INNISTRAD MONO BLUE STANDARD CLUE MILL ENGINE

I wanted a standard deck that could mill and do it only with Innistrad cards.

Its main engine is Trail of Evidence paired with Fleeting Memories. This deck uses the clues generated to mill and keep card draw coming. Only milling three cards per clue is slow, but steady. We feed it with our other spells like Startled Awake   and Broken Concentration, which in their own right defend us and mill further.

Erdwal Illuminator gives us a flying blocker and a clue boost. I use Manic Scribe to chump block and mill more, while waiting for their delirium to kick in. Displace is used to bounce them, milling more or defending them. It can grab two at a time, meaning a six card mill when they return. I use Forgotten Creation when I want to reach delirium or draw more. He also represents some board presence. Curious Homunculus   is essential to keep the cost of our instants low, but could possibly make use of prowess once flipped, to keep a slight ground force established.

And lastly, a single Rise from the Tides makes for a surprise win condition. It should have plenty of fuel by the time you've found it.

There are 22 lands. We only need blue mana, so I've mostly Islands. I'd like to throw in a few Nephalia Academy cards, to fight unwelcome hand discard effects.

Suggestions are welcome.
