I'm not sure if you're going for a budget, but Hedron Crab is a million times better with fetch lands and Ghost Quarter (to hit your own lands).

Jace's Erasure is a lot better if you're going for more of a control style. Your deck seems to be closer to aggro-mill. I'd try to fit more Visions of Beyond . It's basically Ancestral Recall past turn three or four.

Also, you may be better off using Echoing Truth instead of Cyclonic Rift

FangDude, I am trying to keep the deck cost as low as possible and under $75. Thank you for the suggestions! The main reason I had Jace's Erasure in is because of Jace, Memory Adept 's -7 ability. Make myself and an opponent draw 20 cards, and then make them mill 20 for what is usually a win. Based on your suggestions, I'll take out Jace's Erasure and put in more Visions of Beyond . The reason I have Cyclonic Rift in is because I am often swamped with many creatures I can't remove easily, i.e. hexproof, indestructable. Read the update log for the changes I will make. Thanks for the feedback!

It's beeter to use Jace for his 0 ability to mill 10 and for 4 turn you will have milled the oponent for 40 with out haveing to mill yourself for 20 with that combo of yours :) / So about you deck I recomend trading out the 3x Dream Fracture for 2x Dissipate (exile) and 1 more Psychic Strike and just get rid of the Ghost Quarter cause it just slowes your tempo and your mana drops cause the true is that with a mill deck you want to mill as fast as posible before they can get anything big out there for which you don't have a removal so you ned every sigle mana drop you could take out 2 of the Tome Scour and put in 2 more Jace, Memory Adept which is a realy good mill and maybe run 1 Traumatize (not sure if it's a good idea) and run 1 more Nemesis of REASON in your mainbord also check out this cards for your deck Far / Away Dimir Charm Breaking / Entering Mind Grind Opportunity +1 from me good luck with your deck and don't forget to take a look at mine mill control

Flattered by the citation! But yeah, I'll definitely be checking back here regularly to see how your deck's doing. +1 from me

gugnir, thanks for the ideas! I'll replace 2 Ghost Quarter with 2 Swamp , because I am often short of black mana when I play. I'll also put Dimir Charm onto the sideboard, switching it for Tragic Slip and the sideboarded Psychic Strike , which I'll mainboard. I'll take 2 Dream Fracture s out, keep 1, and put in 1 Dissipate and the aforementioned Psychic Strike . What do you suggest I take out for the others?

Land

Well for starters why don't you replace the 4 Ghost Quarter with 4 Watery Grave ? Also why don't you run 4 Nephalia Drownyard (it is a realy good mill that can't be countered!) instead of 2 Island and 2 Swamp ? (I personally think that 20 lands is not enough for this deck(I mean even 3 mana cost focused burn decks fun 22) so you should run at least 23 / best if you run 24/ )(4 Watery Grave , 4 Nephalia Drownyard , 4 Drowned Catacomb , 6 Island and 4 Swamp at least)

22

Instant

Play to 2 Dissipate istead of 1 Dissipate and 1 Dream Fracture cause you have enough card drows / play 1 more Psychic Strike , 1 more Cyclonic Rift and 1 more Thought Scour take out the 3 Echoing Truth from the main and put 2 of them in the side(take out 1 Surgical Extraction and 1Mind Sculpt from the side / in cause they are playing tokens /) (2 Cyclonic Rift 2 Dissipate 3 Psychic Strike 3 Thought Scour 3 Visions of Beyond 2 Far / Away 2 Tragic Slip )

17

Creature

Play 4 Jace's Phantasm (presure) 4 Hedron Crab (early/mid game mill) 2 Consuming Aberration (win con and presure 2 is plenty) 1 Nemesis of Reason (presure and mill) and 1 Lazav, Dimir Mastermind /get rid of the 3 Fog Bank (to defensive for this deck)/

12

Planeswalker

Play 3 Jace, Memory Adept (just great mill like Nemesis of Reason but better )

3

Sorcery

3 Mind Funeral

3 Tome Scour

(space for the lands)

6

+1 from me

maybe take out 2 Hedron Crab and put in 1 more Tome Scour and 1 more Mind Funeral

Not sure if the Tragic Slip will work for this deck but give it a shot if not put back Tome Scour and Mind Funeral

gugnir, I used to have 4x Watery Grave in but then I took it out because it's $9, making 4 of them cost almost as much as the entire deck. I'll take out the Dream Fracture for another Dissipate , 3 Echoing Truth and put in another Cyclonic Rift and another Psychic Strike , put 2 Echoing Truth into the sideboard and take out the Psychic Strike and 1 Thought Scour , and take out the 2 Ghost Quarter and put in 2 Swamp . I'll also put in 1 Jace's Phantasm and take 1 Fog Bank . I like using Fog Bank as air defense and it often saves me with having to deal with big creatures. I don't like Nephalia Drownyard that much because of the high mill cost, there are a lot better things I can do with 3 mana (i.e. Mind Funeral , Dissipate ), and because there isn't a lot of creature destruction, I won't put in Tragic Slip .
