For under $20, this deck does pretty damn well with the right setup.

Goal is to get out Consuming Aberration on turn 5, and then use Artful Dodge, Rogue's Passage or Essence Harvest for the kill on turn 6

There are also Wight of Precinct Six because my meta is super full of creatures on creatures on creatures right now. There are so many creatures that one Breaking or Mind Sculpt is basically like adding 3 or 4 +1/+1 counters to my WoP6 and CA.

Mind Sculpt's, Breaking's and Thought Scour are the mill cards.

Unfortunately, a lot of the deck is rotating out... so I only got 3 weeks to play around with it.

I'm not sure how many removals I should run. I would switch out the Fog Bank's and Wall of Frost's with removals like Doom Blade or Ultimate Price and maybe even Devour Flesh. I'm still playing around with walls to see if they are really effective or not.

I also had Inaction Injunction in there before putting in walls. I liked the card draw.

I'd also switch in for some Jace's Phantasm even though they are rotating out. It's a great 1-drop, but it's always mandatory to have 10 cards in the opponent's graveyard, which I don't always get. So the earliest I can have a 5/5 Phantasm is turn 3.

Notes: - I'd get screwed over with Rest in Peace and any other graveyard hate- I need those dual lands! But I got no $ right now
