Deck Description

My inspiration was an opponent's original mill deck turn into an basic Duskmantle pain deck..So I went the opposite way..

How to Play

First option:

Take any damage on the chin, Maze or block with the Dragon or Mindcrusher while building his semi-ultimate with conjurer's closet, cauldron of souls and an Altar. This will hurt pretty bad already.
If not countered or stifled, Mindcrusher enters the BF > -5 cards.
Sac through Altar > -5 cards
Undying +1/+1 kicks in enters BF again > -5 cards
Give persist and sac through altar again > -5 cards
Return to play with -1/-1 > -5 cards
Exile through Closet and return > -5 cards
Counters gone, sac through altar again > -5 cards
Undying +1/+1 again > -5 cards

Ok your turn ;)

Just this one bit in your End step mills 40 cards..
For the ultimate in pain get the Hex Parasite in there and remove the Undying counter with either mana or life.. Either way your opponent's deck is Gone!!
Say you've been knocked to 10 life, you can still pay 8 life to remove 4 counters.
Which is another 40 cards minimum.
This is possible on turn 4,5,6..depending on acceleration artifacts.

Second but not as stable option is:
Obtain the Library of Leng and the Archivist, and keep discarding most of your hand and draw the max an opponent discards. I'm still searching for a 0-way to untap the archivist in my turn...But if you milled yourself for half your library or more, great, now use the Psychic Spiral to shuffle your stuff back while the other mills his away.

I think I found a few solutions but so far this is the best, Mind over Matter.
Discard a card untap something..As long as you have mana for the Archivist you'll probably mill 40 cards too however you run the risk of the archivist being removed since the opponent can draw a solution..So keep the counter spells handy.

Last sideboard option was 4 Fealty's in combination with sanity grinding..Just top the most mana heavy cards with Soothsaying and with just 4 Fealty's mill 20 cards minimum.

There are some blue/black oriented cards in here as possible defense or offense.
If you drop the Kormus bell while an Urborg, Tomb is in play, Cyclonic Rift will end it too. While Reins of power and an Altar provide protection as well..

Some cards do not need an explanation ;)
