{U}{B} The idea is to build a powerful mill deck. I want to utilize this strategy in our play group to utilize combos, survive until late game, and quickly dispatch enemies by dwindling their decks. This commander seems to be capable of some shenanigans, so if I missed any fun combos please let me know in the comments. {B}{U}

Throw out some suggestions if this list can be improved upon.
