This deck is very much a work in progress. Still trying to figure out what works and doesn't.

Any white cards other than Detention Sphere that could be useful to the theme I would love to hear about.

I think I need to remove some of the check lands for shock or traditional lands.

Might need some healing. Thinking Sphinx's Revelation, or just sacrificing Consuming Aberration with Dying Wish attached (I have a nice sac outlet with Undercity Informer).

If you see something that looks underpowered (or just have some random thoughts) I'd love you to give me feedback!

Mainboard:

When a cipher goes off it counts as casting a spell activating the secondary of Consuming Aberration. Enemy decks can be milled very fast by attacking with unblockable ciphered Invisible Stalkers.

Hands of Binding a cheap cipher that helps the deck in the vunerable early game. AEtherize provides additional assistance against agro decks.

Call of the Nightwing gives me blockers and additional flying protection. I can sacrifice these with Undercity Informer for additional milling.

Cards like Curiosity, Bane Alley Broker, Dimir Charm and Jace, Memory Adept improve draw and help get the cards I need.

Last Thoughts could replace Curiosity as I could get 2 cards in the first turn and it is also a cipher (Curiosity doesn't count as a spell for Consuming Aberration) but at 4x the CMC I don't think it's worth it.

Detention Sphere to counter many different things including the ever annoying Elixir of Immortality.

Duskmantle Guildmage provides some nice mill nukes when I have spare mana and a decent 2/2 blocker for CMC 2. Amazing nukes when combined with Jace, Memory Adept.

Jace's Phantasm and Wight of Precinct Six because they are both cheap and they scale well with all the milling. Might remove the wights in favor of 4 phantasms. Will certaintly do this if I have trouble with flying.

Rogue's Passage can sneak through a fat Consuming Aberration or another creature if I desperatly need a cipher ability.

Sideboard:

Beckon Apparition make an appearance on the sideboard to counter players who think cards in the graveyard are still fun to play with.

Dying Wish / Murder Investigation could be attached to Consuming Aberration shortly after it hits the field as a nice protection against death cards. Not syre which would work better for this, the 1/1 tokens make useful blockers and can be sacrificed with Undercity Informer.

Mind Grind while nice in the deck I prefer to have it in the sideboard until I have more idea of their composition. Cards like Frontline Medic can make it completly useless.

Voidwalk fills the same role as Hands of Binding but can be used to block creatures with nasty abilities and remove negative enchantments off friendly creatures.
