So I have this weird love for mill. I currently have a U/B mill deck I use for Modern, as well as a U/B multiplayer mill deck that also uses the ever annoying Bloodchief Ascension + Mindcrank combo. It has a ridiculous win percentage (that's what happens when you mix that combo with loads of removal, posts/Exsanguinate, and Mind Grind), and frankly it is one of those "play it once per night" decks.
I wanted to scale it back a bit, and make a pure mill deck. Here is what I was thinking so far:
I haven't tested the deck yet, but somethings that jump out at me:
I am worried about early aggression. To help, I threw in Wight of Precinct Six. Obviously, I also have Barter in Blood for turn 4, and the Disk/Cap combo for later game. I was still uneasy, so I threw in a couple Crypt Incursions. I know that it makes Wight worse... but I don't think it will matter a ton as I am not actually trying to bash someone with the Wight to win the game. But the anti-synergy bothers me somewhat. I kinda wanted to go creature-less, but without drain, that scares me. I suppose I could always use Reassembling Skeletons instead, but that seems meh...
I didn't put Chill of Foreboding in simply because I couldn't find room. It is a very nice card, and especially non-harmful with Elixir of Immortality. Speaking of, I put that in to help negate the damage I will do to myself with Mesmeric Orb.
Anyway... any thoughts and suggestions you have would be appreciated!
EDIT:
I also just realized that I forgot to include Expedition Map. Hmm....
Um... Every card you mentioned except for Consuming Aberration is unplayable garbage for multiplayer. Looks like you didn't really read my post, just the deck list and did some assuming. Exactly what BR list are you thinking we play with? Why would I replace Mind Grind??? Aberration is too slow for what I had in mind.

My Esper Control self really wants to throw my Nephalia Drownyards in there... but it doesn't seem worth it in multiplayer really at all.
