This will most likely be my first competitive deck and I am trying to do my best to get most of it right before it is finally in my hands. Any suggestions?

Also, the Maybeboard is suggestions for my sideboard. Those cards are not in the sideboard slot since they'll definitely change immensely by the time I buy the main deck. Plus I want pricing to reflect the mainboard only.

UPDATE: I know thoughtseize and IOK are standard discard spells, but I believe other decks (Jund, Abzan, etc) utilize those cards better in the main board. For that reason, I'm trying hard to choose cards that'll put me ahead while accomplishing the same feat.
