Dealing with discard
Modern forum

I play a Naya Zoo deck that has no card draw spells. Therefore, I have a hard time against decks that make me discard frequently. The obvious solution to this problem would be: "add draw spells!" However, R/W/G mid-range does not have any good draw spells (as far as I know).
you could sideboard Leyline of Sanctity , True Believer or Aegis of the Gods against targeted discard, and Loxodon Smiter for non targeted discard like Liliana of the Veil

Leyline of Sanctity or if you're on a budget, Aegis of the Gods

On the same line as Loxodon Smiter , Obstinate Baloth .

What decks with the lots of discard are you playing against? If it's 8Rack, I'd suggest you run either Loxodon Smiter in Small Zoo or Obstinate Baloth if you're doing a more midrangey build, but never as a 2-of in your board. If you're running a Small Zoo build you're deck is generally good against discard, because most of the threats you play are cheap anyway, so usually you can get something to stick before their discard engine gets going full till, but if it gets problematic, Leyline of Sanctity also works well to nullify their discard spells. If you're main concern is Liliana of the Veil , Celestial Purge , Lightning Bolt and Boros Charm answers her well.

Leyline's 4cmc is a little too much (assuming I don't draw it in opening hand), but Aegis of the Gods is a nice sideboard idea. Celestial Purge is also a nice sideboard idea I never considered.
