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

Suggestions are welcome!

How to Play

All you need to win is having Paradise Mantle attached to Puresight Merrow and
Laboratory Maniac. Then mill yourself and win game. With some luck it's 4th turn win.
Also you can search your library for Paradise Mantle with Trinket Mage and for Puresight Merrow with Muddle the Mixture. Enjoy :)

Deck discussion for Budget mill

I really like this deck. There are only 2 problems I foresee. The first is that the Laboratory Maniac combo only works when you next draw a card. Milling doesn't count as drawing, so you would need to wait until you played a card that allows you to draw, or wait for your next draw phase. The second is that since your combo requires 3 cards, you will want to have the ability to draw cards and filter through your deck faster to get the cards you need (Trinket Mage and Muddle the Mixture help this a lot but not quite enough). Both of these issues require you to have the ability to draw cards. So I have come up with a couple of suggestions that can help this deck out quite well, while still sticking to the main theme (they are also budget cards).

Glimpse the Future - 3CMC Sorcery - Look at the top 3 cards of your library. Put one in your hand and the rest in your graveyard.
Magus of the Bazaar - 2CMC Creature - Tap to draw 2 cards then discard 3 cards.

I would suggest removing Peek and Shelldock Isle. There are several other cards you can add in to this deck to draw/sift through your deck to get the combo you need, but I felt like the 2 cards I mentioned also helped with the milling factor. If you want any other ideas, let me know.

Just some thoughts :)
