--First of all I wan't to make this deck standard---
It's a mill deck that doesn't attempt to win through "decking" the opponent, but rather through the handy dandy "Bloodchief Ascension."
-Lightning bolts are 1 drop instants that help activate "Bloodchief..." on your opponent's turn.
- Blightning is for also putting cards into their graveyard as well as reducing their hand size, in addition to help direct damage activation of "Bloodchief" as a sorcery.
-Amulet of vigor helps my skeletons come reassembled untapped as well as all of my special lands
-Death baron beefs up my zombies and turns my skeletons into death touchers for big creature, that come back to the battlefield
-Vedalken ghoul puts the opponent into a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation with Death Baron's death touch on the board
-Lich Lord of Unx spawns me dispensable death touching (w/ Death Baron) 2/2 zombies whose second ability can also mill for the win if I have a zombie presence on the board the opponent hasn't dealt with. With "Bloodchief" on the board the Lich's second ability does 3 damage per zombie on the board, plus I gain 2 life!
-Duress helps me weed out any earthquakes or meddlesome spells / enchantments from the opponents hand as well as can deal 2 damage to the opponent and gain me 2 life.
-Tome scour is a "game ender" with an activated Bloodchief Ascension.
-Countersquall helps me get rid of any troublesome spells that pass my Duress' filters, and deal 2 damage as an instant on the opponents turn helping to activate Blood Chief Ascension.
As far as the SIDEBOARD these are all possible additions to my deck, I just don't know what I would substitute for them. It's not an actual sideboard yet.
-Drastic Revelation would only go in if I made the deck cheaper and played out my hand quicker.
-Sedraxis only if got rid of some of my discards, because it kills the death baron synergy.
-Unscythe is pricey, but would be amazing because it means my death toucher's stay alive with first strike! And when I've cleared out their creatures I deal 3 more damage to them, and they survive lightning bolts to boot!
-Haunting echoes and Thought Hemorrhage are sided just for troublesome combo decks.
Any comments or suggestion would be greatly appreciated! I will comment back as well on your decks! As it is the deck is at '67,' but I can't for the life of me get it to 60 without an objective astute fellow Magicer's counsel.
Thanks!
