Esper Mill

by john721 on 11 August 2015

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Artifacts (1)


Enchantments (3)

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

Mill your opponent before he kills you.

How to Play

Mill your opponent with every mill card you draw. Don't fear the self mill of Mesmeric Orb, self-milling is hermless until your library has cards. It also fuels Manic Scribe's delirium.
As your opponent searches his or her library (e.g. fetchlands, PtE, Ghost Quarters, etc.) play for free all the copies of Archive Trap you have in hand and mill thirteen cards each.
If your opponent has an Emrakul that goes into graveyard, use Nihil Spellbomb in response to its trigger: he will reshuffle an empy graveyard and he's exiled. Draw a card to replace it if you have {B}.

Deck discussion for Esper Mill

I've been running a competitive modern mill deck for the last few months and I highly suggest running 2 Crypt Incursion as 2 or 3 mind funeral.

I'll consider running 2 Crypt Incursion in place of the 2 Thought Scour. They have no much utility beside cycling a card and defense/survival is needed.

A successful resolve definitely swings most games. Just the other day I played Hedron Crap T1 T2 fetch (6) Glimps (16) T3 land (19) Mind funeral for 8 (27) then T4 I played Incursion gaining 33 life.

Pretty nice deck man. I would sideboard in some enchantment hate (saw you have graveyard and artifact hate), but if someone else uses leyline of sanctity (slippery bogle decks run 4 in the sb), it'll hurt most of your cards. Still a very nice mill deck! +1!

Substituted two anti-tokens with 2 Disenchant. Detention Sphere also works as anti-enchantments.

Have you thought about adding Snapcaster Mage? Gives you a chump blocker to let you live longer and also gives you a free spell (mill or spot removal if you need).

It's a possibility but it's not free, you pay its cost plus two.
