Deck Description

NOTE: Just edited the deck to make it standard, taking out things like my mind grind's and increasing confusion's, it naturally weakened the deck a bit, so any ideas on how to make it stronger standard wise would be very appreciated.

this deck has a lot of synergy, and with things that work together like Phenax/Aberration the possibility is there to mill almost an entire deck with just these out but it doesnt seem to happen. maybe its due to the type of deck ive been facing but i know the deck could use some work. the only deck ive really been able to test against is a tournament deck one of my friends bought of of someone that uses the sun/frost titans and a crapload of detain/exile, annoying as hell to play against.

combos ive thought of:
[[phenax, god of deception + consuming aberration]]
Any unblockable + Any cipher
[[consuming aberration + mind funeral]] or B&E, any multiple of low cost mill spells.
[[consuming aberration]] + reactivating any cipher cards
[[duskmantle guildmage + jace, memory adept]], [[duskmantle guildmage + breaking // entering]], pretty much Duskmantle + any mill card.

Cards im thinking of:
mirko vosk, mind drinker - thinking of replacing 2 balustrade spy's with these if i can get them, but hesitent as it is a legendary. while i can play multiple balustrade's i can only have one of him out..... not to mention that would leave just the lone balustrade spy in the deck, is it worth keeping it in there as a single? idk.

How to Play

the basis is pretty simple for this one. Use jace for his free 10 card mill, call of the nightwing, mindeye drake and balustrade spy are there to deal with fliers (along with balustrades/mindeyes mill effect ofc). deathcult rogue is used to get in hits with cipher cards on them like paranoid delusions/CotN, mortus strider is a repeatable chump blocker, and whispering madness can be used to refill my hand wight of precinct 6 is used primarily as a beatstick once the discard pile starts adding up, phenax and consuming aberation have good synergy, aberation gets big off the graveyard, then phenax can let him tap and double there discard pile. duskmantle guildmage can let me do a bit of damage to them when they have to discard but i havnt found him particularly useful without mindcrank though.

grisly spectacle and deaths approach are creature control, midnight recovery is my way to get creatures back from the grave with cipher, but hasnt been used much im thinking about taking it out. B&E is a "glimpse" for 2$ and only mills 2 less cards
