I like this deck and im modeling my deck after it, but i find id rather use Artful Dodge then use Cyclonic Rift to allow Consuming Aberration to swing for a win. Out of curiosity why did you choose Cyclonic Rift . Also i dont feel using Nephalia Drownyard 's effect is worth its cost, and im considering using Rogue's Passage instead. just adding more chances for the Consuming Aberration unblockable combo. Last with only 4 swamps(unless i draw all of them) im not sure if i could justify Crypt Ghast , and on that note, idk how well i can justify Increasing Confusion or Mind Grind . Although im not sure what to add to this deck to replace those 3 cards. If you had to replace the last 3 cards i mentioned what would you suggest?

This is a very outdated deck. I have yet to include much of GTC, and it has no DGM. When I have time, I'm going to remodel it.

What would be a good replacement for Crypt Ghost? His ability only activates when u tap a swamp, correct?

Ignore my comment. Didn't realize you updated your comments already...

Ah alright good well thats a little dissapointing, cause i was trying to make a aberition/mill deck and this was the best rated i could find.

@se7en44 Works when you tap a Watery Grave for blue mana, too.
@psdao1102 He will still be in it, no worries.

This is an amazing deck sir the only thing I would possibly suggest is 1 or 2 Rogue's Passage for the Consuming Aberration but that isn't necessarily needed. +1

What do you use Rapid Hybridization for? Also what do you think of Wight of Precinct Six ? Seems like a good early game card that can blow up especially against agro decks.
I'm excited to see how this deck does now with the upgrades. I really liked the previous version! Mind Sculpt is to good on turn 2.

Evil Twin in this deck seems weaker than Lazav, Dimir Mastermind ? Maybe im missing something though.

Depends on the situation I'd say Lazav generally is stronger but its very randomized what you get from milling and what he can transform into. Also being 2U2B can make it so he doesn't always come out as early as Evil Twin. Plus the Evil Twins secondary ability can be very useful. I find 4/5 times when i bring Lazav out nothing useful comes out of the mills but i would still have one of each.

I had a lot of trouble actually casting Lazav, Dimir Mastermind because of his very restrictive mana cost. I swapped him out for Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker .

Looks great! I think subbing Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker in for Lazav, Dimir Mastermind is a good idea.

what do you think of running a Tamiyo, the Moon Sage or two? maybe 1 tamiyo and 2 Jace, Memory Adept ? I like the draw and control she has AND, if she ultimates, just 1 spell can repeat over and over for crazy amounts of mill...
I saw a lot of Dimir Mill players run her so at my FNMs...

I would gladly include her (I love her abilities) if the meta at my store wasn't so aggro intensive. It's a lot of newer players and younger players, so they all just do crap like Naya Blitz and shit like that. I honestly don't even play this because as much fun as it is, there is no chance of winning the entirety of FNM. I use my deck, Mortal Kombat at FNM. This is my "kitchen table" and casual deck that I play around with.

Aye i think its worth replacing one of those Jace's with Tamiyo she can be brilliant.

Damn I was expecting Venser after I read the description for sure.

I'll be updating this deck soon due to the release of DGM. I'll send you a message when it's complete.
