CPA Build-a-Deck III: Jace Beleren

I'm looking at this as a simple mill type deck. But maybe there are a few extra tricks that can be added..... It's also fairly low cc...

Just in case....

Tormod's Crypt - let's just make sure it isn't available or remotely useful.

-- Aside... With all the recurring characters, why Tormod never makes another appearance is unfortunate... his crypt is cool... and so's it's flavor text.

I'm not sure if he'll be as effective a millstone given you have to grant a lot of drawing to get to his 10 loyalty... On the other hand, since the draws are during your own turn you should find ways of making opponents discard... A certain Black Enchantment from Legends wouldn't suck either... We could turn this into a card drawing machine...

EDIT: The cards I meant were Chains of Mephistopholes and Underworld Dreams (Too much Black investment imho), but we could also use Words of Waste to avoid the Chains affecting ourselves and help the situation... Activate Words, Activate Jace, Opponent discards to draw a card or get's milled for 1 (Chains of M), then has to discard a card - to Words of Waste... So either way they are discarding 1 or 2 cards and potentially getting milled - while we avoid negative effects. How do Chains work w/ Howling Mine?

These would seem to work really well with the draw/discard blue creatures...

Which is my future direction...

The Tentacled One
This guy seems kind of crappy. His first two abilities seem at odds with each other and his big ability requires too much of an investment. Oh well, at least we can protect that investment with countermagic...

I'm going to add the Chains now

Let's get this party Started!

I'm adding the analysis below... we don't have to keep up the Casting Costs and Colors I suppose, but I find they help for lands and to keep a good mana curve.

Might as well complete the playset on FoW. Not sure what else to do. I like milling decks, but I don't care for this centerpiece. It might work out well though. Who knows?

It's not the greatest card to build around, but that's the fun....

Words, seems to give you an option to the card draw.... so in it goes
It might need more creatures or we can go KJ-ish and have few to none....

I'm going to add some small creatures, which work well w/ Chains as I mentioned earlier. Plus it gives us a potential chump blocker or whatnot.

Here are my thoughts..... don't laugh....
Diabolic Edict to keep those creatures away
Fact or Fiction to dig for the cards you need or would Brainstorm be a better alternative?

Some way to get stuff back out of the GY?

Howling Mine.... to work with the chains....

I think we should add capsize or some other bounce, works with planeswalkers or anything else especially when we get them to discard mode...

I was also thinking of Ashnod's Cylix to search or mill... it's an "interesting" card I'd never really looked at.

Ashnod's Cylix
Artifact (2)
Rules Text (Oracle): 3,T : Target player looks at the top three cards of his or her library, puts one of them back on top of his or her library, then removes the rest from the game.

It isn't a draw, so it won't effect Chains if we use it on ourselves.

I don't think tutor's allowed by the rules of no restricted/banned stuff...

I think we still need a few creatures... I like Blizzard Specters here, either discard or bounce (poor bounce, but bounce if need be before a discard for removal).
