The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Simple Mill/kill made on a budget of roughly $20 for standard. Price goes up a bit for a second Jace, Memory Adept. Also blue/black lands can run up a few bucks.
(1) Mill to beef up Consuming Abberration, Wight of Precint Six. (2) Mill/Kill by using mill card + dusk mantle guildmage. (EXAMPLE: Stack Duskmantle's first ability twice and then use Jace's 0 ability = 20 dmg for 6 mana.)(3) Straight Mill- plenty of cards to diminish your enemy's library fairly quickly.

suggestions anyone? i know its a bit weak on defense at first, but the ball does get rolling fairly quick and you always have counters to rely on early.

i really like its potential for great damage because of traumatize. maybe take some dual lands for better mana fix.
yeah dual lands would be a nice addition.
I like mill deck, mine still don't know what it's missing. I'll give yours a try.Have a like :D
I'm very curious to hear updates on how well this deck had been doing for you. I really want this to work since I ran a nearly identical deck, and got steamrolled by fast aggro and midrange. When it worked, it was hilarious. Huge creatures and loss life on turn 6 or 7.I only play-tested this a little, but I had big problems surviving until that point in the game. I discovered that Duskmantle Guildmage + Traumatize almost never happens since you need 8 mana at least. By then I had already won, all my guildmages were destroyed, or I was completing overwhelmed by the number of threats hitting the board and lost. Duskmantle Guildmage is one of my favorite cards but he is super slow. If you activate his ability early on, you don't have mana open for counters when you really need them. He's mostly just a 2/2 body until turn 6 or 7.Missing any land drops and not being able to cast removal or those 5 mana spells was devastating. So was drawing a bunch of early mill cards and not enough removal. I got a lot of feedback and ended up losing almost all my mill cards to put in more control/removal and relying more heavily stalling the game out long enough for my 5 drops to mill them out or kill. Haven't tested that one out enough yet though.Still one of my favorite kind of decks to play with casually especially for the cost. Far too slow to play at my local game store though.
Its really not as slow as it seems, duskmantle guildmage + tome scour (4 mana) isn't that bad. i also like to pair him with jace. After playing a few rounds i noticed it can be a bit weak without a Wight in your early hand, so i dropped two guildmage and grisly removal for hover barrier. I play fnm at my local store and i havent came in first but i have placed fairly well with what i was going against.
It risky to play sometimes like you said for fast aggro and mid range, but adding those barriers really helped out. It's hilarious to see the look on peoples faces when this deck plays flawlessly.
Take Out Grisly Spectacle And Put In 2 More Doom Blades For Faster Removal, And Find A Way To Add Some Walls. That Will Help With Pesky Fast Aggro.
I removed the grisly because after doing a few fnm i realized i never used it. added hover barrier and thats plenty enough to stall. and i did add doom blade. thanks for the tip
