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 discussion for B/U milling

You may run into tons of trouble with creature decks or burn decks. You most likely will not be able to mill 60 cards before you die. With creature decks, you'll just get overwhelmed. With burn deck, if they kill the crab, then you lose a lot of momentum. I don't recommend using Mind Funeral because it's 3 mana for, on average, 7-8 cards (I calculated it). It's better to use Tome Scour, the ratio is better. Perhaps you can take out a few of those cards and put in some counters or removal and give that a try.

The mill decks strategy is this: Build a nice "wall" and then destroy the opponents deck without letting them touch your life total. Unfortunately, I don't think you have a sufficient enough "wall."

Fywdyl is right - as soon as those crabs are dead to removal your momentum is gone. You should try some other cards instead. Two Traumatizes work wonders against any deck. Only two though. After that the mana cost is to high for the amount of cards you're milling.

You might also wish to try some Archive Traps. Five mana for 13 garunteed milled cards, but with a nice ability to be cast for 0 mana. And since most everyone runs fetch lands and Search cards, it is usually a good investment.

Good luck with your deck, and happy milling. :)
