I have struggled coming up with a great strategy to do three things I am desiring in a deck currently. One is have a viable mill deck in standard Two have a deck that holds against delver Three have a deck that is stable in control Finally I have been able to combine all things together for something that is in my opinion the best home brew I have made. I don't know if others have thought of it before but I didn't look over anyone else's deck lists or anything. I have been playing this final version for 3 weeks now and each time I have made tops which hasn't occurred since I decided to venture to other decks since Tempered Steel about 3 months ago. In three tournaments I have gotten. 5th, 4th, and 1st respectively. Win percentage against delver is actually around 65%, win percentage with this deck is in the 80% range.

Love the idea! Venser lock then win with Mill as the primary strategy, gideon and angels secondary.

Favorite start off is turn one thought scour surgical, turn two mind sculpt, turn three snapcaster surgical. It completely crushes decks like that. I appreciate your comment I been working on this idea for months because its a combo in my Commander deck, so I wanted a deck that held in standard but this did it and did it well. Record 4-1 (5th) (only loss was to black-red zombies I didn't top deck board wipe, then lost to Naya-pod in top) 4-0 (4th) (lost to b/w delver in tops) 5-0 (1st) (had perfect games all around)
So I loaded up this deck on Cockatrice is this is my complaint with this deck: Against aggro decks, more times than not, this deck gets overrun before it even has a chance to shine. Too many a time I get mana screwed or mana flooded, and it's not particularly better when your opening hand is filled with nothing but I casting cards, and only one or two mana. Like I said however, there were a few times that I was able to pull off that Venser combo, and it was so much fun; at that point my opponent was locked down. I don't know how this could be improved, and I am not bad mouthing this build at all, I am only stating my experience of playing this.
Odd....I haven't played it on cockatrice really don't enjoy running decks on cockatrice cause the drawing and everything is a little underwhelming but in all pure aggro decks which there is few of most aggro now is really tempo. But yea in aggro it crushes this pure aggro tempo it does well. In real life I have and use so much draw I have only been mana screwed once. But I ended up winning the set.
