I'm relatively new to EDH and Magic in general, so deckbuilding (mostly knowing cards) is something that I'm learning as I go. I'm also trying to keep it relatively cheap (i.e. most cards under a dollar preferably).

My primary wincon used to be bashing them with their own creatures, or milling them out. I have since discovered that this is too unreliable and takes too long. However, I have discovered the following card combos:

Duskmantle Guildmage + Traumatize (damage)Keening Stone + Traumatize (mill)Duskmantle Guildmage + Mindcrank (mill + loss of life).

My problem is getting them reliably. To this end, I need some help with tutors. Any suggestions on what to put in and what to take out are appreciated.

Is it worth going for Tunnel Vision + Vessel of Endless Rest or Hinder + Tunnel Vision ?

If you have any suggestions for other combos I can add, that'd be awesome too.

The maybeboard is a mixture of cards I have already taken out and cards I am looking to put in.
