U/R Standard: Mill

by Muktol on 29 August 2015

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

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 Description

Standard legal, built with cards from the blocks M15, Theros, Khans of Tarkir and Fate Reforged

I was reading an article about a izzet mill deck that used "Sphinx's Tutelage" as main mill card. Always liking mill decks I wanted built my own version of this deck idea.
If you want a more budgetish version try to find some replacement for Jace, as he is the most expansive card in here with about 30$. An option could be using "Zephyr Scribe" instead.

This deck exists only on this site and has never been played against another deck. Regardless I'm open to all suggestions and ideas that may help to improve this deck.

How to Play

The main mill source here is "Sphinx's Tutelage". Having no real 'search enchantment' spells you'll have to use simple draw spells to find this card.
After it hit's the battlefield things should go pretty fast. For every card you draw your opponent has to put 2 cards from his library into his graveyard. If they're nonland cards and share a colour he has to repeat this process. A mono-coloured deck is in real danger and even multi-coloured decks can be beaten fairly easy with this strategy as we are only playing spells that allow us to draw 2+ cards.

Deck discussion for U/R Standard: Mill

Yes, a UR tutelage deck placed 1st at GP San Diego. That was before rotation, but that particular deck didn't utilize much from Theros block or M15, so I'm thinking there's still enough to support the concept in Standard. On another note, I've viewed a number of your decks at this point, & have to say I appreciate how well thought-out they are, as well as your well-done description/how to play sections. From what I gather, there's quite a few new players who use this site, & I'm sure your own tutelage is something that's appreciated. ;) +1.

Thank you for the roses :)
Sadly I don't have the time to test all those decks I design here and if I get the time to play (and test) with friends decks like discard, mill, infect or burn are not really every one's favourite opponents.
