Deck Description

This deck was inspired by the idea of having a deck that no one wants to play against, simply because it drives them crazy.
The theme of the deck is an aggro mill deck, milling your opponent and using the number of cards in their graveyards to tear apart their deck using quick and easy instants such as surgical extraction, or heavier endgame cards such as haunting echoes.

Traumatize and haunting echoes is usually endgame for your opponent.
Also, stay on the aggresive with your creatures so that you can get quest counters on your bloodchief ascension which will let any of your millcards destroy the opponent.

Deck discussion for Twisted Intelect (Finished)

unfortunately this is going too be too slow for legacy play. you don't have anything of substance to do until the middle game, and by then the opponent will have the game under control

24 lands is too much. you will be fine with 22. also, dimir aquiducts is too slow and will hold you up a whole turn that you desperately need

surgical extraction is a better choice to sideboard. there are tons of decks in legacy that don't have essential combo pieces to take out, and can loose any number of cards and be completely fine, leaving you a card behind. that being said, there is almost no better card to sideboard in here

I agree about the dimir aqueducts. And surgical extraction was extripate but i switched it for surgical for price reasons :p

Greene, what do you think about running two Circu, Dimir Lobotomist instead of Consuming Aberration? Circu has an amazing effect (even an win condiction), one less mana then Aberration but their removal effect doesn't 'stack' with the other creatures and Death's Approach.
Another card to take a look is Perplex, by this one you can also search for a Mind Funeral to speed up the milling.
Mind Sculpt got and amazing art, but if I got the coin I obviously swipe for Glimpse the Unthinkable.
And by the way, this is a very cool deck for casual and fun ones.

I'd drop two phantasm's for circu and leave the aberrations. Circu adds to the milling and possible win, yes, but consuming aberration is a useful mill tool as well as a strong creature. It would have to be a choice between the two. Maybe board one while using the other... but I'd use mirko and consuming aberration together

I agree with perplex because of the versatility it provides. Mind funeral is a severely aggressive mill card if you get real lucky and you want that a soon as possible.

I also agree with glimpse over mind sculpt. It's a good card, but in a blue/black deck you really would want to go with glimpse.

With no real way to build up some extra mana I can't suggest mind grind. Such a shame, really. I've ended plenty of games with that card.

All in all a nice deck. I'd hate to play it

thanks guys, but the hate for phantasm is understandable when seeing this deck in the vault but one this deck plays phantasm is easyily the best first turn play i can muster. First turn phantasm, second turn wight and third turn mindfuneral then swing for alot of times more than twenty against some goblin decks and creature heavy decks(:
but, perplex is a solid addition becaus emind funeral is essential in this deck, thanks for the suggestion :D mind checking out any of my other decks and giving this level of advice??(:
