It's a Dimir mill deck based around Consuming Aberration's size and mill whenever you cast a spell (note cast, not resolve). It wins either by milling the opponent out, hitting with an unblockable Consuming Aberration (Rogue's Passage) or hitting with a huge Essence Harvest.

It also utilizes the synergy between Cipher (Whispering Madness, Paranoid Delusions) and Consuming Aberrations's triggered ability (note you cast the ciphered spell every time you deal combat dmg with ciphered creature) when ciphered to something unblockable (Invisible Stalker).

Also got Lazav, Dimir Mastermind for added shenanigans when i mill i.e. my opponents Angel of Serenity, Griselbrand, Aurelia, the Warleader etc.

playtesting => accordingly changes — Feb. 28, 2013

Edit

Been playtesting a bit today, and did some changes to the mainboard and sideboard accordingly. I don't know what the meta is @ my local FNM and won't be putting specifics as Illness in the Ranks in the sideboard since it's quite likely it'll be a dead card. I thought that Mind Grind really wasn't the card for me untill Slaughter Games happened, so i put it back in the sideboard to cover my a** incase someone sideboards or even mainboards Slaughter Games. I also figured that Grafdigger's Cage would be the best grave hate atleast at the moment since it doesn't kill my consuming abberations. We'll see how that goes tomorrow tho. Also added Hover Barrier as protection against beatdown but not sure about that yet.

Will be posting an update after tomorrow's FNM.
