Theros Standard U/B Mill/Control concept. Relies heavily on targeted removal. Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver and Jace, Memory Adept provide good Planeswalker utility support and big mill punch. Codex Shredder provides the card advantage, with an assist from Inspiration. Mind Grind is the finisher.

Concerns:

1 - Aggro decks. Omenspeaker only goes so far. The removal is reasonably fast, however.

2 - Is one copy of Psychic Spiral in the sideboard really necessary? It's really there to counter enemy decks running Psychic Spiral.

3 - How do we feel about Woodlot Crawler as a sideboard choice?

4 - Does Inspiration even need to be in the deck, what with 4x Codex Shredder sitting there?
