The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Looks like a fun deck to play. I like that you damage them for drawing and discarding and then make them draw. You could speed it up a little bit by throwing dark ritual in and instead of using blazing specter I would use hypnotic specter. Also, Hymn to Tourach is vicious discard. I would find some way to work that in.

how about Hypnotic Specter?
I like it, but I agree there seems to be a few odd card choices. It may just be your preference which is fine. I have a discard deck myself. Take a look if you like maybe you'll get some ideas, and feel free to comment. http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=190574
I posted from my phone before, now that I'm at my PC I can go into further detail on some questions and suggestions. It seems to me like the way you currently have things set up, you have it geared toward multiplayer games. (All the cards that say 'each player' like Lethemancer, Rotting Rats, and Burning Inquiry) One of the issues I see here is that these will cause you to discard as well, and you have no graveyard recovery. How are you going to fare if you're discarding all your stuff as well, with no way to bring it back (and no benefit to you for throwing it away)? Dementia Bat is really, really expensive for what it does for you.. 5 mana for a 2/2 flyer? And then you have to pay another 5 mana to sac it and get the discard effect you want. Very not worth it, in my eyes. I would definitely replace the Dementia Bat and Liliana's Specter with Guul Draz Specter and Hypnotic Specter. I would leave the Blazing Specters in.. they seem like a good fit, and as you say - they have haste! :) The Lethemancer and the Rats as I said, cause you to discard your stuff as well. I would replace the Rotting Rats with Ravenous Rats - same cost and effect, just on a single opponent instead of all players. You could replace the Lethemancer with some Sangromancers. I know the Sangs don't have discard directly, but they cause you to gain 3 life for every card your opponent discards. That's a hefty boon in this deck. Just a suggestion on that, but either way I'd replace the Lethemacers. Burning Inquiry again makes you discard your own cards as well. Great if you don't have anything in hand, but what are the chances you've played everything you can? You might consider replacing those with Mind Twist, Mind Shatter, or Wrench Mind. Lastly, you might consider using some dual land like Akoum Refuge (pretty cheap), and cutting your total land back to 20. Could do something like 3 Mountain, 2 Grixis Panorama, 4 Akoum Refuge, and 11 Swamp. This gives technically gives you 7 Mountain, 15 Swamp, and 2 Colorless (which you can use to fish up a land type you need, if needed). Cutting back your land to 20 would allow you to add a few more useful cards in, like Scepter of Fugue and 2 more of The Rack. Anyhow, just friendly observations and suggestions! Good luck and have fun. :)
Hypnotic Specter is good (definitely better than Liliana's Specter). Needle Specter enchanted with Unholy Strength and the opponent discards 3 cards a turn. My favorite Specter is Guul Draz Specter :p
I love the cards! from my experiences of playing a few discards, however, i find sometimes that my megrims/lilliana's caresses may sit there useless as my opponent plays top deck on me. I would reccommend either the deck or sideboard have 2 more of "the rack" to damage your opponent if he/she plays top deck
Agreed Hypnotic Specter is sweet i'll have to go out and get some for sure I thought it cost 4 to put out 2 colorless and 2 black but it turns out it was 3 1 colorless and 2 black my thought process was hypnotic specter that cost 4 and blazing specter that cost 4, 2 colorless 1 black 1 red I chose the one that gave me haste but seriously thank you all for your suggestions.
