Black-Rack (Modern MTG Deck)

This is my attempt at a modern 8-rack boasting one of my new favorites; Waste Not. I know Waste Not is causing people to try this archetype a lot more now in modern, and I'm no exception. The win conditions, of course, are The Rack & Shrieking Affliction (that's why they call it 8-rack genius!)

I'm enjoying the process of balancing this deck with the right cards, but I find a lot of people have interesting ideas that work for this archtype. So I'd love some suggestions to help me think it all through. Thanks in advance!

So, you may notice that my 8-rack uses Funeral Charm. I know most people who run the format don't use the card, but in my playgroup it has more uses. For one, there is a surprising lack of RDW in my playgoup (why I don't waste slots in my SB with Leyline of the Void) and quite a bit of Affinity, Zombies/Vampires, and Dredge... Because of this, I'm finding that Funeral Charm has a lot more utility. I'm able to knock off most aggro creatures with the Funeral Charm's +2/-1 option. Waste Not zombies help with aggro too.

Plus, I love the option of an instant speed discard spell, to get them to discard the card they draw at the end of their draw step, preventing them from playing the card most of the time.

The other option i'm considering is Murderous Cut when it becomes available. It may be worth mainboarding, since I dump my hand into my graveyard with low-cost sorceries pretty quickly. But definitely a low count of them will be all that is required. Dredge cards may be useful as well to fuel it. Anyway those are my thoughts at the moment.
