Deck Description

This deck aims to control your opponent through three strategies:
1) Hand Control (Despise, Blackmail, Stupor, +Shrieking Affliction)
2) Library Control (Dream Twist, Mind Sculpt, Jace)
3) Board Control (Go for the Throat, Barter in Blood, Mana Leak, Cancel)

This deck is Modern format legal and I welcome suggestions.

How to Play

Sideboard is meant to customize the deck to what your opponent is playing. If he's shuffling his graveyard into his library, less mill and more discard. Lots of card draw? Less discard, more mill. More of both if he is also creature-less. Damping Matrix for artifact-based decks. Echoing Truth vs. counters.

Deck discussion for Modern BU Control

You need to focus on a single strategy for killing your opponet. The control aspect is good and the cards you've chosen are good quality. However, I'd drop the mill cards for creatures that could help you control the board better. A good mill deck should be able to deck an opponet by turn six... at least 50% of the time. You don't have the resources to do this and make use of damage your four shrieking afflictions are causing (best case senario). If your using damage to kill, then think about megrim or other discard creatures that can ensure your opponet doesn't draw out of the range of the enchantment. If you thinking about going with decking an opponet you should consider using traumatize or glimpse of the unthinkable. Goodluck!!
