Deck Description

Updated July 26, 2011. Solo-tested Extended deck. Mill, Discard, and Control. Ideas to possibly speed up, streamline, or improve the deck in any way are welcome. I can occasionally get a kill or lockdown in turn 4.

Scenario 1.
Turn 1: Swamp. Bloodchief Ascension.

Turn 2: Island. Mindcrank.

Turn 3: Swamp. Maralen of the Mornsong. They take 3 damage on their turn which puts a counter on Bloodchief Ascension.

Turn 4: Island. Throne of Geth. Sign in Blood. They take 2 damage which puts a second counter on Bloodchief Ascension. Tap and sacrifice Throne of Geth adding the third counter to Bloodchief Ascension.
Then they take 3 damage on their turn which activates the Mindcrank, Bloodchief Ascension combo.

Scenario 2.
Turn 1: Halimar Depths

Turn 2: Swamp, Liliana's Caress

Turn 3: Island, Jace's Archivist

Turn 4: Swamp
Sign in Blood they take 2 damage and they draw 2 cards. Activate Jace's Archivist which deals them 2 damage for each card they discarded. Play Vault Skyward on Jace's Archivist and then activate his ability again which should kill them or at least get them fairly close. If I happen to draw another Vault Skyward I could kill them for sure.

Scenario 3.
Turn 1: Swamp, Quest for the Nihil Stone

Turn 2: Swamp, Distress add 1 counter to Quest for the Nihil Stone.

Turn 3: Island, Maralen of the Mornsong

Turn 4: Island, Mindlock Orb and we are in lockdown. Only able to play the cards that we have in our hands. Hopefully I have Jace's Archivist so I can make them discard their hand which will add another counter to Quest for the Nihil Stone and then kill them with Quest for the Nihil Stone and Maralen of the Mornsong as we pass our turns.

Combos:
Bloodchief Ascension + Mindcrank = Death
Maralen of the Mornsong + Jace's Archivist = No draw, just discard.
Maralen of the Mornsong + Mindlock Orb = Lock down.

Reasons for cards:
Mana Leak = Delay opponent's deck
Sign in Blood = Card advantage or deal 2 damage
Smallpox = Delay opponent's deck
Liliana Vess = Discard, Tutor, or possible late game bomb
Sangromancer = Life gain or swinging with a flyer if needed.
Haunting Echoes = Library destruction
Unsummon = Delay opponent's deck or save my creatures.
Vault Skyward = Untapping Jace's Archivist or swinging with a flyer if needed.

Deck discussion for Anterograde Amnesia

This deck follows some of the same things mine does.
Looks good I like the lock down in it, never thought of using it in a deck like this nice job.
