was considering building one. running Shrieking Affliction as a lifedrain. Soul Ransom to gain cards and make em discard or keep their creature.
top of the curve with Sire Of Insanity . Soul Ransom would be a permanent steal. Codex Shredder for mill and return of Soul Ransom or other removal of sorts.
this would be the general concept of the deck but as such i have no idea where to start but if i can make it viable i would give it a go for FNM.
i know it would most likely be slow but all i hear things will get slower after rotating so thought it might be worth a try. atleast by that time.

I'm working on a Rakdos version of this for my FNM. It's more control based but I think it'll be fun, and will almost certainly blow up almost any control deck I face. USA control is by far the most popular deck at my LGS so I'm hoping to lose a few friends with this one.

Your basic concept is good, but won't win against any highly competitive decks without a good bit of luck. Discard as a strategy is usually just too slow. There's also a lot of graveyard recursion going about. Making someone discard Lingering Souls isn't gonna make them flip a table.
I would not recommend playing Codex Shredder . You don't seem to be relying on mill, and getting one card back for 5 mana is iffy at best.
I'm glad to see you putting together cards that don't generally see a lot of play, though. I'm always happy to lose a game to a unique/interesting deck build. I'm never happy to lose to the latest Tier-1 netdeck.
