This is a mill deck that can win through both milling and through damage, with cards that get stronger when my opponent's graveyard is full of cards.

The deck relies on cards that mill my opponent, like Mind Grind, along with cards that have a side effect of milling like Pilfered Plans, Thought Collapse, and Grisly Spectacle.

The other side of this deck consists of creatures that get stronger as more cards are put into my opponent's graveyard. Jace, Memory Adept + Duskmantle Guildmage can combine to deal 20 damage, with the guildmage using its first ability twice, then Jace using his 0 ability. Nighthowler grows with the number of creatures in all graveyards, and can be bestowed onto a flying creature to evade blockers and hit hard. Finally, Consuming Aberration grows with any type of card in my opponent's graveyard, and turns my every spell into more milling.

Updates Add

I've made some changes to this deck to update it from Modern to Pioneer. While most of the other decks I converted only needed a small handful of cards swapped out, this one needed some more substantial changes, including removing the Mindcrank and Bloodchief Ascension combos, as well as the 2 copies of Polluted Delta to comply with the banlist.

Removed:

1 Bloodchief Ascension

2 Jace's Phantasm

3 Mindcrank

1 Nephalia Drownyard

2 Polluted Delta

Added:

2 Dismal Backwater

1 Duskmantle Guildmage

1 Island

2 Nightveil Sprite

1 Syr Konrad, the Grim

2 Teferi's Tutelage
