Whispersilk cloak is uncommon. Other than that this deck looks pretty interesting. I always liked Faeries and Ninjas and never thought to put them together.

For even better protection with the Palisade Giant, try running a few Ghostly Possessions. That way any damage dealt during combat is dealt to the Giant, but prevented.

EDIT -- Didn't see Deadeye Navigator in there. This is well-constructed indeed.

Nameless One, if you can fit it into the budget.

I like the idea of this deck series. I've noticed what you're talking about with Magic becoming repetitive. Seeing the same decks over and over gets old fast, so I think I'll introduce the concept to my circle.

I like your style. I think I'll start using the tag "Kitchen Table" as an indicator of a just-for-fun casual deck.

Squirrels don't quite double that way, but you do get another one.

When I looked at this deck and realized its power, I was assaulted with a vision of terror: My control spells and defensive enchantments are torn asunder and the padding of tiny, clawed feet reaches my ears as thousands of squirrels descend upon my unprotected neck.

Really, though, fascinating deck. I never thought much about squirrels.

If Exquisite Blood is a pivotal part of your combo, why only run one?

I wouldn't run Duskmantle Seer in this deck. You have a high number of relatively high CMC cards. Having that out would probably get you killed pretty quick. That being said this looks like a very interesting deck. I like the flavor.

I can agree with drumhead on this one. There should be a differentiation between "casual", where you build broken decks to build broken decks, and "casual fun" where you build a deck that would actually be fun to play and play against.

I don't know why, but this is extremely entertaining.

Also, say you're playing Planechase and you happen to get stuck on Goldmeadow...

Venser's Journal would be pretty good for this deck. Unlimited hand size and you gain life equal to the number of cards in your hand.

Take out two of the Memory Erosions for two Curse of the Bloody Tome. It's a little more consistent since it happens each of the player's upkeeps. Other than that, looks pretty good for a mono-blue. Move quickly enough with it and you might just kill the opponent instead of milling them.

For extra aggro fun, try Nemesis of Reason.

Talrand is an unusual addition to a mill deck, but I like what he does here. I'd replace at least two of the Phantasms with Sage's Row Denizen to capitalize on your frequent creature-ing. The phantasms aren't wonderful late-game unless you happen to have two or three of them, and you should have plenty of flying things to attack with anyway.
Actually, that gives me an idea. I think I'll make a Talrand-Cipher-Denizen deck and see what it does.
Anyway, good deck, solid curve. It's an uncommon but good take on Mill, especially in the current Standard, which is too fast for normal Mill.

EDIT: Made the thing. Have a look, let me know what you think. It's kind of slapdash right now, needs playtesting.

Indeed. With this kind of mana curve I wouldn't go fewer than 25 lands that reliably produce the mana you need.

Add Leyline of Anticipation and you have an extremely brutal, instant-speed blue angry-fest.

Ah, so much abuse to be had from Illusionist's Bracers. This is one of the more interesting combos with it that I've seen. Gotta ask though, why Seat of the Synod?

Seems a little inconsistent but I like the feel. Your Creature-to-Spell ratio is very much in favor of Spell. I would suggest adding 4 Ichorclaw Myr in place of the 2 Vines of Vastwood, a Harrow, and a Groundswell.

Sensei's Divining Top costs 1 mana to play. With Etherium Sculptor it becomes 0 to play. The ability that lets it draw is a tap effect, not a mana cost.

I always did love the Kamigawa flavor and this looks like an interesting take on Spirits. Have you considered Spectral Procession?
