Deck discussion for Cryptic mill

So you went and discovered cipher :)
The obvious strategy will be to protect the creatures and the ciphers,
Less obvious you could focus on creatures that Grant's a bonus when copies get cast. So any creatures that responds to spells being cast are obvious.

Third, your creatures need to be or become evasive.

The go to is invisible stalker, because hexproof, and I have played against cipher for years, as it's my friends most competitive deck, but this is my version

Ah, I see the unblockables now ;)
Paranoid delusions is the only creature mill card that have ever made me want to design a mill-creature deck.
With many new mill creatures these days I'm rethinking that card. The beauty is in how the card spreads from creature to creature. I wonder how a cipher/token deck might look. Isn't there a red card that produces tokens everytime a spell is cast?

There are certainly blue ones, and that's why aberration is there, but I want to add mirror wing dragon so that I can put hidden strings/stolen identity on everything

Wow, that's a lot of spells.
There's a red lizard costing R, that prevents you from dying of library death, so you could focus on whispering madness.

It's not a problem, because they draw at the same rate+ all of the rest I'm milling them, and familiar isn't modern legal

Also if I made a mill deck with any possibility of milling myself before them it would be either self mill or a failure

Have you seen the new dredge selfmill by ookita akito from japan ?
Third place out of 50.

It's a pretty interesting idea, but I think it would take practice to know when to selfmill and when to go for the opponent.
Infect would rip it appart though.

I have not, but the more win conditions you can support the better

It's been copycatted already. 4th place out of minimum 9. (Unknown amount of players)
It's mainly dredge, but I guess it will be nice against combo too.
It's problem will be when the meta returns to main board relic of progenitus again.

I also expect to see someone include stream of thought into it, as it's perfect for the deck.

I've put up the deck without the mana. It has a lot of fetchlands and duals so it's vulnerable to the moon.
