Mill/Sacrifice version of Rats

My general ratio is:

50 mana; lands and ramp, usually a 37–13 split

10 card draw; cards that net you 2+ cards in hand

8 targeted removal; split between creature / artifact / enchantment removal and countermagic

3 board wipes; creature-light decks might want one more, creature-heavy decks might want one less

2 graveyard recursion

2 flexible tutors; higher budgets I recommend more tutors

1 graveyard hate; since you need to keep Graveyard decks honest

1 surprise "I Win" card; something that can win games the turn you cast it without too much setup
