I have made a new casual discard deckdiscard.I think it works good against one player, but not that good when I play with many in one game.Comments on the deck will be appreciated.

I have spent alot of time working on a discard based combo-dismantling deck for Modern and Legacy since i found that the meta seems to lean on the side of 2-4 turn combo kills.
Legacy version Hand Obliterator LV
Modern version Hand Obliterator
The major help i can give is that a good discard deck does not need the following;
- Liliana's Caress /Megrim : you don't get these triggers as often as you think
- Words of Waste : the major goal of a discard deck is card advantage and this card ruins that
- Mind Sludge/Monomania/Painful Quandary/Subversion : Way to expensive for when they are to be optimally played
Stupor : i had this in my deck for a while and took it our for Wrench Mind or Hymn to Tourach (if you plan on going legacy with this deck) because it works better on turn two to shut down a deck quicker, and on turn 4 with another 2 drop to keep them shut down.
Ostracize : Since Inquisition of Kozilek is just out right better then this i would swap it.
Quest for the Nihil Stone : I had these in my deck for a while too but i took them out because i felt that The Rack + Nezumi Shortfang did the job just fine and in general i saw that the 5 damage trigger rarly went off.
Diabolic Tutor : doesn't seem needed really
Good cards to add:
Liliana of the Veil : this card is a dynamic powerhouse, yes she does drop your card advantage a bit , but she is worth it
Better removal ill let you decide
Sign in Blood : best card advantage card in black
Good luck dude if you have any questions feel free to ask

Things i would take out of your deck:
- Stupor : i had this in my deck for a while and took it our for Wrench Mind or Hymn to Tourach (if you plan on going legacy with this deck) because it works better on turn two to shut down a deck quicker, and on turn 4 with another 2 drop to keep them shut down.
