I liked the idea of a mill deck, but also wanted to have some fancy creatures.

The deck has one main win condition: Mill until one of your creatures are strong enough to win the game. There are three creatures in the deck that get stronger the more cards there are in your opponent's graveyard: Wight of Precinct Six, Jace's Phantasm and Consuming Aberration. If they are strong enough, you can use Artful Dodge to use them to win the game.

Another win condition is the Duskmantle Guildmage + Mindcrank combination, but of course Duskmantle Guildmage also works on his own in combination with the main condition.

It might also be possible to win by milling alone, but I don't think that is very likely to happen.

There are not many cards to protect you from anything your opponent does, so you have to be fast to win, but just to help a bit there are Dimir Charm and Death's Approach .

The deck might get a bit more focused by replacing Chancellor of the Spires , Nihilith, Lazav, Dimir Mastermind and Nemesis of Reason, but I thought it is fun to have some variety.

I did not include more Glimpse the Unthinkable as the card is too expensive.
