This deck needs ways of exiling an opponent's graveyard or you'll never successfully mill anybody in this format, as almost everyone runs some graveyard recycle (mostly the Eldrazi Titans). I suggest Leyline of the Void , Relic of Progenitus and card:Tormod's Crypt.

added in Celestial Dawn to go along with Sen Triplets . Now I can target anyone at the table and possibly get some good use from them, no matter what color they play!

What about Mycosynth Lattice for consistency?

I do have another Lattice available, and will be trying out Relic of Progenitus and Leyline of the Void later this week. I threw in Celestial Dawn so I can play things from anyones hand with my general, but it will also help with consistency.

I also made a few swaps, added in Undercity Plague and Nephalia Drownyard for additional mill/damage, as well as a couple others

mikeyj,

I love the deck idea (+1) I have been toying with a similar idea of unblockables especially after the new cipher mechanic was released I was considering a rogue theme though.

MagicBlake Rogues might work better as a theme of creatures to use. I initially was going to use Clerics and make it more "churchy" but there just weren't enough clerics that would do the kinds of things I wanted, so I had to branch out.

Perhaps a Rogue themed deck would provide a little extra oomph, I'll start taking a look at some of the options

Hey, decent build. So you want to build an Esper Midrange/Aggro deck? Hm... I'll give some suggestions as to what cards you could take out that seem to be adding to much strain to your main theme.

Smite - You can totally replace with Condemn or Swords to Plowshares . I don't think smite is that great, since it has to be a blocked creature, and in EDH blocking doesn't really happen.

Psychic Spiral and Mnemonic Nexus are essentially the same thing right? You could probably do without the the spiral, since it's kind of not that great.

I was just looking again, why do you have so much bring graveyard back to deck cards? Those could end up being dead cards and entirely useless if somebody has a single graveyard hate card (which isn't rare). Also, if it's early game and you draw into those, they are just sitting there not doing anything. I think they are extremely situational, and you don't need that many in your deck. Maybe one is good enough.

Just some tips from a 2nd perspective :D Let me know what you think dude.

Smite is getting taken out. It was mostly a filler that never got replaced anyway :p

Psychic Spiral is there to help with the mill. After I've filled up my graveyard, I can use Psychic Spiral to not only put things back into my library at instant speed, but it makes someone bleed cards out of their library... Which then plays double duty if I have Leyline of the Void or Tormod's Crypt ready to go

I agree that some of my sorceries are unnecessary. Several of the ciphers are probably going to go away, as keeping creatures around long enough to make use of them is difficult at best, and I'm considering taking some of the creatures that have to hit to use their abilities out. Selhoff Occultist and the like are probably going to stay because of their static abilities, but Thrull Parasite , Dimir Cutpurse , and Nightveil Specter don't seem to be pulling their weight. Even Lord of the Void seems to be a bit of a slacker in this deck, because I don't have any real way to ensure he gets through

throw in a Pontiff of Blight that way when you ciphered spells trigger, you can sap your opponent's life
