The main strategy of this deck is to use Consuming Abberration and Essence Harvest together to deal 20+ damage all at once. Or Jace, Memory Adept and Duskmantle Guildmage (activating his first ability twice) and doing 20 damage. The rest is there for support or to actually mill the opponent out. I have 4x Think Twice and 2x Though Scour for more draw power and higher chances of getting the cards I need as quick as possible.

I'm quite new to the game and I could use any good pointers. Wondering if I should reduce the counter spell cards and make a more aggressive mill strategy. This deck works well, the biggest problem is that it's slow and a rather fast deck is the biggest problem, the counter spells somewhat help with that.
