With the wealth of good white/black spells available in modern, I was tossing around the idea of a building a deck based around simply blowing up hands.
The obvious goal is to just dump their hands into their graveyards and win through The Rack or Nezumi, or just by attacking with your little creatures.
The only problem is that I'm not sure it's enough. I know that, historically, one of the biggest problems with discard as a strategy is that its spells, late game, are not as good, so I've tried to fix that with the instant discard and creatures that can both attack and cause the other player to discard. I'm also a little leery about potentially being overwhelmed by creature hordes... but that's what the discard is for, right?
I have a natural affinity for the color combo and really want it to work. Thoughts?
smallpox and Shrieking Affliction look like they can be made use of here, also up the lilly count to 4 and should do alright, also been lookin into something like this

As of now, everything in here (except Liliana of the Veil) is 2 mana or less, which means we can use less lands. It also has instant-speed discard in the form of Nezumi Shortfang and Funeral Charm, which can be absurd on Isochron Scepter.
