I'm not sure what to sideboard. The object is to control and mill out a lot of spells to charge up {Runechanter's Pike}. Help?

First off change the type to blue green and add a bunch of creatures that get stronger with each creature in your graveyard and add that one card that makes it that you win when you draw nothing

Thanks for the erm.. Help? It says mono blue in the thread title and I mean to keep it that way. It's not supposed to mill out my deck completely, just enough for a strong pike on a delver. That's all. I feel that you went from constructive criticism to changing the idea completely. I don't
Want to add green. :P thank you though.

What is the point of self milling here?

It gets spells into your graveyard quickly enough for 'chanter's pike to be useful. Thought scour (which I just realized I never put in) can get three spells into the graveyard itself. And it doesn't HAVE to be self-mill. I could mill you too. It's a fast approach to pikeing your already fast Delver and swinging for oh, say 10 flying (if you're lucky, it's usually a bit lower) on turn four.

I just noticed the pike. Thanks it makes more sense now

Dude. {Thought Scour} and {Invisible Stalker}. Gotta have someone else to carry the pike. Nobody holds a weapon better than our friend the Stalker.
