So it has been about 4-5 years since I have really played, much less keep track of what has come out. This is my commander deck that has been gathering dust and I thought it was time to give it a make over.

I am traditionally not a control player, but I do have experience with the mill, and I normally get a little jelly of some of the bombs dropped by opponents. So, maybe the Dimir could help me with utilize both. This deck is strongest against creature heavy beat-down decks. Removal, milling, and copy ability make you cycle through your deck while allowing me to steal and copy your most precious possessions. The goal is to take what is yours, make you hurt, and maintain board state with counters and a nice splash of control.

Primary win cons- This deck runs the potential to win through direct damage, life loss from milling-based abilities, and of course ruination of the library.

Basic Breakdown-

General- The House of Dimir holds some of the most devious and cunning individuals on their plane. Their leaders can really give this deck some flavor and change the way it is played.

Lazav, Dimir Mastermind- Hexproof and copy ability. Oh yeah. This guy has taken over as my lead Commander. His copy ability is fantastic and copying other Commanders, making decks with problematic commanders fun to play against.

Creatures who love the graveyard- Consuming Aberration getspower directly from the graveyard. I mean, come on, Consuming Aberration is terrifying.

Wrexial, the Risen Deep is nasty, able to steal from the graveyard.

Milling Creatures- Besides the generals previously mentioned, BAMFs for milling include Hedron Crab, Duskmantle Guildmage, and Mindshrieker.

I have a mess of instant/sorcery/artifact/enchantment abilities to keep the mill going as well.

Library Theft- The Duo- Lord of the Void and Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver love what you have and don't mind helping themselves

Hand-Hate- Because what would Dimir be without discard/hand advantage:

Doomsday Specter, Ghastlord of Fugue, Dire Undercurrents

There is also a lot of synergy in this deck. It's fun to play and can be frustrating to play against.

So there you have it. This is V2.0 of this EDH Mill deck.

I am really looking for some suggestions. I am not necessarily looking for competitive, but casual competitive would be nice. So please comment and leave your thoughts!

And yes, I know I do not have Glimpse the Unthinkable, but I am not spending ~$25 for a sorcery (that's also why you do not see Thoughtseize in here).

AS OF RIGHT NOW, I AM LOOKING TO INCORPORATE SOME OF THE MAYBEBOARD IN AND SUGGESTIONS ON NEW(ER) CARDS THAT HAVE COME OUT SINCE I TOOK A BREAK FROM PLAYING.
