A simple Mill deck, posed to compete in a local format called MCM, or Medium Class Magic, that only allows Uncommons or common cards from Innistrad onward.

This deck tries to capitalize both on Sphinx's Tutelage and Doorkeeper for their milling capabilities. Everything else is to boost their effectiveness.

Since every creature in the deck is a defender, Axebane Guardian will generate lots of mana, so you can either activate the Tutelage's ability to buy/discard cards for mill effect, or you can cast anything else you have in your hand.

I reckon the deck could use some Treasure Cruise to accelerate the game, though I've prefered to use Wall of Mulch for the draw effect.
