Before starting, in case you are interested I have a different version of this deck more focused on exploring Mirko's thematic, I will leave here the link in case you are interested in seeing it and/or help me improve either: An Unusual Vampire

"Some patients died as a result of the operation and others later committed suicide. Some were left severely brain-damaged. A few people managed to return to responsible work, while at the other extreme people were left with severe and disabling impairments."

Playing a mill deck is like performing a lobotomy to your opponents. As such I think the above description fits the deck very well, metaphorically speaking.

The purpose here is quite simple and straightforward, mill your opponents' decks all the way to 0 or smash them with creatures who grow with graveyards.

Maybeboard:

Possible infinite combos I might consider putting in the deck (they aren't allowed amongst our play group so I might not even add them for a long time):

Duskmantle Guildmage + Mindcrank

Altar of Dementia + Conspiracy + Xathrid Necromancer + some other creature in play

Aphetto Alchemist + Codex Shredder + Illusionist's Bracers

Altar of the Brood + Cloud of Faeries + Deadeye Navigator

The rest of the cards in the maybeboard are cards that I considered putting but I don't know if I should put or what I should swap them with.

Aquireboard:

• Geth, Lord of the Vault

• Jace, the Mind Sculptor

• Jace, Vryn's Prodigy  

• Sunken Ruins

• Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger

Any help to improve the deck, or some fun combos I might not be aware of would be welcome.
