by McLovin94 on 30 January 2013

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Creatures (3)


Sorceries (1)


Instants (4)


Land (4)

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

All in the name, highly destructive milling with just enough control cards to keep your opponent in check to be able to play them.

How to Play

Generally wins are achieved via deck milling.

That being said win through damaging your opponent is not an unheard of occurrence. Once Jace's Phantasm hit's its stride it can be quite an effective attacker (wink,wink, nudge, nudge)

Deck discussion for Crushing Mill

Have you thought about tossing in a ghost quarter or two to help you trigger archive trap for free?

I had, but it contains two weaknesses that I'm not too pleased with. Firstly it requires me to burn a land to do so as well as give an opponent a choice of land (even though they lose one also, how often have you been in a position where you have slightly too much of one colour, yet not enough of the other). Secondly any seasoned player who knows (or even suspects) that they are going up against a mill deck will probably not take the bait, as archive trap is one of the most popular blue mill cards, leading us back to the first problem where I've burned a land for an opponents land (which in a blue deck a 1/1 is not a good trade).

Was a good suggestion though, those were just the reasons I hadn't done it. I'm sure there are others who will disagree with me though and will want to try it!

This deck is modern format, that being said, if you were to remove the archive traps and traumatizes and replace them with something from the Innistrad block onwards it would be of standard format.
