EMPTYING HANDS WITH A BUDGET RESTRAINT

I'm new to MTG (I usually only play Casual with my friends) and am running a very tight budget (<$70). If you have any suggestions please let me know. If you like what you see then leave a +1 :D

Abyssal Nocturnus - Every time an opponent discards a card (which, with this deck, should be every round), Abyssal Nocturnus gains +2,+2 and Fear until end of turn. Combined with the Discard abilities of other creatures and sorceries (Hymn to Tourach and Cry of Contrition ), Abyssal Nocturnus will be BUFFED UP, basically unblockable (unless against Black or Artifact), and becomes your opponents' worst nightmare.

Hypnotic Specter - A staple of any Discard deck (espiecally for Black). Flying ensures consistent Discard ability activation. Hypnotic Specter + Dark Ritual on Turn 1 = What are friends.

Guul Draz Specter - Basically Hypnotic Specter but for more you gain the ability "Guul Draz Specter gets +3/+3 as long as an opponent has no cards in hand.".

Oona's Prowler - Oona's Prowler is a serious threat for . This encourages opponents to discard cards to reduce Oona's Prowler to a 1/1 (only until end of turn). If your opponents don't want to throw away their cards, they suffer the consequences (3/1 with Flying).

Silent Specter - Hypnotic Specter's big brother. It is a formiddible 4/4 with Flying and causes your opponents to discard 2 cards when they're dealt damage. Silent Specter packs a punch and is key during midgames and endsgames when every card discarded can be translated into damage through Liliana's Caress. The Morph ability is a bonus too.

Liliana's Caress - This card is the core of this deck. Every time an opponent discards a card, he/she loses 2 life? That's exactly what I'm looking for.

Quest for the Nihil Stone - For those pesky opponents that try to avoid Liliana's Caress by keeping their hand empty (thus avoiding any potential discards).

Cry of Contrition - One of the most undervalued discard spells. This is basically a Hymn to Tourach with a delayed effect that only costs .

Hymn to Tourach - Another Discard staple. Pure value.

Dark Ritual - A staple in any Black deck. Creates miracles when all hope is lost.

Cutting down on costly cards and shrinking this deck to 60 cards...Hope this doesn't detract from its effectiveness.

I'm trying to keep this under $60.
