Didn't Say Please

Counter target spell. Its controller puts the top three cards of their library into their graveyard.
TheoryCrafter on Should WotC be More Proactive …

I would love to see a 100% reprint set, but only for all the cards affected by oracle changes. If, in the unlikelihood that were to ever happen, it's probably decades down the road due to potential balance issues. Even then it won't likely cover them all.
There are times I think WOTC could reprint cards instead of making non-colorshifted functional reprints. I get it, it's not always possible due to flavor (like Didn't Say Please for Eldraine and Thought Collapse for Ravnica), though sometimes different art and/or flavor text could make it work. However, functional reprints do have the added benefit of getting around the one of rule in singleton formats.
I'm surprised Foundations has received no mention here. Practically half the set was reprints. I was able to build a Control/Stompy deck around Consuming Aberration without having to spend a penny because of it. Don't know if it can compete with the meta, but I like to think I have enough tools to at least give them a challenge. Whether I can or not, I have a Standard deck that can get me through at least to 2029.
Foundations is the one that released a reprint of Doubling Season. Based on what I've observed, it hasn't made much, if any, of a dent in the price.
The way I see it WOTC is addressing affordability concerns, just not in the way players would prefer it.
I think the problem is players get so caught up in powerful cards and asking what they can do with it, they forget to ask themselves what they can use to minimize their effectiveness if they come across it. If you're spending so much on the name of achieving victory, then what's it gonna take to not care about winning as much and just build a competent deck to just have fun?
Thank you for reading me out. May you draw well!

Thank you for your thoughtful suggestions TheoryCrafter. I'll keep Mystic Sanctuary in mind. Didn't Say Please and Thought Collapse are useful counterspells, but I think I keep Mystical Dispute in my sideboard for now, because it can be really good against counterspell heavy decks. Also when it comes to 3 mana counterspells, I thought about adding Sinister Sabotage to my sideboard, because it helps me to dig, and possibly move Terisian Mindbreaker in to the graveyard.

Have you considered Mystic Sanctuary? This will allow you to reuse the many Instants and Sorceries you have. Also, there are cards named Didn't Say Please and Thought Collapse that may be of more help than Mystical Dispute at the same mana value. I hope this helps.
Happy Hunting!

Have you considered Mystic Sanctuary? It will allow you to retrieve an instant or sorcery from the graveyard. Also, Have you considered adding Didn't Say Please? It's a functional reprint of Thought Collapse.
Here are some other suggestions I have:
-As you evolve this deck, you should really consider leaning further into the card draw the Jace Planeswalkers offer. This is why I recommend replacing Search for Azcanta with Jace's Erasure.
-If/When you can afford it, replace Augur Of Bolas with Thassa's Oracle. While it may be a tad more difficult to get an instant or sorcery from your library, not only it will also allow you access to other card types, but you have an extra alternate win card in the event you lose Jace, Wielder of Mysteries.
-One of Mill's biggest weaknesses is how it can feed the graveyards of opponents with strong graveyard interaction. Which is why I recommend replacing Field of Ruin with Scavenger Grounds and Negate with Grip of Amnesia.
I hope this helps. Thank you for reading me out. Happy Hunting!

From the looks of this deck you've done a good job with mana efficiency.
Also, its important to remember the color identity rule. I'm a little spotty on multi-colored lands, but Nihil Spellbomb and Simic Locket could be seen as a violation of the rule.
With Bruvac as your commander, redundancy in instant win plays is important. Which is why I recommend adding Cut Your Losses and Fleet Swallower.
You've done good putting in cards that mill each opponent. This will help get around spells and abilities that give your opponents hexproof. With all the draw spells, may I recommend adding Psychic Corrosion? This will mill each opponent as you draw. In fact, if you add Jace's Archivist it will not only feed into Psychic Corrosion, but Fraying Sanity as well. In which case you may also want to consider adding Mystic Redaction to your deck.
Also, with your desire for Counter spells, you may want to look for spots for Countermand, Didn't Say Please, and Thought Collapse. While you cannot counter a card like Carnage Tyrant, you can still target the spell and force the spell's controller to mill.
At this stage keep Into the Roil in your deck for as long as you can. Outside of counter spells, this will be your best defense against Wheel of Sun and Moon. May I also suggest Nevinyrral's Disk? Not only is it another way to deal with Wheel of Sun and Moon, but also serves as a board wipe.
Also, I'd highly recommend Drowned Secrets since you're running a mono blue deck.
If at some point you choose to shift some of your deck towards more creatures, may I recommend Persistent Petitioners? With Bruvac also being an advisor, you can give him something to do other than sit around and be a target. And at 3 toughness, each copy can buy you some time against a battlefield of 4/4 tramplers. It would also give you the added bonus of giving your commander some protection from spells that would cause it to goad.
I hope this helps. Thank you for reading me out. Happy Hunting!

Blue Black Mill - Hedron Crabs & Jace

Brainstorm isn't modern legal. There's some direct upgrades such as Ruin Crab over Hedron Crab
Didn't Say Please over Psychic Strike Another good card is Glimpse the Unthinkable there's more but these are all I can think of off the top of my head. Hope this helps. wallisface has a pretty good mill deck if you want one for reference
