Mill your opponent's library with Glimpse the Unthinkable, Breaking, Mind Funeral, Archive Trap and Hedron Crab, while giving yourself the time to do so with Darkness, Crypt Incursion, and by removing threats with Path to Exile, Damnation, and Surgical Extraction. The deck has an enslavement theme with Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver and Entering, as they both let you turn your opponent's creatures against them.

Breaking / Entering was originally included in the deck because it's significantly cheaper than Glimpse the Unthinkable, but instead of becoming the deck's red-headed step child I've embraced it and splashed red to make full use of it.

I want this deck to be competitive, so if you have any suggestions on how I could improve it (or the sideboard) feel free to post them.
