I'm looking to build this deck around Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver and Phenax, God of Deception. Other key cards include Sphinx's Tutelage, Balustrade Spy, and Alhammarret's Archive.

Are you looking for full lists, or suggestions on cards you might want to include?

Both. I like to use lists for inspiration. I'm always hesitant to netdeck. Also open to suggestions on mana ratios.

Well, you'll want your key lands, Polluted Delta (i'm hesitant on running so many off color fetches as well), Watery Grave, and maybe Sunken Ruins, Sunken Hollow or Darkslick Shores. Since your running mill, i'm going to say you NEED Nephalia Drownyard, because of its late game capabilities. For spells, Glimpse the Unthinkable is a must. Mind Sculpt and Breaking are it's less favored cousins. Mind Grind/Mind Funeral/Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker are great budget options, but all do the same thing. I suggest Jace, Memory Adept (for his 10 card ability at 0!) and a mainboard set of Tormod's Crypt. Getting to Exile graves is important for decks that might side in something like Elixir of Immortality to stop you.

If your open to viewing lists, here's my budget one. (Milling is Fum)

Hope that helps!

It helps a lot. Though the second Jace, Memory Adept is getting swapped out for Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver.
