really cool concept
i like it

+1

Cool deck and it is actually quite funny that I made a deck including mortivore earlier today too, but my use was not milling, but brute force. :)

Only problem about the deck is that fastbond is banned lol

Have you tested out this deck? I'm not really sure about it in practice (like actual play). You can test it out by proxying all the cards and playing it against other people. I could invision Fastbond + Crucible of Worlds + Squandered Resources makes 2 mana per 1 life (which is kinda hard to pull off)

But how does this deck make good use of Altar of Dementia? I barely see any way to put stuff in the graveyard powering up Lord of Extinction or Mortivore (Dredge is good). Your basically going to play your lands like normal (which is 1/3 of your deck) and your creatures like normal (which is another 1/3 of your deck). So basically, by turn 10, you could have around 6-7 creatures and lands in play total. Yea, doesn't sound too awesome when you have your opponent beating down on you for like 9 turns.

Personally... I think a Theme Deck could build this deck. So I gotta rate your deck as horrible. But if you don't trust me, proxy this entire deck and play it against other people (I hope they don't mind you playing with all proxy cards) and see how it does.

Thanks for the comments guys. i'll respond to you in order:

Thanks Aethercraft. Very few players in my circle understand that you can sacrifice your huge monsters and still pull off a win. Plus, how many people run mill decks without blue?

This deck still has plenty of brute force, Chiligyro. I play casual 3-5 player free for all (so Fastbond isn't an issue, and I really only use it when I absolutely need mana NOW), so there are a LOT of cards in the grave by 4th turn.

Chilly, I don't need to test this deck. I own it, and it works just fine. I don;t need abilities to put creatures into the graveyard. It happens on its own. Mortivore is not the basis of the deck; Lord of Extinction is. When Squandered Resources is on the table (which happens nearly every game), the lands that go to the graveyard is what pumps up Lord of Extinction (who is a turn 3 drop with Squandered) to sacrifice to the Altar. As does Nantuko Mentor. Like I told Chiligyro, this is not a 1v1 deck. The game dynamics are different when you have 3 people to kill instead of 1. As for lands and creatures each being a third of my deck: I learned that that's how solid decks are built. That philosophy hasn't failed me yet...


I really just posted this deck to see if anyone had any bright ideas on how to improve it. I replaced 4 Dark Rituals with 4 Phyrexian Reclamations and owned the world.

I think Terravore in something like this is a much cleaner kill to be honest. Just saying.

Probably. I'll test it out next game night. I just didn't want to have to RELY on Squandered Resources that much, ya know?

yes that's why i liked the deck because i didn't know you could mill with other colors than G/B
and what's good too is that it doesn't only rely on milling you have some big creatures to win th egame on another way
and it seems a really fun deck to play
and indeed i saw directly the combo (that must be reeaaaaally fun to pull of) of lord of extinction and altar of demebntia.

the guy sitting in front of you thinking shit he's gonna crush me with that lord , but you sac it deck him out and say it's your turn : p.
and he loses

and i think some removal would be good
and maybe a card like damnation killing opponent's creatures and saccing yours to mill him out
in case some of your friends play heavy aggro

Good thinking AEthercraft. That is the exact reason why I built this deck: to catch people off guard. When there's a 15/15 on the table, most people tend to ignore everything else. With Phyrexian Reclamation out, I decked 3 people out in 2 turns.

I'll look into that removal, though.
