The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Deck Description

This deck can mill opponent to death turn one.

A while back I made a Hivemind deck that used Show and tTell to get out Hivemind fast for a win with
various Pact cards. Suddenly it hit me I could do the same with Leyline of Void + Helm of Obedience to mill my opponent to death.

Example Turn 1 win
1. Leyline of the Void put into play for free as it was in opening hand
2. Put in to play mana sources to cast Show and Tell and 1 extra mana
3. Put into play Helm of Obedience and activate with the 1 extra mana
4. Mill opponent to death because cards never go into graveyard due to Leyline of the Void

I do realize you could use Painter's Servant + Grindstone to do the same thing but Leyline/ Helm combo is
not vulnerable to cards like Swords to Plowshare like Painter's/Grindstone is.

Hi GuTTeRaLSLaM,

Ok why can't work. I've got lots of websites that say the combo works. Why can't it work on turn one?
I've given a step by step outline why it should work what step doesn't doesn't work?

Hey Planestalker,
I really like your deck, but I think that you have to be lucky to have all these card in your opening hand.
I know that you have Intuition but Demonic Tutor or Diabolic Tutor could be good too.
I like your idea but not sure to understand how you can have 4 mana at your first tourn (3 for Show and Tell and 1 for the Helm of Obedience).

Hi Crazyfox,

Yeah isn't not a likely hand, but it is possible. Here's how.

Opening Hand
Ancient Tomb, Grim Monolith, Lotus Petal, Show and Tell, Helm of Obedience, Leyline of the Void, 1 other card.

Put in play Ancient Tomb tap cast Grim Monolith put in play Lotus Petal tap Grim Monolith for 3 colorless
sacrifice Lotus Petal for 1 Blue mana pool now 3 U cast show and Tell put in play Helm of Obedience use extra mana to activate Helm game.
