Thoughts:Slaughter Packt - Smallpox?
Basic idea is to keep you and your opponent in topdeck-mode and burn him with 'The Rack' and 'Shrieking Affliction' while 'Ensnaring Bridge' keeps you safe from attacking creatures. Bitterblossom provides some pressure and blockers if needed. Turn 1: Land + Inquisition / Thoughtseize (discard early threads)Turn 2: Land + (any discard)/ BitterblossomTurn 3: Land + Ensnaring Bridge / Bitterblossom / Rack | Affliction / (any discard)...from here on just watch out for artifact removal, keep the bridge alive, burn them really hard with the Rack and Affliction and watch your opponent desperatly trying to turn the tides : )

Oh, 8-Rack, my love, it's been too long. I looooove this style of deck, it's actually very similar to my modern deck (list is on this site, check out my "8-Rack Proactive Build"). Regardless, this is for your deck, so I shall assist in any way I can.First off, might I suggest The Rack. It's a more consistent, albeit less powerful at times Shrieking Affliction, very lovely card. Amazing synergy with the deck, the reason the archetype is called "8-Rack" is because you get to run 4x Shrieking Affliction and 4x The Rack. I would be bold as to suggest limiting your mainboard Hero's Downfalls and Smallpoxs for them, simply because if your resorting to removal against decks like Splinter Twin or Melira Pod, you've already lost, haha.Secondly, might I be as bold as suggesting the removal of the Obliterators? I'm a fan, but a four drop can be a problem in a deck where you want to get to top deck to trigger Ensnaring Bridge. Good replacements would be Mind Wrenches/Raven's Crime, which in modern are pretty much Mind Rots and weak Thoughtseizes respectively. Mind Wrench in particular is deadly efficient.And finally, for your sideboard, might I suggest Surgical Extraction, which is a free Extripiate at times and pretty much deals with storm nicely because you can tap out for it. Plus, you can turn one Inquisition, see more than one of a card in their hand, choose it, and follow up with a surgical to eliminate their playset. It's lovely.That's all I got for you, hope my ideas are helpful. Have fun with this deck, your opponents won't. :P

Hey there, first of all thanks for your comment. : -)Running 4x Shrieking Affliction and 4x The Rack sounds fun and should match the deck quiet well. But cutting Hero's Downfall and some Smallpox leaves we with almost no creature removal, but i'll give it a try as ensnaring bridge should do the trick.Removing the Obliberators really hurts :'( but i guess youre right and Ensnaring Bridge will make them almost useless anyway. So i'll go and remove them for 3 Mind Wrenchs.Removing Extirpate for Surgical Extraction seems fair. As turn 1 combo with Inquisition is genius.Thanks for your advice, i'll check your deck out in the next few days. : -)
Glad I could help, hope it works well for you!
I could need some advice with Bloodchief Ascension. Should I put it in or not? If yes, what could I remove without destroying this already fragile deck. Should I rework it completely? I really like the idea of no creature decks.Advice is really appreciated! : -)
Okay. Advice. I can do that. Ensnaring Bridge. For it to be most effective, you want to have no cards in your hand. Right? But you also want your opponent to have no cards in his hand either (because that means you have been doing a good job at making him discard!). So, how do you do this? How do you make both your hand and your opponent's hand empty? You use global discard spells. Discard spells that make both you and your opponent's discard cards. In comes Delirium Skeins and Chain of Smog. Delirium Skeins is going to make you and your opponent discard 3 cards! Talk about emptying your hand quickly and making sure Ensnaring Bridge is at full power!Chain of Smog will make the opponent discard 2 cards, plus it allows your opponent to make you discard 2 cards afterwords, and then allows you to make your opponent discard 2 more cards. If your opponent is dumb, he will keep bouncing Chain of Smog back and forth and both of you will be out of cards and he will not be able to attack because of Ensnaring Bridge!I think it is better than your super slow Temple Bell/Necrogen Mists combo! Unless I am missing something, and i am stupid at times, that is like 6 mana to make your opponent discard 1 card every turn. If you are going to rework it...may I try to turn you over to the dark side?There are people who run The Rack/Affliction.Then there are the people who run Quest for the Nihil Stone. I think it is faster, to the point, and more abrasive compared to The Rack/Affliction. Also consider Mutilate over Hero's Downfall.
http://www.mtgvault.com/jessie/decks/pure-true-discard/My discard deck I just posted to the unloved deck.Apparently your deck is more loved.But check out mine anyways, read the description. Run a few Sample draws. It does work.I know because I kept getting my butt handed to me by a very similar deck. If you get Nihil Stone out very early, and cast Ensnaring Bridge...if your opponent does not have any answers, then it is over very quickly. Good luck with your deck!It looks like it has a lot of potential.
I would definitely suggest adding skullcage. It deals 3 damage to that player unless they have exactly three cards in their hand.
Ich hab gerade ein bisschen an meiner Version vom 8Rack gebaut. Eventuell sind da ja noch 2-3 Dinge die du dir mal ansehen willst.http://www.mtgvault.com/fire181/decks/8rack-2/
