First EDH deck using blue.

A mill deck designed for 1v1 or two-headed giant matches.

Using bounce effects rather than true board wipes and kill spells to (hopefully) force discard.

Some Clone abilities allow me to utilize powerful (or useful) creatures that opponents may have, or create more of what I have (ex: Consuming Aberration + Rite of Replication)

sideboard for decks that will benefit from a full graveyard.

Feels fairly solid in casual but having never really played true control, I really dont have much of an idea of what to do to increase effectiveness.

Suggestions and cuts welcome!
