Hello fellow Noyan Dar enthusiast!

Forbid > Counterspell

Capsize > Negate

Isochron Scepter would put in work

Turbulent Dreams/Devastating Dreams useful effects that now draw cards

Forbid reusable counterspell seems good

Prismari Command one of the best Swiss army knives

Frantic Search/Faithless Looting/Breakthrough/Read the Runes cheap and efficient looting

Cephalid Coliseum land looting

Masticore old school cool now becomes an engine

Anger to compliment the Wonder

All this discard Squee, Goblin Nabob would be valuable

I like the cuts you made but it hurts to see Faithless Looting out. Made for this strategy.

Forbid > Counterspell

Curate > Preordain

Otherworldly Gaze > Serum Visions

Excise the Imperfect > Wear / Tear

Unauthorized Exit > Swords to Plowshares

I see that Inevitable Betrayal 0 CMC tech... No Wheel of Fate!?

Burning Sands > Rite of a Flame

Or replace with a niche rock like Cursed Mirror or Machine God's Effigy

Lightning Greaves > Whispersilk Cloak

Catastrophe swiss army knife. Might be better than Jokulhaups as you don't want to blow up your rocks.

You are running the three Surveil lands and Crucible but other than that there's no graveyard theme. My suggestion: Forbid > Counterspell

Thanks again, RiotRunner789! You have been the biggest help to me! I would use these cards, but I feel their instrumental nature is somewhat difficult to use. Ertai's Meddling is a very, very weird card to me. It doesn't seem as good as a tying-up-mana card. I'd rather use the rest of the opponent's mana when they cast something, which my other players in the commander game would enjoy and reward. I don't know why resolving it at a later turn would be better. Dispel is great, but I don't know if I can always draw it with instants resolving; surely they would use instants, it's just that I'm not completely certain of the outcomes in a game. Same goes for Confound and Intervene and Turn Aside. Negate is great; I could definitely use that. Forbid is also something I am considering.

I plan on drawing a petrifying amount of cards, haha. I have a bunch of creatures in slipspace for that to happen. I'd just have to complete myself by drawing a card that keeps my hand size from being limited. This is a huge problem for me. If you can help with this, I'd be doubly grateful!

Thinking of counter spells (especially budget),

Ertai's Meddling: Technically exiles, so gets around Dovin's Veto. Best used against other counters.

Dispel is just solid.

Confound and Intervene if you need your creatures or Turn Aside for any permanent.

Negate isn't in your deck but assuming it's for a reason.

Forbid and Dispersal Shield are both great but more synergy dependant. Do you draw a dumb amount of cards or have semi high cmc cards? I will say, Forbid is a straight upgrade from Cancel even if buyback is almost never.

Mill is fun. Mill was one of my first loves (and still is!) for any sort of MTG deck. However, I see some options to further Traumatize your opponents:

• Fractured Sanity is fun for all opponents. Or more fun for you. Brain Freeze is another fun instant mill that I highly recommend.
• A big concern I have seeing this is that people use graveyards as much as other resources, so being prepared for that may help you out in the long run. You mention graveyard hate is meta-dependent... but, in my experience, graveyard shenanigans are everywhere. My recommendations are Grafdigger's Cage, Tale's End, Stifle, Trickbind, Time Stop, and Discontinuity as stops to things like, for example, Eldrazi graveyard triggers.
• If you want a classic monocolor strategy and if you have enough of them, it's not uncommon to replace all the basics with snow-covered basics and use Extraplanar Lens as an acceleration engine. For you, I think that may not be a bad idea.
• Other fun toys that synergize with one or more of your toys: Windfall, Memory Jar, Isochron Scepter, Forbid, Jace, Vryn's Prodigy  ^Flip, Commandeer, Sunder, Teferi's Puzzle Box...

Nice deck. A bit heavy on creatures? You need a few more Dimir tricks.

Ideas Unbound, Windfall and/or Dark Deal big card draw

Deep Analysis little card draw

Increasing Ambition big tutor

Mystical Teachings little tutor

Dark Withering great removal

Circular Logic great counterspell

Forbid and/or Demonic Collusion forever

Null Brooch > Negate
