Deck Description

This is the first deck I built after a 12 year hiatus from Magic. It is a straight mill deck that is just amusing for me to play.

Deck discussion for Tilting With Windmills

Telemin Performance is a cool touch, but overcosted, especially if you consider how likely it is to only mill 2-3 cards and grab a lame 1-2 drop creature for 5.

I personally think mono-blue mill is the weakest version. Splashing black will give you access to Mind Funeral, splashing white will give you Path to Exile which is an hysterical combo w/ archive trap.

I would run something like

- 1 rite of replication
- 3 spell pierce
- 2 telemin performance
- 2 clone
- 4 island
-2 reliquary tower (this really does no good, worst case is you're drawing 3 cards/turn)

+ 4 mind funeral
+ 4 Creeping Tar Pit
+ 2 drowned catacomb
+ 1 Jace Beleren
+ 3 Negate

The Telemin would probably be better in a side board. I had an amusing game where I played a guy who did straight burn, no creatures. I cast Telemin and he was like, "That's game. I have no creatures."

I have started collecting some of the black-blue dual lands like Creeping Tar Pit and have considered splashing black into this one. I generally only play mono-color decks, but if I throw in the dual lands and just add in one or two black spells it shouldn't be too much of an issue.

I haven't thought of the Path to Exile combo at all though. That's fantastic. Especially after Twincasting the Archive Trap.

The Zendikar dual uncommon land is actually good enough to make it into most decks (Comes in tapped, but you gain one life) so there's an option until you get the rest. The only black spells I would consider for a mill deck for standard are Mind Funeral, Mind Shatter and Lilliana Vess.
