Swapped Circu for Murko recently.  But this average CMC is high but that's why I run the {dark rituals} and it is casual so...  Also don't run expensive fetch lands cuz again it's casual.

But I always found with true mill decks I would get people to about 3 cards left and then I'd die so I made this a hybrid deck that uses more creatures instead of trying to do creature control and mill at the same time.

This deck seems dirty dude! With the mill being more of a way to make huge doods have you considered {Wight of Precinct Six} or {Consuming Aberration}?

No because I have not looked 100% at the new sets since about Avacyn is when I went on hiatus.  But those look promising.

Give  {Duskmantle Guildmage} and  {Mindcrank} a look at as well. Duskmantle alone had won me so many games.

[Subster]

Oh my! Mind crank is sick! Dusk mantle + mindcrank = win

[cltrn81]

Yea {crumbling sanctuary} is more costly than {mind crank} but it helps you stay alive as well.

but you want to also benifit from the mill as well. Anyway you go it is fine, it's just I look to mill them out, and deal damage, while I get two 36/36  {Consuming Aberration} out for defenders. Keep me safe, while I do dirty work.

Any thought towards {Bloodcheif Ascention}?

This deck does not guarantee consistent life loss so it would be hard to get the counters on ascension.  There are some times I get out an early jace's phantasm and beat face but those games end early if they can't answer the 5/5 flyer.

If you can recommend what to take out and sell me on ascension then I'm all ears.

[Mattacheu]

Another question then. Do you use this deck for multiplayer? Or just 1v1s? Cause a {boon of erebos} on a crab would be annoying, and still lead into the bloodcheif counters.

[cltrn81]

Not sold on the boon just to add ascension counters.  Then you are taking more cards from the deck as well.

I play this 1v1.  I played against a standard mojo green devotion on Saturday draft just for funzies and I milled him out.

His {courser of kruphix} allowed me to decide if I wanted to sac a land to trigger the crab for mill or not and let him draw a crappy card.  The about mid game I cast {entering} on his {hornet queen} in his GY.  It was pretty much in the bag after that.

[Mattacheu]

Alright. It seems like you have a pretty solid deck here, I shall shut mah mouth after mentioning {mind funeral} of course. Amazing 1v1 mill spell. I'm done now XD

I do appreciate the feedback.  I do not mean to sound push-offish.  (Yes I just invented that word 😜).  I did have funeral and {glimpse the unthinkable} in here but I traded em.
