So this is a deck I built with some generous donations from a friend (my collection is pretty small). Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker used to be my general, which was very effective once he was out and Lightning Greaves or Whispersilk Cloak'd but I wasn't winning, mostly due to close-to-zero creature presence. It was pretty easy to get steamrolled by White and/or Green once they started bulking up.

The minor presence of white, and Oloro as general, means I won't have to worry about aggro as much so I have time to either self-mill and play from graveyard or draw until win-cons come out. Speaking of:Keening Stone + Traumatize is a nifty combo! If one or the other comes out early, it's probably not going to work out, but they're both decent on their own.

Cards like Consuming Aberration are amazing, especially if your Traumatize gets turned back on you (which has happened). I focused away from discard and hand-hate spells to gain that emphasis on graveyard play, but I have a few discards ( Dark Deal , Windfall ) just in case.

I was running ten counterspells at one point, but I've cut down to six plus a few other decent removals.I'm not an experienced deck-builder so tips are very much appreciated!

I prefer physical cards over proxies, hence the budget tag, which is why I run Castigate over Thoughtseize, and no Remand. I'll probably get ahold of them one day, though.
