This deck is great at not only robbing your opponent of options, but also creating tricky situations that can be hard to work through for the opponent.This started as a straight blue, mill exclusive deck, but has evolved into something more well rounded with the ability to win by taking away their life, or mill them to death, or sometimes both simultaneously.

I hate seeing a deck without comments here so here's my thoughts: Cut 1 Trepanation Blade, 3 Latch Seekers, Grimgrin, 4 Wight of Precinct Sixes, and possible some or all of the Dream Twists.Add 1 more Sword (really any of the swords because they give protection from certain color combination you might be weaker against) for the Trep Blade because it's strictly better for the same cost. Grimgrin needs to have things sacked for him to be anywhere near effective and you can't really rely on being able to do that. I would add either another Jace Memory Adept or Liliana Vess so you can take full advantage of the miracle cards (and maybe add Temporal Mastery too). You should check out other, more powerful mill cards to replace the Dream Twists will. Memory Sluice would be a good start; particularly if you have a couple zombies sitting around. You should put in 3 Lich Lord of Unx for the Latch Seekers because they are too easy to kill by targeting them with lightning bolt or lightning helix etc. The Lich Lord will die to that too but if you have mana open you can make a zombie in response or use the other ability. Finally, I don't think the Wights fit in with this deck; ideally you will he exiling all their creatures to make more zombies so there may not be many in the graveyard. I think 4 Gravecrawlers would be a good fit here. He can come out turn 1 and can continue to be annoying for your opponent throughout the game. Not to mention your Cavern of Souls will be more effective with more zombie cards. The final-final suggestion is to get another Watery Grave and to see if you can fit a Nephelium Drownyard in there in case you need/want to mill more with extra mana you have sitting around.Hope this helps :)

Thanks for the suggestions man. The main reason I keep the Wight around is because all the people I play with know that the second Undead Alchemist tries to come out, he is either countered, or dead before he can even say hello. So the Wight of Precinct Six serves as a backup plan. The Sword of Body and Mind is, without a doubt better than the trepanation blade, but I currently do not have any more of the swords, and I tend to not like to build outside my current limits.Grave crawler is a great idea, and definitely a great way to create a diversion when equipped so that something else can get through. I agree about GrimGrin, he works great when the alchemiost can pop out zombies, but any other time he just sits there, and by the time he finally does become untapped, there is a kill or unsummon waiting for him. I would really like to keep this within the extended measures for the time being, so i probably wont be adding the Lich, or Memory Sluice any time soon. I may try some other stuff though, maybe Dimir Charm, or mindsculpt.All in all thanks for the advice.
Yeah I can understand that. My other thought was that if you took out the swords and the Darkslick Shores this wouldn't be a bad standard deck either; more importantly most decks wouldn't see it coming and may not be able to handle the strange mill.
Yeah, I have used this tournament before RTR came in, and people were so confused and angry when I won. Have not been to anything tournament style since AVR, so i dont even know what to expect any more.
It's largely aggro and reanimator.Check out this site: http://www.mtgtop8.com/format?f=ST&meta=50 And switch it to "the last 2 weeks" to see what the meta's like. No one sideboards to stop mill except for the rare Esper deck expecting a mirror match.
the wrights of precinct 6 have undead alchemist in their way. the alchemist exiles creatures tat the wright needs to grow.

Hey, not to be a bother or anything but why is that SnarlingToes guy trolling about your decks all over the place? Also this is the second of your decks that i see and just the same, every comment is disliked. you know whats going on??

wow. you REALLY have to watch your language.
although I agree. snarling toes does 2 things every day. snarls at his goblin toes and say that this deck is awesome
Go with Glimpse the Unthinkable instead of Mindgrind. Much more utility and a better guarantee that you get lots of cards milled out.
