This is my first draft of a Gwendlyn di Corci discard punisher deck. I tried my best to keep this deck 100% on theme and avoided sinking too much into staples or Grixis goodstuff control. As a result, I'm pretty much entirely devoid of utility. I should probably fix that, but I am having a hard time cutting theme cards.
Please let me know what I am missing (particularly any discard/draw punisher cards). And suggest cuts.
my build, which is now dismantled didnt really need too much utility, although a little doesnt hurt.
force of will is really good since you will likely always have a card to pitch
kederekt leviathan controls the board temporarily and sometimes permanantly if you wheel right afterwards, also it can be unearthed which is great because you may often be wheeling him away.
finally mind over matter is insane, especially in this brew, the only reason not to run it is if you dont want your deck to get too broken.
My other blue decks all include 12+ counterspells, so I'm trying REALLY hard to make this my not-going-to-counter-everything deck. I mean, the theme I'm working with is annoying enough as it is.
But I do need to cut some stuff for more random utility like Damnation (Actually though I kind of like Earthquake variants instead, considering I will be slowly pinging my opponents, I like cards that can finish them off.)
Mind Over Matter is a pretty obvious card I missed. I got so excited over the Telekinetic Bonds combo that I overlooked the obvious.
Thanks for the ideas. Any others?

one force of will is simply to stop people trying to stop you, it isnt there to counter eveything. howling mine effects are pretty solid because they make sure you can keep the wheel of fortunes going as well as making sure your opps have stuff to discard

i will try to add more as i remember them

I revamped the list and posted a version 2 in the original post. Summary of changes:
1. Focusing more on Wheel effects and less on mass discard
2. Cut all the specters
3. Made room for more utility. Specifically: tutors, spot removal, sweepers, and a few counters
4. Added a mana base. It's far from optimal; it's what I have available right now.
