How is your deck weak to combo decks with nine maindeck discard? I am not criticizing, you're doing very well, but it seems excessive. Eight is accepted and I am getting away with 7 (Confidant draws me into them, Therapy doubles up.) I think the Warping Wail idea is cool, but reactive. I would think Sneak/Show would be a favorable matchup given the Therapies and heavy discard emphasis, same with Storm. Flusterstorm counters instant speed removal on Marit Lage. What is Warping Wail countering/killing? You say it gives you a lot of outs, but I can't seem to think of any besides Show and Tell, Burning Wish, and Infernal Tutor. I think those slots would be better as Abrupt Decay or Assassin's Trophy. I think with so many lands you could even pull off Maelstrom Pulse.
Planar Void is fine but it's no Surgical Extraction. I see a fair amount of Dredge at my local and I have an incredibly positive matchup (maindeck Bog will do that.) Even without Bog I can race them typically by mulliganing aggressively. Surgical is only a speedbump agains them, but with Therapy binning a creature to exile their Bridges and Surgical getting their bridges or GGT's it should be enough to get there. The real reason for surgical is *not* losing to Reanimator t1. It also pairs with discard to completely strip combo decks of key pieces.
EDIT: I got an interaction wrong, deleted.
