Thanks CreationArt. I played this deck last night with Szadek, Lord of Secrets instead of Duskmantle Guildmage and Balustrade Spy for a few games and the first one was against a 100 card G/W deck, I milled down over half with only 1 Consuming Aberration showing it's 47/47 face before my life ran out. The next game was against a Lifesteal B/W deck. This game I only had 24 mana total in the deck and was mana screwed for most of the game but I pulled off a mill victory mostly thanks to Dream Twist and Codex Shredder . I had Chronic Flooding come into my opening hand and was able to play it turn 3 but it was ineffective. I think I will change out Chronic Flooding with Breaking or Triumph of Cruelty . After getting creature screwed and mana screwed I added in the Duskmantle Guildmage , additional mana, and Balustrade Spy . I'm also considering adding a couple Glimmervoid or something to use the green ability of Deathrite Shaman . I think it will work better when I next play.
Thoughts?

I can't be much help when it comes to creatures, as I hardly use them. I don't know why, but I just do. I would do Breaking over Triumph of Cruelty . In my opinion, I think there needs to be a better focus on either Mill, or Kill. With a deck trying to achieve two separate things, it's rather hard to fix. This is the path I started down 9 months ago, and I'm glad I shifted my focus to one, rather than the other.

mindseeker for another vosk might be better. curse of the bloody for another psychic strike. drop the codex shredder for more memory adept and the last psychic strike. should improve consistancy by dropping the 1x of stuff and codex shouldnt be needed.

How about adding Breaking instead of Dream Twist ? For 3 mana (includes FB), dream twist mills 6, when Breaking mills 8 for UB.
I've had problems with Chronic Flooding , it's great if you can get it out ASAP, but after the opponent has 3-4 mana it renders it almost completely useless because they tend to set it aside and not touch it.
I'm interested to see how this deck plays, if you would please update us with game results! I love mill, but mine is a casual deck. There's quite a few win conditions in here, so I'm interested to see if you can actually pull them often.
