Deck discussion for Modern Mono Mill

Running 16 lands with no fetches is sort of anti-synergy with your crabs. You want to drop at least 1 land each turn, preferably a fetch to double trigger the crabs.

There's also a few mill staple cards to take a look at:

Thought Scour
Archive Trap
Field of Ruin

I can bounce a land with Deprive to get more use out of Halimar Depths and to trigger landfall, but fetch lands is a really good idea. And I like how Field of Ruin pairs well with Archive Trap. Any other recommendations for fetch lands? Preferably budget friendly options.

Your best bet for a fetch land setup on a budget is 4x Seething Landscape and 4x Evolving Wilds. I'd trim out the Halimar Depths and 4 islands to make that happen, as it has the same disadvantage as Wilds but double trips the crabs, and Landscape is just perfect for what you want here and has very little drawback (shame you can't use the cycling, but oh well). The sort-of-scry is nice, but in reality you'd much rather have a double mill off a crab, especially since it's not actually a Scry, so you can't toss away stuff you don't need.

A friend recommended Obscura Storefront. Similar enough to the others but you also gain 1 life.

And there's Myriad Landscape, which costs mana but can have 3 Landfall triggers, which sounds like fun.


(Also, how do you show the card in the comments like that?)

Storefront isn't bad. Only downside is you can't control when you crack it, but that shouldn't be a problem here.

Myriad Landscape is great for triggers, but it's slooooooow, cause everything enters tapped. So you're trading off triggers for speed. I guess it depends on what you're comfortable with.

To show the cards, put double brackets around the name [[card name here]]. You've gotta put the whole name though, and it doesn't work with possessives for some reason, which is lame but whatever
