Deck discussion for empty handed? V2

Well you're clearly going for budget standard, so let me see: I don't like mire's toll or psychic miasma- you should have some removal instead of those, like go for the throat, doom blade, grasp of darkness, or disfigure, or a combination of them. I can see that nihil stone is supposed to be your finisher, but that runs into a fundamental problem with discard. If you don't get the quest until after they are handless and just playing whatever they are topdecking, it's not going to ever get counters unless you sign in blood them and then play your discard. And you only have 3 of them, so without it you don't really have a good kill. I would suggest rethinking that, maybe with some big creatures like massacre wurm or something. You could also use some board sweeping, so grab black sun's zenith, slagstorm, or pyroclasm if u don't wanna spend the money. Burst lighting could help if you want a pyromancer ascension burn kill as plan b, but I'm not entirely sure what pyromancer ascension is doing in this deck- by the time it's going off and you are copying your discard, they won't have anything left to discard. Also, back to your nihil stone activation in late game problem, you could go for burning inquiry. And dark tutelage could help with some consistency with your draws.

Oh, and haunting echoes is rather random- I guess it makes sense with your targeted discard so you can just clean out their deck of their bombs, but it's rather high cost and not always going to be helpful, and you won't be decking them anyway.

after all this wasn't my first version and i kept alot of the same kinks from the first
I will consider usic slagstorm
and i agree with you on the use of dark tutelage as well as removal
