Big Game Hunter is an obscure option as well if you go the madness route. I'm using one on my sideboard right now because he's good against Gurmag Angler decks and good with Liliana of the Veil.

I have a Tibalt deck with Squee, Goblin Nabob and Sword of the Meek along with some that were mentioned.

Why not make a Madness deck? Cards like Fiery Temper and Alchemist's Greeting cost very little when discarded.
