Hello everybody and welcome to this project.

Fraying Sanity+Traumatize is a really insane (pun intended) combo which can end the game on turn five if the opponent doesn't have something like Emrakul the Aeons Thorn. Since those two cards alone are enough to kill the opponent, i thought that a control shell could be better than a mill one and setted on an hybrid between classic U/W-control and Enchantment-prison. I made this choice because Spreading Seas and Detention Sphere are enchantments as well as Fraying Sanity (which becomes less of a dead weight if we don't draw Traumatize).

EDIT: after helping my flatmate building is own GW enchantress deck, i decided to go full prison. I don't know if this version is better or worse than the previous one, but i wanted to try it.At the moment i feel like the infinite mill combo is just a dead weight. Fraying Sanity does nothing without Traumatize and Traumatize is really expensive, making me mulligan some keepable hands. I feel sad cutting them, because those cards were the reason i built this deck in the first place, but i can't have 55 synergic cards and 5 "i hope i draw the other half of this combo" cards.

PS. As you can see, the deck is pretty budget. The reason is simple: i am a budget player and i was trying to build a casual mill deck which turned out decently competitive. LSo, what do you Think? I hope to have some feedback.
