The main goal is to stall until you can pull off a combination of Funerals and Twincasts. Usually 4 mills are enough to kill (use Jace's +2 ability), and there is the chance they'll let Jace use his -10 ability if they're trying to rush you down. Unless they're running larks, board wipes will make sure they won't be overextending themselves anyways, so I don't see it as an big enough problem to ruin the deck. I'd agree it's not PTQ level (yet!), but casual play it's quite playable. P.S.
