I've loved Circu, Dimir Lobotomist since I first read the card, but I always figured he wasn't effective: he just doesn't mill enough and, with EDH being a singleton format.

Then I realized... why kill with mill? Mill is boring. How about we specifically target their useful cards, and even our own EDH staples? Welcome to Circu Control: Card Denial, where we take all your useful things and sometimes use them to our own advantage. These colors don't give us a lot of the usual single card hate, but its worth it to me to use Circu to his best in EDH.

Sure, we'll be milling a little bit, especially when cards like Glimpse the Unthinkable give Circu double triggers. But the goal is not to hit everyone's library, not usually.
