by MTGnerdrage on 28 January 2013

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Creatures (3)


Instants (8)

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

The goal is a heavy discard using the phantasm's as backup. Looking to tighten it up without destroying the bank.

How to Play

No real combo, just burn their deck hard.

I'm looking to build a side board for multiplayer games.

Deck discussion for Mill away your sorrows...

archive trap looks like a very situational card to me, more suited for a sideboard.

Maybe Thought Scour instead of Brainstorm. Same cost, you draw a card instaed and you also mill to get faster Jace upgrade

You got 12 counterspell, but nothing really to deal with a permanet once it's out

How about a glimpse the unthinkable that mills ten for u/b, and I do believe you should cut back on the dark rituals it doesn't appear there is enough black to make it function efficiently. I will agree though about the trap it does seem like its only good against combo based decks. As for a dark ritual replacement I would recommend Swans of brynn argol, it's really great for mill strategies considering it can't die from combat damage and punishes opponents for damaging it. And as for permanent removal boomerang. If you would like to give me some advice on this it would be most appreciated.

Ok, lots of good feedback. I'm going to look up those cards and move the Archive Traps. I'll make adjustments. Please let me know once I have what your thoughts are.
As for the Glimpse, I am trying to keep my feet on the ground price wise. They are pretty costly. If I can find them for a fair price, I will add them.

Snapcaster looks good too, price may be an issue for it though. Going on my wishlist.

So I added boomrang, removed psychic strike as it was a 3 cost vs a 2 cost. I added the swans.

I had the Dark Rituals in for the early Aberration or a solid mind grind early in the game. Also, what do you guys think about shifting the Jace Memory Adapts in? I love them but I feel like I would be slowing down the deck a bit.

Added ghost quarter to trigger the archive traps. Not sure how I feel about it yet but it seemed like a fun idea.

Ok, I just added this to the unloved section after making a few revisions. Feedback is good. I am trying to be affordable but I am willing to consider some higher end cards. I
