I love this deck, Oona was my very first commander. I think you need to get some more tutors in this deck. You need to be able to get your win cons quickly so that you can bring the pain. Demonic Tutor, Cruel Tutor, Increasing Ambition, Diabolic Intent, would all be good cards for this deck.

I would also suggest Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and Black Market for helping with mana fixing.

And it's already in your maybe board but Twincast would be hilarious with Traumatize.

Once I can afford to drop the coin for the tutors, they will most certainly be in the deck.

I realize now that Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth isn't in the list, but it is in my actual deck. I will have to replace a swamp.

I am interested in Twincast but more interested in pairing it with a counterspell. example opponent casts Cyclonic Rift for the overload cost. I play Counterspell and then Twincast, targeting the Cyclonic Rift. gives you a kind of Commandeer effect.

If you're still looking for removal you should try Tragic Slip.

@ninjaman16782: Glimpse the Unthinkable and Isochron Scepter don't work together.

Crazy deck you have here bro! This looks really cool! I havent played mill, but dang, i want to try it out now!

A few suggestions i have for you here: Breaking / Entering, Memory Sluice and Paranoid Delusions.

You've made me want to play mill bro, and thats something no other deck has done! Awesome job bro!

Breaking / Entering isn't legal in this deck.

Although a really crazy mill combo is Spell Crumple and Tunnel Vision. You counter a spell with Spell Crumple and put it on the bottom of their library and then cast Traumatize and name the spell you just countered then watch them mill their entire library.

gnizz00- as chirz2792 said, because Breaking / Entering has a read mana cost, it can't be played in this deck.

Originally, I had both Memory Sluice and Paranoid Delusions in the deck, but I just found that I didn't utilize them much, probably because I don't have many creatures in this deck. While the mill is definitely a blanket theme for the deck, I am moving this deck into using more graveyard/library theft and copy mechanisms.

Thanks for the support though!

Well if your swapping it more to a copy mechanic deck, Dimir Doppelganger is great. And what i mean by Breaking / Entering is that you can cast only one side if you want, and then it works great.

I have Dimir Doppelganger in the deck currently. And no, you can't cast just one side of a split spell. They are individual spells, and in edh, you can not have any spells in your deck that have mana color symbols that are not in your commanders colors. So that entire card is a no go in any 2 color deck.

@gnizz00: It has a red mana symbol on the card so he can't play it in this deck because it's not in his commander's color identity.

Oh, sorry, im new to commander and i dont really know all the rules and everything, sorry!

@chirz2792 I know, but they are both great cards for this deck

Muddle the Mixture and Dimir Infiltrator. Both can be used to tutor for things that cost 2 mana, like Mindcrank and Duskmantle Guildmage. If you don't need MTM to tutor, you can use it to protect a piece of the combo. DI is unblockable, so if you don't need it to tutor, it's good at triggering the crank and getting the combo going. Combined cost for those two cards, roughly one dollar.

Cruel Control is Grixis. Where is your Ultimatium?

Megalomania says... #19

is really weak in dealing with artifacts and enchantments. Unless you can afford Gate to Phyrexia, adding counterspells and bounce spells/effects are going to be your best options. Or add . Lol.

I have considered going green... But I think I will try to add Gate to Phyrexia
