Deck Description

This is no longer only cards I have, but the deck I'm shooting for. Purchases listed below, though I won't be getting all those, at least not for this deck. It's also standard legal, I believe, after dropping Dream Fracture and Forced Fruition.

Considering to buy:
Keening Stone
Cathartic Adept
Belltower Sphinx
Archive Trap
Twincast
more Tome Scour and Gomazoa

Deck discussion for My (Standard Now) U Mill

One of the obvious would be to add Jace TMS, but of course he doesn't come cheap.

A card I quite like for mill with Hedron Crads is Ruin Ghost from WW, allowing you to exile a land and bring it right back which of course allows the crab to mill for each land. It's not the fastest method, but get a couple of crabs down and a couple of ghosts and you can mill 12 each time.

As you build up mana, keening stone is another option also.

I'm relatively new to MTG and my card knowledge is limited compared to many on here, so you may get better advice from others, but that's my 2 cents :)

Thanks for the input. Jace TMS would be awesome, but like you said, he's pricey. I figure I can buy a lot of other cards (decks worth even) before I consider him.

Ruin Ghost would be good if I throw W in here but for now it's strictly U. I really like Keening Stone though. Thanks!

I missed the obvious fact that you're not even playing white hehe, sorry about that. I'll think some more about the blue only :)

I would throw get both Tome Scour and Traumatize to 4. And definitely get some Keening Stones. Also, if you're not playing standard, I would suggest some Belltower Sphinx over Gomazoas. I know theyr'e a bit more mana heavy, but I personally like their effect better. Also, maybe add some Cathartic Adepts into there? Just so that your battlefield isn't too empty. Other than that, very nice build

Ah yes, Tome Scour and Cathartic Adepts are a must, I think.
My concern with 4 Traumatizes is that if I draw all of them the third and fourth won't be terribly effective. Less than 7 cards milled by the time you play the third.

I think I have room that I could throw in another Gomazoa, the Tome Scours and Adepts and still fit a Belltower Sphinx or two into this. I'm also thinking about adding some Unsummons or Boomerangs for better control. Efficient aggro is trouble since this doesn't really have any early blockers.
