Sphinx's Revelation to stabilise/gain life/ increase hand size over 7 for Whispering Madness??
Adding a splash of white could also give Stalker indestructibility against verdict, via Rootborne Defenses, but that does nothing against terminus for example.
EDIT: Thinking a bit more about this, whispering madness hitting twice or three times followed by Psychic Spiral would be GG on turn five.
That seems viable to me, depends if it can hold off RDW and R/B aggro.
Whispering Madness costs 4. How are you going to get it out turn 2 or 3 along with an Invisible Stalker so you could hit with it 2 or 3 times to make Psychic Spiral work by T5?
Even Magic Christmasland can't fill that stocking.
I really like that combo - there's a reason Windfall is banned in Legacy. I also like the potential combo between Undead Alchemist and Undercity Informer against aggro decks, which typically can be tough for mill.
Alternatively you could play Red Deck Wins. But there you go.
Both decks' primary wincon is through milling. So instead of trying to force really mediocre cards into a strategy, just use a deck that has already proven itself.
You can't be aggressive with milling, the only mill cards that see play are the repeatable ones in control decks.
man i missed good mill...we had it in alara & Zendikar...lost it in scars & innistrad started to bring it back & now there is full hope again...i loved playing my old B/U mind fun deck back in alara & my G/U crab mill deck in zendi...i had made a blue mill deck not too recently but its not fast enough against zombies or rites decks...yes 2 colors will be a bit more clunky on the get go but by t5 it seems semi-competitive in general matchups
