I got some nice cards in a trade and added these to the mix. I decided to focus more on the milling aspect and found some duo role cards to help control outcomes a little better. I've noticed when I win that it is usually a brutal win, but as always it's per luck of the draw. I've got a good idea on what else I want to remove for 3rd cuts, but first tell me what you guys think.
Removed: 2x Cancel, 1x Countermand, 3x Thought Scour, 1x Belltower Sphinx, 1x Phenax, God of Deception, 2x Returned Phalanx, 2x Shipwreck Singer, 1x Curse of the Bloody Tome,1x Millstone.
Added: 1x Archive Trap, 2x Soul Manipulation, 2xSwamp, 1x Nephalia Drownyard, 1x Mindshrieker, 2x Consuming Aberration, 1x Lazav, Dimir Mastermind, 2x Academy Elite, 1x Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker, 1x Elite Arcanist, 1x Jace, Memory Adept, 2x Mind Sculpt, 2x Traumatize,2x Mind Funeral, 1x Psychic Drain, 1x Paranoid Delusions, 2x Trepanation Blade, 2x Sands of Delirium, 2x Grindclock.
Essentially I traded out some not milling creatures for some milling/hurting creatures, my Cancel and Countermand for Soul Manipulation, and rounded out on some more sorceries to help mill. I'm a little on the fence about Psychic Drain and the extra Traumatize. I added in the second Traumatize only so it wouldn't be so much of a luck draw, but if i can cut back on other cards then I can take it out because I'll have a higher chance of getting it in a draw. I'm pretty sure I'm going to remove Siren of the Silent Song and my 2x Wall of Frost for some Fog Bank if I can find any for trade. I dropped Phenax, God of Deception just because I'm using more sorceries and instants than creatures (Plus thinking on making him a commander). On the Artifacts I'm thinking of only doing 1 of each. Questions, comments, or concerns????
