Blue mill with splash of black

by Bovard89 on 27 May 2012

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

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

A mill deck I've been working on. Any advice is greatly appreciated, Thanks.
Mostly Blue with a very small splash of Black to summon Nemesis of reason.

No snapcaster mage due to cost around where i live. (almost $20.) if i had the money to shell out, i would include it though and drop 2 of the Mind Sculpts.

drop tamiyo, she's too slow for this, add another jace, drop the zeniths, again too slow add in 3 mindcranks (seeing as you are running a decent number of creatures) drop the artifact you have for 4 trepenation blades (they combo with the crank and nemisis of reason for extra mill
drop dream twist for increasing confusion, its a much better mill flashback and can easily end games
keening stone might be fun in you are going for gank
also, steady progess can be dropped for think twice if you want the draw, or even better, mind funeral
finally, get rid of the mind unbounds and use 2 merfolk looters, much faster and helps you get things you need faster

Dream Twist is essentially 3 mana to mill 6 cards. If you want a mono-blue milling card, use Mind Sculpt instead, or if you want to take your risk on the few black mana you have in your deck, you could use Glimpse the Unthinkable for 2 mana miill 10.

Also, if you're using Jace's Erasure to mill, you might want to consider Howling Mines for a 2 mana artifact which causes both players to draw an extra card at each draw step. Good for consistent mill when used alongside Erasure.

Hope this helps, and glad to see my deck helped you make your own!

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to put together this current set up and try testing it, then see if any of your advice could make it better.
