Hey man, This looks like an interesting idea. I remember using the original book burning card. I think you have the right direction with the cards in your side and maybe board. What it might come down to is just getting those higher tier cards and implementing them. +1 for the idea from me.

Thanks for the input. i've got the same feeling. Do you see any that are particularly useful or combo really well that you would throw in for sure? I don't see your +1 either...

Interesting idea. I'm great fan of mill decks, but I have not seen UR milling yet.

MindcrankMTG Card: Mindcrank can be handy for your deck, adding milling component to your burn spells and your Delvers.

While splashing red, try Desperate RavingsMTG Card: Desperate Ravings and/or Faithless LootingMTG Card: Faithless Looting, both of them works well with Jace's ErasureMTG Card: Jace's Erasure and Jace's ArchivistMTG Card: Jace's Archivist.

I think this deck can work. I like such nice and refreshing ideas! +1

@ Narim faithless looting and desperate ravings are excellent ideas. I will be having a look at running them for sure. Thanks!

Mindcrank is something I have to weigh, I'm not sure if this deck is burn enough, but with the titans it may have to make an appearance.

Mindcrank is a little bit underwhelming on its own, because you will kill your opponent sooner than mill him... but it can be nice addition. If you're doing damage to your opponent, but your win condition is milling, you have nothing to lose. When having two of them in play and attacking with red titan, you can mill at least 6 cards per attack.

BTW, you may like Shattered PerceptionMTG Card: Shattered Perception too :)

Oh, sorry. Should be there now.

I like Narims idea of Desperate RavingsMTG Card: Desperate Ravings, I don't think you have enough graveplay and flashback to be running Faithless LootingMTG Card: Faithless Looting. Shattered perception is a sorcery speed Archivist ability and may work well, the flashback is always nice too.

After some deliberation I've decided to leave Faithless LootingMTG Card: Faithless Looting and Desperate RavingsMTG Card: Desperate Ravings out for now. While the interaction they have with Jace's ErasureMTG Card: Jace's Erasure is great, the mill effect and card advantage are better provided by Thought ScourMTG Card: Thought Scour as it doesn't require any cards to be discarded and with one or two erasure out, will still mill for 3-4. I am now turning the idea of ShriekgeistMTG Card: Shriekgeist over in my head. If I did acquire some Sword of Body and MindMTG Card: Sword of Body and Mind i would certainly consider adding them, maybe even to replace the delvers. At this moment I am in talks to get a Consecrated SphinxMTG Card: Consecrated Sphinx. I have my eye on another Jace, Memory AdeptMTG Card: Jace, Memory Adept too.
