This is a standard, Blue Mill/Control deck that's fueled with the suffering and my hatred to Pay to Win players. The idea of the deck is to be cheap, easy to pilot & strong. You'll need to get Delirium online by turn 3/4, block everything your opponent sends your way, or send it back to their hand. You should be able to hold your opponent at bay while setting the delirium up and slowly working your way to the 7/8 point where you will be unstoppable. There are some issues going against fast decks which I'm trying to figure out. After the first idea of this deck, and doing Aether Revolt game day my original idea didn't hold up to well coming 14/21 out ranking Golgari Gearhulk and Copy Cat decks. I found a deck that helped me put in the missing pieces to help this deck flow incredibly well now and it really is a deck I think can shut down current meta decks.

Creatures

1. Consulate Skygate The budget blocker that can stop the main weakness to the deck, flying.
2. Manic Scribe The main mill driver of the deck. Mixed with Engulf the Shore you can get more milling out of them but don't thoughtlessly block with this card, protect it and get that delirium.
3. Minister of Inquiries Nice blocker that gives 2 and on turn 2 can start milling your opponent having two bounce of each other is a fun thing.
4. Filigree Familiar This is life gain, card draw on death. Mainly a chump blocker but it helps get that sweet, sweet delirium.
5. Pilgrim's Eye Land gaining! Plus a 1/1 blocker with flying but it's all about that land... And delirium.

The Spells

1. Epiphany at the Drownyard , Take Inventory & Glimmer of Genius I love card draw! (Sing it like I want candy)
2. Engulf the Shore This card I use to take the absolute @#%$. Though it is meant to be used as a protection when you're trying to get to the 7 mark. Counterspell your way as much as you can unless you suspect you might need to keep them late game and get more value out of the Scribes and Ministers.
3. Startled Awake   Milling for 13
4. Shrewd Negotiation & Confiscation Coup "Oh! You worked hard to get your Gideon or Gearhulk? Man it looks real nice. Here! have this Pilgrims eye in exchange.
