Hey! I've just put this together and I'd love some feedback and some suggestions. If you view this, I'd really appreciate some comments.

Alright, so there are two main ways to win with this deck. 1) Mill, mill, mill away. Jace, Traumatize, and Mill Stone are here to help win the game this way. If need be, I can throw some Tome Scours and Mirko Vosk in from the side board to help out as well. 2) Life gain mixed with Sanguine Bond. Crypt Incursion not only helps me against pesky reanimators, it recycles all of those creatures I've killed with Devour Flesh, Murder, Supreme Verdict, and counter spells and gives me three life for all of them. Sphinx's Revelation, Riot Control, Trading Post, Bubbling Cauldron, and Search Warrant help out in this department as well.

Xathrid Necromancer is here to help me keep some sort of creature on the battlefield if I need it. Elite Arcanist can help me continue to counter, gain life with riot control, or kill their creatures all day.

Suggestions are very much needed. If you don't think this will be competitive, tell me how I can make it so that it is. Thanks!
