Combo off or flood the board to kill and/or mill your opponents!

This is a mostly finished build that I may do some additional tweaking on.

The point of this deck is to mill your opponents out or kill them with combat damage (or both, with Mindcrank) and there are plenty of ways to do so. I used Burgeoning, Rites of Flourishing, Collective Voyage, Horn of Greed to simultaneously ramp myself up, get more cards out of my opponents' decks, and enable cards like Mind Grind, Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker, and Trepanation Blade to more consistently perform well.

Some really strong combos for this deck:

Murkfiend Liege + Phenax, God of Deception : Murkfiend not only gives your creatures pseudo-vigilance, but with Phenax on the board, you can tap your creatures to mill at each end step.

Master Biomancer + Progenitor Mimic : Not only is Biomancer strong in his own right in a counter deck, but you can use ProMimic to get some insane boosts going on. I also have the Mimic in the deck as a utility card.

Altar of Dementia + Reyhan, Last of the Abzan + wipes: Altar of Dementia offers great utility in this deck. With Reyhan, you can sacrifice creatures that become less useful as the game wears on, such as Fleet Swallower which will become much less powerful as your opponents' decks get smaller. You can also respond to board wipes by saccing your creatures to mill your opponents, or prevent exile wipes from completely removing your creatures.

Duskmantle Guildmage + Mindcrank : A given for any mill deck that has blue and black in it. Activate Duskmantle Guildmage while you have Mindcrank out, deal one damage, and hit your opponent for infinite mill/damage.

Sideboard options:

Praetor's Grasp: Get rid of those pesky Eldrazi titans that prevent your opponents from being milled out. It gives you the option to cast them if you have the mana, and it doesn't rely upon you having Planar Void out.
