Blue Splash Black Mill/Control

by Silveryn on 30 April 2010

Main Deck (77 cards)

Instants (8)


Planeswalkers (1)


Land (30)

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

A first draft at a control/mill deck with blue splash black, aimed to run in Extended.

The idea is that there are multiple mini-combos in the deck. A carefully timed Perplex + Lurking Informant can cause complete hand lock-down, Wall of Frost and the counters create a defensive layer, Ponder and Archivists cause draw advantage, and Hedrons, Nemeses, Mind Funeral, Tome Scour, and Haunting Echoes mill. Haunting echoes is to be played late-game for maximum effect.

Not certain about even keeping Lore Brokers, but they might be useful if I need to get a card out that is crucial.

This is a first attempt at building a mill deck, and while I know they are not extremely popular, they looked like fun to play.

The reason I lack dual lands is because I am on a slight budget, and cannot really afford to be popping playsets of cards that cost £5 each. Otherwise I'd have Glimpse the Unthinkables in there as well.

Advice would be greatly appreciated.

Deck discussion for Blue Splash Black Mill/Control

Hey nice deck good to see someone playing mill, i am currently browsing mill decks trying to make one for a bet, anyway i would try to cut down to 60 cards as it makes it easier to pull cards you really need. there are some cards i have to recommend but... the names have slipped my mind (sorry) when i remember them i will post them.

Thing is I have draw advantage cards in there to counteract the fact that the deck is 77 cards. I know of some cards that are better than the ones I have, like Jace Mind Sculptor instead of Beleren, or Glimpse the Unthinkable instead of Tome Scour, but the prices for them are ridiculously high. Cheapest Glimpsex4 I can find are going for 36 dollars right now on ebay, which is more than I can afford in my destitute student life. :P
