Deck Description

How can you lose when your opponent cant have any cards in their hand? Havent tried this out, but it looks fun!

How to Play

Keep them from getting anything out. Get Liliana's Caress and Shrieking Affliction out and watch their life tick down.

I need to copy and past my rant I give to people who use Liliana's Caress (or Megrim) over Quest for the Nihil Stone.
I love Caress. I bought 4 of her. Have a red/black discard deck with Caress/Burning Inquiry. It is very nice.
However, I can not tell you the number of times that I have lost to my friend's Nihil Stone/Ensnaring Bridge deck.
I would say I have lost to him over 20 times and probably have only beat him about 4 times. And none of those 4 times I beat him was with my red/black discard deck. So, he has beat me over 20 times with Nihil Stone. I have a right to hate Nihil Stone and rant on how awesome it is.

With that said, if you are going to run Liliana's Caress/Affliction, you friend did it right!!!
You have very little creatures AND A LOT of discard spells. Yep. That is how to do discard correctly.
SOOO many people run a lot of creatures with their discard decks. Lame. To win with Caress you need to make them discard almost every single turn. How can you do that if you have 20 creatures in your deck, right? You figured that out. Good job.

You said that you have not played the deck yet. I know you will topdeck so badly!!! You do not have any cards that will let you draw. You need them, desperately. If you run out of cards in your hand, and have to rely on drawing 1 card a turn...then you have a great chance at losing the tempo race. Your creatures are iffy. You are running only a few creatures, so that is good...but there may be better options. And the way you beat people with playing Discard is to outpace them. Where is Dark Ritual?!

Suggestions:

3 to 4 Dark Rituals. Turn 1. Play Swamp. Play Dark Ritual. Play Liliana's Caress and then Despise. You have Caress out and your opponent is already down 1 card and 2 life. All on Turn 1.

3 to 4 draw spells like Sign In Blood or Night's Whisper. Notice on the example with Dark Ritual, you would only have 3 cards left in your hand on Turn 1. You do not need to run out of cards!! I can't express how important that is for Discard.

Creatures: Guiltfeeder. It is brutal. Unblockable except against artifact creatures and black creatures. He does damage equal to the number of cards in your opponent's graveyard. So, by Turn 6, when you attack with him, you are going to be doing massive damage with him. His defense is 4. That gets around stuff like Lighting Bolt.

Nyxathid. He is incredible for 3 mana!!! If your opponent has 1 card in his hand, Nyxathid is a 6/6. If your opponent has 2 cards in his hand Nyxathid is a 5/5. If your opponent has 3 cards, then Nyxathid is a 4/4. Etc. etc. However, your opponent won't ever have cards in his hand, right? Not with all of your discard spells. SO, mostly likely your Nyxathid is going to be a 7/7 or 6/6.

Discard cards.
Funeral Charm. The only instant discard card in the entire of Magic. One mana. Brutal!!! Opponent draws a card and you pay 1 mana to make him discard it before he even gets a chance to play it.

Chain of Smog. It is 2 mana. 2 cards. Your opponent can pay mana and recast it back at you. And you can pay mana to recast it back at him. With Caress, Smog can do a lot of damage to your opponent.

Good luck!
