This is a Modern Semi Mill Deck I've been running in game's with my friend's looking to start running it at my local game night's. Been having a fair amount of luck with it now and then minor bad draw's nothing super horrible. Just looking for tips or tweak's to the deck just to improve it so I can play and do decent outside of my friend's.

I have this deck obviously built around the idea of making your opponent to discard his cards. With card's like glimpse of the unthinkable, Mind Funeral and Mind Sculpt wrecking a lot of player's deck's plans in the first few turns. Even had a couple games where turn 5 was dropping Consuming Aberration at 30+/30+. Which hey isn't outstanding by deck mean's but just funny to watch opponent's who are so focus on trying to figure out how to beat me before I mill them out, seeing Consuming Aberration, Nemesis of Reason or Phenax, God of Deception Coming into play. Having Circu, Dimir Lobotomist is just a great nail in the coffin or well spike through the eye, whatever suits you better.

Opening I general try to get my Sorcery's off right off of the bat. But having a small line up of Wakedancer and Skirsdag High Priest which seem a little odd in this deck but work well for Phenax, God of Deception's ability. And Jace's Phantasm just works wonders with Glimpse the Unthinkable for a round 2 5/5 again not outstanding but enough of a treat player's wanna take care of it right away.

Card's like Extirpate, Surgical Extraction and Circu, Dimir Lobotomist just helping keep control of your opponent's options. And vision of beyond you easily reap benefits of the three card draw by the time you need it.

And really want to add in 4 Waste Not
