Notes:
Don't have all the cards yet, and I suck at building sideboards.

Olaf Iverstone

Advice on what to change would be helpful, tho please try to keep it on a low budget.

If you can get your hands on  {Invisible Stalker} instead of your  {Deathcult Rogue} for ciphering onto. And look at  {Jace, Memory Adept} for milling, great when paired with  {Duskmantle Guildmage}

Drgnwr1

And you need ways to give yourself a draw advantage to get to those good cards faster.   {Last Thoughts} for one with cipher,  {Thought Scour} for one with a mill, or  {Think Twice} for one with a flashback.

Olaf Iverstone

Ya, I know I need jace, but his price has increased by a few bucks, I'll find a way to get him, 1 or 2 ya think?

Bloodguilt

You need more land otherwise you will be doing a lot of mulligans. I suggest 22-24

Bloodguilt

Also {whispering madness} can get through your deck quickly while destroying your opponent's and add {psychic spiral} for some serious damage mid to late game. The two cards together can be devastating. It's an idea I've been working on.

Psychic spiral seems kind of pointless, it doesn't mill any extra cards

Oh right I am so glad mill decks do not play spirals... I play it on side in my Bant control and I quite often enjoy the moments of milling mill decks...:D  {Psychic Spiral} is epic sideboard card against mill decks...:D killing by their own weapon...:D

It's a combo with {whispering madness}. Play {whispering madness} discard cards and get a new hand cipher onto an unblockable. Attack with unblockable use cipher and get a new hand and when you pull {psychic spiral} you get to mill them for everything in your graveyard. Just a suggestion though, it is slow.

Olaf Iverstone

I read what it does wrong, I thought they shuffled their graveyard into their deck then milled that many cards. Also, I put in 4 thought scours for 1 midnight recovery, 1 mortus strider, 1 killing wave, and 1 shadow slice

Why not  {Increasing Confusion}?

MOAR LANDS!!!! Also, have you considered {havengul lich}?

Midnight recovery seems like the same thing, except 1 less mana and can only be used when it hits an opponent, ok, I guess I could see where he would be useful, but he just seems like he cost to much

I've got a copy of that somewhere, if I can find it I might consider putting it in. Also, to the people who say more lands, what should I remove for those more lands?
