This is my version of 8-rack. Every single card is either a Swamp, a rack-effect or can force a discard.

I'm sticking to basic lands with no creatures, making my opponent's non-basic land hate and creature removal into dead cards. I think being able to play only basic lands is a huge advantage for a mono-coloured deck. I've stripped it back to 20 lands, as none of them will be doing anything other than producing mana, once they hit the table.

I think this build will slow games down, so I've dropped Thoughtsieze in favour of Blackmail, as Thoughtsieze is a terrible card, late game. It just seems to cost 2 life to look at the land card my opponent is holding on to.

Liliana's Triumph is marginal, but I'm hoping it will lead to some instant speed discard, along with Funeral Charm.

I'm not at all settled on the sideboard. I haven't played a competitive game of Magic since Urza block, so haven't really bothered with sideboards in the last 20 years..

Any constructive criticism would be much appreciated.
