U/G self mill

by AAAIII on 09 November 2012

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)


Instants (6)

Enchantments (4)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

Unlike most of the self mill decks in standard, I'm not going for a laboratory-maniac-base. Instead, I'm looking forward to get fast and strong creatures in game and overwhelm my opponent.

Splinterfright, Boneyard Wurm, Skaab Ruinator and Ghoultree are some of the candidates to finish my opponent.

I want this deck to be my FNM deck, so any tips would are welcome. Most of the cards woul hit the graveyard, so I'm affraid of putting some instants and sorceries.

I know self mill isn't the best way of winning a game (due to grave removal), but there is something about it that makes it funnier to play than most control and zombie decks.

Thx in advance.

Deck discussion for U/G self mill

If you can get the mana base to support it, look to add black for cards like grisly salvage, forbidden alchemy, and targeted removal spells that you will need to push through. Beware of Tormod's Crypt, you may want to pack some alternates to Splinterfright and Boneyard Wurm in your sideboard, like Wolfir Silverheart, Dreadbridge Goliath, or even Strangleroot geist or Champion of Lambholt for a more aggro approach. Wreath of Geists can also be a major help.

I hadn't considered heavy grave removal like tormod's and rest in peace. Thanks a lot for the advice.

I tested the deck and if my opponent's weren't lucky at removals (at least 6 main deck) they had to deal with a 4th turn ghoultree. Even though, i think its a bit unreliable against rakdos and azorius and i want to be prepared for anything.
