Updated for Gatecrash!

Creature-mill seems viable, and it's certainly fun to play. The two mechanics play into each other well, and offer some quick blow-outs (Jace's Phantasm -> Jace's Phantasm / Thought Scour -> Breaking or something similar with Wight of Precinct Six). If the game goes a bit longer, I have a decent amount of disruption while I set up an undercosted fatty, or break out a Consuming Aberration or Evil Twin a threat.

A few sources of red mana open up a bunch of options. It obviously allows me to cast the red half of Breaking / Entering, but also gives me some nice sideboard options - including Slaughter Games .

Thoughts and suggestions are absolutely welcome. I especially need sideboard help.

Dragon's Maze Update — May 10, 2013

Edit

Did a real Dragon's Maze update. Hiding old comments.

I'm trying to figure out a few things, still. I think I want to bump it up to 4x Wight of Precinct Six because they are awesome, but am not sure what to cut. I think I should also be mainboarding 2x Mutilate, since they are good against a wide range of decks and help me if I get a slow start creature-wise. Yes, they kill some of my early dudes (if they haven't grown), but it also puts things in the graveyard, and an activated Jace's Phatasm or Wight of Precinct Six can sometimes live through it. I am considering making the swap for 2x Though Scour, but those are such nice early plays that I'm not sure.

The deck could benefit from adding in 2x Mind Sculpt for more consistency on the early large mill play. Again, I'm not sure what goes away for them.

General question: Do I have enough removal? Is my breakdown reasonable, or should I change it up?

In the sideboard, are Sire Of Insanitys worth it? I know that they are awesome in certain circumstances, and it's nice to have access to a couple more curve-toppers, but they are much, much better with Cavern of Souls which I'm unlikely to acquire.

Rakdos Charm vs Grafdigger's Cage or something else for Reanimator matchups? I'm strongly considering both. Rakdos Charm is nice since it also can come in against some random artifact that I'm having trouble with. Enchantments are an issue - I have one Cyclonic Rift, and could add another if needed.

The rest of the cards in the Maybeboard are those that make some sense and I have access to. Syncopate and Spell Rupture both seem like good options for slowing down an opponent with my gameplan.
