Deck discussion for Darkness Falls V2

This is highly experimental, so I'll add some experimental stuff.
Simian spirit guide and nykthos can provide red mana, so splash in some red/black lands as well and you can make the deck R/B, which allows for several things. (Pyroclasm)

Fulminator mage is wellknown for it's use against tron, so try it out alongside ghostquarter for more landdestruction.

Your main problem will be generating lots of mana and creatures for your balustrade/undercity theme, so consider adding the final 2 nykthos with that in mind, and also consider æthervial.

Forgot about vial. Just a thought... Instead of red, why not add green for naturalize, abrupt decay etc. Would still be able to play Mage, although I'd lose out on dreadbore and slaughter games (unless the deck became jund), but the trade off might be worth it. Thoughts?

You'd also gain ancient stirrings for the bridge. Green also has a lot of "selfmill" and selfmill creatures like ghoultree and gurmag angler.

Here's my take on a mill deck with ensnaring bridge:

I'm trying to establish a forum for fully competitive millers, and you are within the category.
If you know of others worthy of such a forum, give me their name and I'll list them as possible members.
First attempt at a layout is here:

None of my friends are really competitive. In fact they won't play against certain decks that I own or have proxied...
http://www.mtgvault.com/shadowblade1824/ hit me with a mill deck the other day similar to, but not as consistant as my mono blue mill. I have a friend who just got back into magic and he's big on walls and wincons other than just attacking. I might introduce him to mill. He has an account on here although I am unaware of his username.

I was thinking of known names within the vault, but if you can get your friend competitive enough to win, no problem.

Two of you responded to my request thinking of outside millers, which shows to me that millers in here are not particularly aware of each others, which is an enormous shame since the more competitive of us could pool our experiences together on each known type of milldeck, raising each a bit more towards bringing mill into being more than a fringe winner!

I've invited around 7-8 people initially which have all proven to be competitive, but there may be a lot of others whom havent been more obvious in showing of as competitive millers, which is why I'm trying to create the forum.

I'll see what I can do, my work schedule is going to make it difficult. However, I'll be able to get the rest of the cards so it won't be proxied. I noticed that funk wasn't on the list, figured he'd be close to the top.

Funkblasterson is a covername for his real handle, so he's hard to contact, but I'll give him a nodge in the other forum :D

Your darkness falls deck is rather unique, I could link it in the new millforum so our competitiors might give you some alternatives. Then again, they might also steal it??!!

It's the same concept for manaless dredge applied in a different form. I'm not sure they could really steal it... I guess it'd be ok to link it. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
