Looking for a discard from hand to gain benefit card.

I'm building a R/W control deck and i need to find a card that can turn my excess blood moons, chalice's and leylines into cards, damage or something..
At the moment i'm using Trading Post but i could use some input to what i could use instead. I would love a Seismic Assault like effect but cant really find an alternative.

Yes desolate lighthouse could work. Its such an effect i desire. But would conflict with my Blood Moon's..
A permanent solution is what would be best and not at 1cmc as that would conflict with my Chalice of the Void
Tormenting Voice might be easier to put in..
Thanks for your input:)

Sounds like you're playing a Blue Moon variant - well, White Moon I guess? What benefits do you see over Blue Moon? Do you have a list I could look at?
Often times having the extra Moon or Chalice is good in case it gets blown up. Running blue gives you access to more card draw, and then you'd notice the extras less but still have them when needed.

The benefit would be the hate white can bring. I havent written my list up here yet.But its based on the primer here:
http://www.mtgsalvation.com/forums/the-game/modern/deck-creation-modern/556716-r-w-lockdown-boros-bridge-rw-stax-landkill-and
Maindeck Ensnaring Bridges, Leyline of Sanctitys and Blood Moons. Ajani Vengeant for the finisher.
Its a bit of a pet project this deck. im playing a grixis tempo deck usually.
But this lockdown deck should work well against the new eldrazi decks. Have a good burn and tron matchup. The artifact hate in R/W should give a fair match against affinity aswell.

Hm, very interesting. Well, Blood Moon makes a third color splash very undesirable so I think Faithless Looting is among your best choices.

But that clashes with chalice at 1.. So many decisions:)

How bad is having the extra Chalice or Moon? Your opponent will often be trying to get rid of the Moon at the least, so it's not usually bad to have an extra. Maybe you just need more draw power?

Peace of Mind is an option, especially if your playing in an aggro/burn heavy meta.

Caes: nice find. Something like that i was looking for.
ducttapedeckbox: no extras can still be usefull if the were usefull to begin with. But sometimes i need to turn a completely unwanted bloodmoon into something else. And seing a third or fourth chalice kan be akward aswell

Loot effects are probably what you want. Faithless Looting is good, but really only best when there is something you really want in your graveyard. Tormenting Voice sounds better given what you're describing. If you add blue, you can play Desolate Lighthouse which is really exactly what you want. Loothouse is pretty much perfect for the task you want.
