Sultai Mill?

Messing with it again thank you

Originally my milldeck faced two problems, the need to hate graveyards and protection against discard.
Back in time I used to solve this by having two leyline of sanctuary and two leyline of the void in the mainboard.
Then I discovered that relic of progenitus overs both cards.
A discard becomes negated by the draw the relic provides, and it's one of the few cards that can foil surgical extraction, making it fizzle by removing the card the enemy targets with it.

In some designs I often get to use glint-nest Crane together with relic, so it's a double draw.
(I used those two in my own phenax builds.

Historically relic of progenitus was the card that made snapcaster mage unplayable in mill. It also shuts down other parts of different mill types so try to keep this card in mind often.

thank you.

I had an esper version based mostly on draw and cheap walls.
By drawing more cards I could get to cast more walls and get phenax played faster.
All the small walls were played fast enough to hold aggro at bay.
I remember it drew so many cards that I turned to æther vial to be able to cast them all.

Here's a link to how it looked in some early designs.

Unfortunately I lost the list to the finished decklist.
I have the deck somewhere but have it stored at a friend with a lot of my collection too.

I used to run a defender heavy mill deck with phenax its why I remembered him but I used Fog Banks and Wall of lost thoughts back then

One of the more important pieces in the list is Spellskite
It's good against burn, good against boogles, good against infect
And can save phenax from stuff that ignores indestructible.
