no jace beleren? the deck lost plenty of howling mine effects, but it didn't lose him. you could easily remove prophetic prisms from the deck to run a third bolt and 3 jaces.

it's awfully expensive, and not quite fast enough for a deck that should be winning turns 5-6
the deck is indeed for standard, if it weren't, it wouldn't be GU, it would be UW. and yes, the deck is very slow, thats why it runs the 4 fogs, 3 tanglesaps, and the into the roils (so i can slow my opponent down enough to stay alive to mill them. also i have the growth spasm token as a blocker, as well as the khalni garden tokens for chump blockers, to fend off those nasty wurmcoil engines.
i thought about running proliferate stuff for a long time, but it just doesn't affect enough stuff, only 7 cards would recieve the benefits of proliferate.
way too many cards that have nothing to do with milling? you mean the cards that have to do with staying alive? (also known as fogging)
At first i was going to run 3 venser, but its a card that the deck really orbits around, and i want to draw it every game, i wouldn't mind having one in play and one in hand, just so that if one dies i have a replacement and i can keep abusing. I was thinking about journey to nowhere for a long time, but decided not to run it simply because it costs more than oust and condemn and can be destroyed. I was going to run frost titan as a 1 of, but i didn't have enough space. Thanks for the comment though, bro, i'll check out some of your decks.
unfocused? its entirely based upon mill.
vein drinker is pretty much unplayable, i recommend you cut that out of the deck, and play the vastly more powerful sarkhan the mad.
ummmm..... i hope you're trolling. i dont really need attack with creatures, because 18 of my lands can attack. also oracle of mul daya, explore, treasure hunt, and expedition map allow me to get through, and play all of these lands very quickly and easily, so i can attack with them.
crucible of worlds isn't T2 legal. Reliquary tower is a possibility as it is a land, although most of the time i dump everything in my hand except for a day of judgment and a mana leak.
Krark clan ironworks anyone? shrapnel blast? if you include these cards the deck could potentially be much faster, also it gives you ways to abuse those myr retrievers.
i have a terrible addiction to combo decks, and this has an immense potential, i'll be brainstorming ideas for this deck for a good while. Thoughtcast anyone?
There isn't quite enough space for the mystic, the deck is currently all power, and doesn't seem to need the mystics (although they are fantastic!) Sejiri steppe on the other hand is definitely going in, as at least a one of.
