What will become my Gatrcrash-Standard mill deck. Basic idea is to take advantage of the Cipher mechanic, using unblockable creatures to keep my opponents from blocking the ciphered creatures. Invisible Stalker will be the main thing to stack ciphered cards on.

Consuming Aberration is a fantastic component for a mill deck, and combos well with an Invisible Stalker loaded with Cipher cards.

Soul Ransom ...is lovely theft. Also possible card draw, but any single card that could either steal one of their creatures or get them to discard two and me to draw two is absolutely fantastic.

Lazav, Dimir Mastermind. Ever wanted to steal that game-winning creature they just lost to their graveyard? Now you can. And then you can do it again, and again. And then laugh, and laugh, and laugh.

Psychic Strike, Dimir Charm, and Duress round out the control elements.

Undercity Informer + Undead Alchemist is a deadly combo. Keep sacking those zombie tokens for grinds at instant speed. Good if you need emergency blockers as well.
