Pigna's Fast Discard Challenge. You could potentially force them to discard their hand on their first turn (before you even go) by reanimating Jin-Gitaxias in their end step with Gemstone Caverns/Lotus Petal and Leyline starting in play...

I like this deck's idea, but I think I am missing something. How are you putting Jin-Gitaxias into the grave at the beginning of the game? If the goal was to discard him with Gemstone, and reanimate, you cant do that because Gemstone removes it from the game. I mean, the only real combo I can see with that requires Gemstone out, playing Dark Rit to cast Buried Alive or Entomb, discarding Jin, then playing reanimate. That is probably what you meant, but it seems like that hand would have to be pretty lucky to pull that off consistently.

There's actually a fair amount of redundancy in it. Obviously, it's not going to be a turn 0 Jin every game but it will reliably cause a full discard by the second turn which is clearly much faster than the T1 duress T2 hymn variants... You've got Gemstone and Lotus Petals as the original mana sources. Entomb and Buried Alive to take them from the library or Last Rites if you happened to draw it. Then Reanimate or Animate Dead to pull it from the yard. The only mandatory piece without redundancy is the Leyline. There are some test draws that didn't even require a dark ritual to get him in turn 0.
