This has been my evolving take on 8-Rack. Speed and low CMC is the key here, seeking to punish straight out the gates and not let up. Generally by turn 3 or 4 opponents start to consider if they should even be casting anything or playing lands to try and get around the whole Rack/Shrieking Affliction issue, but that's why I use Liliana's Caress. Liliana's Caress aims to capitalise the opponent damage from discards and then Waste Not gives some extra board presence as well as ramping our spell casting (namely discard effects).

A bit of a Rat archetype going on as well, Burglar (formerly Ravenous) helping further discards and Pack Rat capitalising on Rats being the only creatures in the main board.

Sideboard is really all about adaptive play as necessary. Either going for more board presence or adding in more removal/control options. The flex slots in the mainboard are Liliana of the Veil, both Liliana's Caress, Waste Not and up to two Swamps allowing for 6 sideboard changes without dramatically altering the deck's fast-paced capabilities.

Cosmetic upgrades to alot of main board cards; Blackmail now not a single lonely foil with full playset in foil, Raven's Crime also full playset of foil, Funeral Charm now full playset in foil thanks to The List release, both Extirpate now in foil and both Cry of Contrition now in foil.

Does not leave much left to cosmetic upgrade in the main board; Shrieking Affliction, Liliana's Caress & The Rack. I'm on the fence about these cards as their foil versions hold a hefty price tag but also it sits interesting that the main components of the deck are just standard versions. Shall see what the wallet decides later on, but am sure I'll upgrade at least some of these cards. Would be nice for a new release of The Rack at some stage to help reduce the cost of those in foil.
