One Way Ticket! ONE WAY TICKET! ONE WAY TICKET!

This is my paper Rack deck, named after both it's blue sleeves AND the fact once the game gets going it's almost impossible to stop the progress because of the ongoing discard effects, so it's like the song One Way Ticket, you play against this and you're on a one way trip to the Heartbreak Hotel! It's easily the least fun to play against Legacy deck I know of, it is very good at making very good decks play very badly because it is so aggressively anti-creature. Does it need Thoughtseize? Yes, but not very badly as long as everyone else is playing FoW and/or Thoughtseize (and is down creatures to do so), so that nobody else can afford to go greedy! It's effectively 11 racks with ~16 ways to hassle creature decks, and 9 ways that can repeatedly force opponents to discard on top of Hymns. The key stone is My Baby, and it's much easier to win when you've got her out, repeating her Edict is quite backbreaking when the opponent also can't store cards in hand, and if the opponent can't store cards the Racks do their dirty work! The deck is largely creatureless, but since I only mainboard x2 Ensnaring Bridge I often end up using my creature lands for chip damage. With Bridge out a lot of decks can no longer win, at which point it's a matter of setting up enough ongoing discard. The deck tends to win surprisingly early on good hands, with the 'best' hands featuring 2 or 3 Racks and at least a Hymn.

I have considered some Urza's Saga, these can find a Rack, not bad for a land slot! I could even toss in a Mox Opal or something else useful (perhaps a Pithing Needle, maybe a few other relevant cards?). The thing is, if I put even more non-Swamp lands in I REALLY need Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth. Testing hasn't actually been clear that Sagas actually help the deck that much, but my (probably wrong) instincts really think Saga would help, especially vs decks where I need Pithing Needle or Relic main. FWIW if I pull all my 'lose life' Racks my deck is technically softer vs decks that are immune to damage?
