At the beginning of each opponent's upkeep, if that player has one or fewer cards in hand, they lose 2 life.

At the beginning of your draw step, draw an additional card for each opponent who has one or fewer cards in hand.

How well does Fear of Infinity work here? I see it as a self-recurring enchantment, but you're kind of relying on your opponent to get it into your graveyard. 2 damage + 2 life a turn isn't the worst option, but personally, I like to start shredding hands as soon as possible when running a discard deck. They're not enchantments, but something like Duress, Ego Drain, Intimidation Tactics, or maybe Lightstall Inquisitor would give a few more turn 1 options, and Bandit's Talent cares about emptying the opponent's hand more than actual discard, so exiling their hand works well with it. Sorcery- and instant-heavy spellslinger decks are popular right now, but build to your local meta.

Sweet deck! Bandit's Talent seems like a great inclusion.

Bandit's Talent is the newest payoff. Each level is great but you don't get resources till 3.

Asylum Visitor for tons of cards.

Sangromancer for stupid amounts of life.

Technically reanimate spells are also payoffs and even Bloodchief Ascension for incremental life gain.

RiotRunner789 I totally lost to Bandit's Talent in pre-release. That card did some work.

My favorite is Bandit's Talent. Not a ton of good discard cards come around that often. Though the strategy has seen more love since Tiny Bones.

Flavor wise though, Tempt with Bunnies is the best. Solid addition to the tempt series and who can say no to a bunny?

Some thoughts:

  • there is already an established archetype called “8rack” which I would suggest googling to get an idea of what the competitive decks in this vein are doing. In particular, some good example lists to use as inspiration are this and this

  • your current sideboard feels a lot like “cards you couldn’t fit in the mainboard”. I’d suggest gearing this towards actually fighting your problem matchups instead.

  • The new card from Bloomburrow, Bandit's Talent has been seemingly doing very well so far in 8rack testing by various youtubers, and it seems to be a better version of Shrieking Affliction in basically every conceivable metric. I’d suggest giving it a trt.
