A kind of silly combo mill deck with no tutors. It is still a work in progress. I want most of the combo cards to have a general purpose as well as a combo. Sidisi is also a possible general. I plan to put it together IRL when my internships turn into paying jobs :p

Magus of the Coffers & Umbral Mantle
Duskmantle Guildmage/Bloodchief Ascension+ Mindcrank = Infinite Mill Combo
Traumatize + Keening Stone = 2 step mill win

Intruder Alarm + Undead Alchemist + Phenax, God of Deception
Intruder Alarm + Bloodline Keeper
Aphetto Alchemist/Basalt Monolith + Mesmeric Orb mills yourself
Mill yourself out? No problem! Morgue Theft + Laboratory Maniac (Yes this is really fragile)

Other things I may want to add:
flashback things
inspired
mean things like meekstone that shut down aggro
=====Taken Out=====
Tunnel Vision + Precognition
Cephalid Illusionist and Lightning Greaves
Necromancy + Kederekt Leviathan for instant speed repeatable mass bounce!
Helm of Obedience + Leyline of the Void/Planar Void===Maybe===Tidewater Minion Wake ThrasherIllusionist's BracersLost Legacy (from Kaladesh)
