This is a mill "Pauper" deck that I recently put together. I hope all enjoy. Ignore my sideboard, I just listed cards that I thought I'd like in the deck as I was putting it together.

No. I don't have MtGO. =/ That and I keep play-testing it against my other deck I made (http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/pauper-madness-wip/) and it can't beat it.

A few Pauper mill cards to consider:

> Drowner Initiate: {U} 1/1 that lets you pay {1} more for any blue spell to mill 2. Not an impressive mill, but it can be added to almost any card you play, and it's a Merfolk, which triggers Ink Dissolver.
> Dream Twist: {U} to mill 3 with a flashback of {1}{U}. A fair mill amount considering you get to cast it twice, which Drowner Initiate likes.
> Memory Sluice: {U/B} to mill 4. The bonus here is the Conspire effect, which works here as you have a decent number of creatures.
> Thought Scour: {U} to mill 2, but it is an instant that draws you a card.
> Shriekhorn: {1} artifact that enters with 3 charge counters and taps to mill 2 at the cost of removing a charge counter. That's {1} to mill a total of 6.

Other cards to consider:

> Ponder and Preordain: Both VERY good cantrips. There's a reason they're banned in Modern.
> Counterspell: The original counterspell.
> Quicksand: A lot of creatures in Pauper die to the -2 on this land. This was printed as a common in Worldwake.

- Drowner Initiate: Looked it up. I like it. I might use it. It goes for ANY blue spell! Amazing!
- Dream Twist: I left that card out, but you do make a fair point with the above named card.
- Memory Sluice: I was thinking about that one, but ultimately took it out.
- Thought Scour: Yeah, I left that one out, but I might add it in, because with Jace’s Erasure out, it essentially mills 3.
- Shriekhorn: Meh. Maybe. It takes a couple turns, but I’ll look into it.
- Ponder: I took Ponder out to put in Brainstorm, because I found during play-testing Brainstorm works better with Jace’s Erasure. (and it’s an instant)
- Counterspell: Might be good. I do like Arcane Denial though because I get a draw card (Making them mill with Jace’s Erasue) and they essentially “Mill two” more.
- Quicksand: I’ll look into this…

Update: I took out Sage's Row Denizen and replaced it with Drowner Initiate.
