---

The goal here is to mill the opponent (as the title describes), but keep their capabilities in check until this is accomplished. To do so, there are a few counter spells ( Psychic Strike (which also mills), Logic Knot ) and there's some cheap removal ( Disfigure , Death Wind ). There are creatures present to both enhance mill capabilities, and to overpower possible threats (hence Delver of Secrets  , Null Champion , because yeah, they don't make as much sense otherwise).

The true key players here are probably Paranoid Delusions for Cipher (preferably on Shriekgeist ), Mind Sculpt and Tome Scour , Curse of the Bloody Tome , and Drowner Initiate .

Drowner Initiate makes for a particularly lethal card in here, since over half the deck (31 cards) are blue spells. In other words, there's just enough blue for one Drowner Initiate and the total milling of an opponent's deck just with the blue spells, and that's excluding the mill effects many of them have anyway.

Considering subbing in some Jace's Erasure , maybe more counter spells if I can keep the mill clock at a fast pace, but I took some out from the initial deck based on speed issues. It's all about having the right cards, as always.
