((2/U) can be paid with any two mana or with (Blue). This card's converted mana cost is 6.)

Look at the top five cards of your library. If you control more creatures than any other player, put two of those cards into your hand. Otherwise, put one of them into your hand. Then put the rest on the bottom of your library in any order.

Advice from the Fae seems bad to me. Teferi's Tutelage is another mill card you don't need. Definitely consider dropping them. Memory Plunder is borderline--it will usually have a juicy target even without a mill plan. Might be cuttable if you want to lower the deck cost.

I think Gravitational Shift isn't budget but it would be damn fine to find room for it.

This is a fun idea! You might appreciate these: Urza, Academy Headmaster, Flow of Ideas (shadowmoor art), Gaze of Pain, Memory Plunder, Advice from the Fae, Mayael the Anima, Destructive Urge, Eternal Warrior, Imposing Visage (both arts are great), Insolence, Ironclaw Curse, Mark of Fury, Orcish Oriflamme (7th edition), Kiss of Death, Memory Drain, Peer into the Abyss

Maybe I'm missing something, but some of the cards here don't seem to have much synergy with the mill plan. Glamerdye doesn't appear to do anything except provide fuel for Consuming Aberration. If that's what it's for, Raven's Crime or Oona's Grace would probably be much better. Advice from the Fae also looks needlessly overcosted since I imagine it will whiff often. That said, it and Nightveil Specter make me think devotion/chroma. Cutting the mediocre Nightveil Sprite, Dusk Legion Dreadnought, and Diminish, you could add Sanity Grinding, Mission Briefing, Hedron Crab, and similar cards with many blue mana symbols. Even Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx has a lot of potential since it's a great way to make Torment of Hailfire lethal. If you're dead set on the Abberation plan, I would recommend some way to give it unblockable (Distortion Strike, Aqueous Form, Rogue's Passage, etc.) to help you get in.

For aesthetic : Whispers of the Muse, Night's Whisper, Demonic Collusion, Diabolic Revelation, Advice from the Fae. They have that advisor feel to them.
