Small change plus a new goal for the deck. —March 31, 2019

I took out Patient Rebuilding

The reason is that I have played the deck quite a bit and have realized that for this type of Mill to work in standard even on a Jank level it can't be a Mill deck with some counter spells. It has to be a control deck with a mill finisher. As soon as the opponent gains any serious board presence the game is as good as over. If you are very lucky Sleep can win you that extra turn and let you win the game but most of the time that won't be enough. That means you have to counter almost everything the opponent tries to play barring maybe some 1/1's or other weak permanents. So Patient Rebuilding pretty much became a 7 drop instead of a 5 drop(saving at least 2 mana for counter spells is necessary at that late in the game) for which it is way too slow and weak + it is competing with Overflowing Insight now, a card that usually acts as our win condition

keevel says... #1

Looking at standard mill - Millstone and Wall of Lost Thoughts jump out as possibles.

keevel I don't know about Millstone but I have thought about adding Wall of Lost Thoughts . I'll add it to the sideboard for now but I might move it up later.
