I would highly suggest Splashing white as well, especially with the prerelease for Rtr is in two days...

I'm quite guildless, actually.  And again, I'm intent on keeping this monoblue, that's the only thing I'm not putting up for suggestion.  I'm not going to the prerelease, personally.

Just fixed this up a lot in deck builder, but I'm too lazy to fix it here...

All you have to do is click the gathering button underneath The deck in deck builder, and it updates it here

Just an observation from readin all these posts, u keep asking for recommendations and suggestions but whenever people give you good ones, you just come up with a reason why not to do it or why ur way is better. Uve only been playing for 3 months, like u said, and most people here have tons of experience

Have you tried {undead alchemist} yet?

I'm actually listening quite a bit, but I have a problem with too many one-mana spells.  I'll update this and you'll see, I took some reccomendations.  I just don't listen to people telling me to splash other colors, because I really want to keep this deck monoblue.

I've looked at it, but never seriously considered it.  It might solve my too-many-one-mana-cards problem... I'll see if I see one, but I won't put on top of my trading priority.

You don't run enough creatures, well you shouldn't anyways, this isn't an aggro deck and you shouldn't be trying to kill

The sideboard was 4 {Tormod's Crypt}s and 2 {Talrand's Invocation}s.  I just found out today though that sideboards must have 15 cards, and I only own 1 Crypt so I just decided to forget it.  {Increasing Confusion} is one of those "Great in Limited, terrible in Constructed" cards, which I will again have you compare to {Mind Sculpt}, despite its nice flashback.  Also on the topic of flashback, I may or may not add {Psychic Spiral} in come RtR, and if I do flashback won't be very good.  I think what I really need is more deck control; more specifically, another {Index}.  Not really sure though.
You bash {Increasing confusion} yet play {Sands of delirium}..

Sands of delirium is way better than increasing confusion

You use confusion twice? Cool,
Glad you milled 8 cards

Sands allows mana dumping and better
Control, he may be in board control, just played a sleep and have 3/4 extra mana? Dump it into delirium, opponent can't attack next turn anyways

Exactly my thoughts.  Maybe I will add a {Sleep}, but I'm not sure how to balance my negation spells, there's a pretty mediocre land balance right now.

Seriously, I love this guy. In my milling deck {undead alchemist} or multiples! Just demoralizes creature heavy decks. Maybe people don't actually read what he does when they disregard him so quickly, but seriously, him, a little evasion (if needed) and a bunch of good milling spells, just builds your zombie horde so quickly it's rediculious.
Of course, against decks with little or no creatures, he's not as effective, but then again, you don't need a horde to mill for you and get past blockers, (or fend off nasty creatures) you can just swing unblocked :) (sb out those useless evasion cards for some more mill spells/counter spells/draws/whatever)
Also works insanely well with mind crusher :)
