Next iteraton on deck:bigger-blacker-balls. I've shifted back to more Blue and swapped out the lifegain that was there before for more mill and discard.

I would have just updated that deck, but there were enough changes to warrant a new deck posting.

It still relies on various discard cards like Horrifying Revelation and Black Cat combining with Waste Not , but now Jace, Memory Adept is not the only powerful mill card. Psychic Spiral is a good replacement for graveyard cards because it makes the opponent mill after getting your graveyard back

My maybe board here is mostly cards that I am considering putting in my deck or have been recently removed. I am looking to trim down what I have numbers wise as well, but am less concerned with trimming than replacing cards with superior versions at current without completely altering my mana curve (keep it low :) )
