Hello TappedOut! So I've finally decided to dive into Modern. Not sure how viable my deck idea is, but I want to somehow use cards like Bloodghast , Demigod of Revenge , Vengevine , Damnation , with some sort of global discard like Smallpox . The plan is to disrupt the opponent's resources in the early turns, reset the board in the mid-game, then bring back my dead creatures for the win.
Is it possible to make a deck like this competitive at least for Modern FNM? I just want to know before I start buying a buttload of cards. Also, any card suggestions and deck ideas would surely help a brother out. I'm looking for things that make all players discard stuff. Thanks.
Liliana of the Veil would be superb for that kind of deck.

Mono black discards sometimes actually place highly in competitive modern tournaments. They practice early game denial.

Dredgevine is a Modern deck that gets to play both Vengevine and Bloodghast , which are both extremely powerful cards. Here are some decklists to sample, though they are by no means definitive:

So these are some more cards I'm looking at: The Rack , Liliana's Caress , Burning Inquiry , Nyxathid , Blightning , Sangromancer Avatar of Discord , Terminate and Killing Wave . Since I'll have Bloodghast s, Demigod of Revenge and Vengevine , I have stuff that I don't mind discarding or sacing.
Also thinking of Life from the Loam to get my lands back from Smallpox and the splash of green will let me put the two Verdant Catacombs I own to good use and I'll have access to Abrupt Decay .
My brain's taking it into too many different directions and I feel like I need some outside perspective to give me some focus.

I made a modern mono black deck and I must say, those cards don't really work in modern except Bloodghast as far as I know, they are too slow. Damnation is a great card as well, but very expensive atm.
Check out my modern mono black deck below.
Sidenote: I did splash green for some removal.
