So, this deck has been placing a wee bit. It seems janky, but worth exploring since it tends to avoid the commonly hated-out lines of play.

Place: 5th - 8th
Instants (18)
4 Archive Trap
4 Crypt Incursion
2 Surgical Extraction
4 Thought Scour
4 Visions of Beyond
Creatures (7)
1 Augur of Bolas
4 Hedron Crab
2 Snapcaster Mage
Spell (3)
3 Breaking // Entering
Lands (21)
4 Darkslick Shores
2 Ghost Quarter
3 Island
3 Misty Rainforest
2 Oboro, Palace in the Clouds
1 Scalding Tarn
3 Shelldock Isle
1 Swamp
2 Watery Grave
Sorceries (8)
4 Glimpse the Unthinkable

3 Mesmeric Orb
Sideboard (15)

2 Inquisition of Kozilek
4 Leyline of the Void
3 Slaughter Pact
Just on the surface, I hate Mind Funeral. The deck plays similarly to burn, so tapping out to run your "big" burn spells into countermagic on your turn seems poor, and I'm not sure, statistically, how much it would mill on average. Seems crummy.
Thoughts? Has anyone actually given modern mill a try?
