A casual mill deck abusing Mesmeric Orb.

Strategy:

You try to play and protect Mesmeric Orbs while countering, bouncing and tapping your opponent's threats. Isochron Scepter lets you play your best instant again and again. You mill yourself quite a bit but there are a few graveyard synergies:

• Gaea's Blessing protects you from your orbs.

• AEther Burst gets better and better for each AEther Burst in your GY (even the scepter copies can bounce up to 3 creatures).

• Increasing Confusion can be flashbacked.

• Psychic Spiral is really great in this deck. Your opponent stalls and is not tapping anything? You have 5 lands and a spiral? Tap out at your opponents end step to mill yourself. In response to a blessing you can mill your opponent for a great amount.

Problems right now:

• Drawing a blessing is always a dead card. (Brainstorm, discard could help)
• Not enough card drawing.
• Scepter + Counterspell makes me feel bad.
• Eldrazi, Hexproof, man-lands
• Sometimes a bad timed Blessing can ruin my graveyard.
• Boring deck name

Any card suggestions?
