Deck discussion for Avid Librarians

I dislike Mindgrind because it's unreliable. How many times have I grinded for three only to knock out the top five cards of their library. If you switch to Traumatize... you get half thier deck.. everytime. Consuming Aberrition should be cut down to two copies. Its a five cost and its ability isn't that great because by turn five you've cast most of your opening hand. This deck isn't drawing enough to merit using four copies. Trepanation blade is ok but four copies is a bit much unless your playing with mana acceleration. Because your only running twenty lands (which is low) it doesn't seem likely that your making all your land drops and therefore you might end up holding a few copies because you're waiting to cast other spells. I like twenty three lands if over two thirds of the spells (not counting land) are below three casting cost. Otherwise 24 is safer. Goodluck. My mill has changed a few times, but feel free to check it out. It consistantly decks opponents by turn eight. It also uses enough board control to survive for eight turns. Goodluck!

you should be able to continue casting spells with your cipher+invisible stalker so i understand the multiple copies of consuming aberation, if you put in an artfull dodge you pretty much win the game in one turn. i would definately only run 2 trep blades take out the undercity plague and add land your going to get stuck quite often when you only run 20
