Removed Phenax Aberration combo —Dec. 16, 2015
I've finally removed Phenax, God of Deception and Consuming Aberration in an attempt to speed up the deck and hopefully make it more competitive. They will be making an appearance in a casual mill deck Back Once Again (With The Mill Behavior).

I had considered Thought Scour but ended up choosing Tome Scour. I might try it out though.

Though not bad Thought Scour is the better of the two.
For a cheap deck, you made a good decicion playing deffensive, your deck is slow after all. But you need more card draw, to get you going later of and to get the combo you like, which, if left unchecked, can be brutal.
This is a link my competitive milling deck, if you wanna take a look, It's sort of expensive, but it might give some inspiratin to improval for the future. It's a bit different than yours, fast deck without many creatures, which it makes up to with its use of Damnation.

Thanks for the advice, I'll give Thought Scour a try and take a look at your deck.

I would run more Mind Funeral rather than more Mind Grind as you are paying 3 mana with Mind Funeral for the same effect as 6 mana with Mind Grind.Just a suggestion.

also, if you want to run the Phenax, God of Deception and consuming abberation combo, then you should commit to it and run more of each.

Consuming Aberration*, this is also just a suggestion.

I had thought about including more than one copy of each, and if I was playing more competitively I would probably drop Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker and maybe Traumatize to make room for them.

ian.hughes if you own bot of them, I would keep them both mainboard. Thay are both very good.

I currently own all cards listed, so I'll probably keep things as they are.

I'd trade Temple of Deceit for a better land while it still is worth something.

Can you recommend anything? I added it for flavour mostly (I'm prone that sort of thing), and thought scry 1 never hurts.
