Help me come up with a good Mind Rot combo that can be used in a U/B combo/control deck I would like to build. Must be standard.

Well maybe an obvious choice of flashbacking it via Snapcaster Mage . Perhaps Monomania , Visions of Beyond would possibly enable you to draw 3. I wish card:Liliana's Caress was still standard coz I would say that lol

Mind Rot just isn't strong enough as a card, especially in this format, to really combo out. A similar strategy might be to play Shrine of Limitless Power and a number of low cmc spells, like Despise or Distress or Vault Skirge , Typhoid Rats , Diregraf Ghoul , and removal spells. Discard just ain't what it used to be, especially since Duress and Inquisition of Kozilek are gone :((((

I frequently play mill decks, but need a good idea for a U/B combo/control deck. Where should I start, since Mind Rot sounds like a dead end.

You can mill your opponent by drawing cards... card:Jace's Erasure Curse of the Bloody Tome Trepanation Blade and Sword of Body and Mind are good mill cards. Jace, Memory Adept naturally mills lol Decimator Web does a lil of it all

That's pretty much what another deck of mine is like deck:passing-thought. I don't really know what I want, but I was looking for something different.

My friend runs a Zombie-tribal mill that uses Undead Alchemist , along with cards like Curse of the Bloody Tome (which is REALLY good, actually), Jace, Memory Adept , and Nephalia Drownyard . He made Top 8 last night out of about 25 players.
