This deck is designed to mill an opponent and win in turn 1 or 2 at the earliest. However, it consistently can win by turn 4 or 5. While the game may go on longer than that we have options to stall until we can achieve such a goal.

Option 1 opening hand. Leyline of the Void , Swamp , 2x Dark Ritual , Helm of Obedience . With this opener we start with leyline on the field. Play our swamp, tap to cast dark ritual to get 3 black in our pool, use 1 swamp to cast our second dark ritual now we have 5 in our pool, with that 5 we cast mind crank leaving 1 in our pool which we use to activate the helm and insta-mill win!

Option 2 opening hand. 2x Swamp or 1x Swamp and 1x Island , Grindstone , 2x Dark Ritual , Painter's Servant . As with the last option we want to play both our dark ritual to get both grindstone and painter's servant out onto the battle field for turn 1. Turn 2 we play our second land and cast our second dark ritual to get 3 in our pool which we use to activate mind crank and insta-mill out opponent. This win con works very well in as a 3 turn win as well. Dark Ritual does not need to be included just so long as you have 3 land in your opening you can insta-mill by turn 3. If we can't get these openers then we have tutor options to get the piece or pieces we are missing. We can use some of our counterspells use as force of will to help stave off any major threats until we can get our mill pieces. Eon Hub has been added so that we can cast pact of negation without having to worry about losing the game due to the upkeep cost. if Leyline of Anticipation is in our opener with few or none of our main win pieces then we can use it to cast aeon hub at the end of our opponents turn if we used Pact of Negation . Additionally Force of Will can be used as a free counter spell if we have excess blue cards in our opener if we don't have access to Eon Hub and we need the mana for Vampiric Tutor .

Since this deck has many illegal cards for a majority of the 60 card formats, if you wanted to play this deck in the legacy format you can swap out Vampiric Tutor for Diabolic Tutor and that will make it legal. I have Vampiric Tutor in there as it's overall a better tutor option for the way this deck functions. If you have Leyline of Anticipation out then Diabolic Tutor may even be the better option as you will then have access to another draw card on your draw step which can feed into one of the combo pieces to win or to help with Force of Will .
