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

A fast paced illusion mill deck that is relatively cheap if you don't include Jace. I only did because I already have 1. Coments and suggestions wanted :P

If your running venser's journal and Reliquary Tower for Jace's -7 that you'd use on yourself...don't. Doesn't seem like its worth putting in cards just for one single ability that you may not even have go off. A lot of the time you'll end up sitting on the cards with no use for them.

Since this is modern, definitely consider Sanity Grinding. You'll have plenty of blue cards to work with that.
I like the illusions, but what about the illusions has to do with Mill? Its like you're taking 2 different deck themes and mixing them together. You need to ask yourself what you're trying to do, Mill your opponent to death or kill them with damage? Once you figure that out, strengthen that portion of the deck as opposed to having 2 different ideas.

That being said, I would keep the Jace's Phantasm regardless of which way you take the deck. Always a good illusion/mill-friendly card.
