Great question, seshiro_of_the_orochi! When I initially built this some 10 years ago Thoughtseize was indeed kept out due to it's price point. It was quite a staple at the time in Standard during Theros block too!
But the main reason it doesn't come in nowadays is the life point defecit for casting. With the speed of Modern and the very precarious position life can be in at the end of a game every 2 life points matter.
Inquisition of Kozilek and Extirpate both fill a similar outcome to Thoughtseize. If someone were looking to use it however I would say you could drop Cry of Contrition and a single Raven's Crime to put three of them into the deck :)

What's the intent of the first ability? I don't know Supernatural at all, so it might be a flavor thing I'm missing. It also feeds the token creation ability a bit too well, especially with the second ability.
The second ability should be worded as a replacement effect: "If Strong-Souled Loxodon would deal combat damage, you may have it fight target creature (you don't control?) instead."
The token creation ability is too much. Turn 1, target yourself with Funeral Charm or Cry of Contrition or Putrid Imp or Entomb or Tome Scour or Careful Study or Faithless Looting or Burning Inquiry... A turn 1 13/13 with no card disadvantage and minimal setup, available in multiple colors, would break the game. The last clause helps a little bit, but it's still overpowered--Death's Shadow with zero risk and reduced color requirement.
Overall, this card might be accurate to what Supernatural has, but in M:tG, it's just overpowered.

Waste Not Discard (Modern Black Budget Control)

I like this a lot. I play pioneer, so have made some adjustments to fit. I had a couple of questions... You mention Horrifying Revelation, Grasp of Darkness, and Cry of Contrition. Where would you slot these into the deck as they are not in the card list and what would you remove?

This deck is way better than mine, shame I didn't see it sooner. Especially Rotting Rats and Cry of Contrition are very nice, please excuse me while I steal those :)

I think you’re at the threshold of pushing what’s possible with the current list, and unless you’re willing to ditch the non-rack aspects (i.e. the Samurai stuff) there isn’t much else to recommend. If you want the samurai cards to remain for theme reasons that’s fine, but removing them opens up more options that lean heavily into capitalizing off discard/rack effects. The Rack, Cabal Therapy, Cry of Contrition etc. Mono Black excels in this area and many staples are inexpensive. But then you risk losing the identity of the deck you made, as it’ll veer ever closer to every other cooy&paste Rack deck out there. So there’s a battle between creativity and competition in which only you can decide the victor.

Nice Deck and i love this spooky Theme! :)
Maybe Iname, Death Aspect would be a good include.
I just drop a List of creepy Cards i found, maybe you can use some of them:
- Revenant
Thief of Hope not that scary, but would fit in with the spirit theme.
Some instants:
- Darkness
Some sorcerys:
- Extract

B/W Token Control

I like this list, but I feel like it should be more aggressively sideboarded - with traditionally sideboard plainswalkers mainboard, you've already freed up ~4 slots for those matchups, and control lists are already about reading the meta and packing answers.
In terms of budget discard, I've always leaned into 'going topdeck mode' with symetrical discard effects like Delirium Skeins , or just trying to reccur Raven's Crime (even without land recursion, it lets you trade otherwise dead land draws for a discard). Packing your sideboard with 15 duress variants will jank out wins. Cabal Therapist might be optimal here, but Cry of Contrition and Divest will do fine.
Right now I'd lean into more instant speed removal for all the lumimancer blitz and cut some more neiche answers, but it really depends on what you expect to face. Budget lists are all about reading the meta to see what drawbacks don't matter.

Discard Me, Daddy

On my quest to also build a tinybones deck, I found some of the cards below that have really been an asset to me. Maybe they could help you out too.
Instant Speed Discard Cards: _(Allows you to force them to discard on their turn, so you can get a draw trigger then too.)
- Necrogen Spellbomb , Funeral Charm , Black Cat / Mindslicer / Elvish Doomsayer like cards, that discourage people from attacking you while also possibly making them discard on their turn, Nezumi Shortfang Flip (also has a special second flipside ability), Torment of Scarabs (they have to really screw themselves over every turn unless they discard), Cry of Contrition (can be sort of like a bounty, taxing someone when the creature dies which can be on someone else's turn), Unmask , Greel, Mind Raker , Gibbering Descent
