Broken Mind (Modern)

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (8 cards)

Artifacts (1)

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 defender mill deck I built recently. Mills your opponent until their library is empty and you win the game.

If you are wondering why I have random single cards types, its because these are the best that I own. I did not add any cards that i do not currently own.

Looking for suggestions on how to improve the deck and what to add to the side board.

I'd like to make this modern worthy so I can enter it in a Friday Night Magic at some point.

Sideboard is currently filled with cards I would like to get to replace some of the ones I am currently using. Will redo sideboard once the deck is complete.

How to Play

Turn 1: Land, Tome Scour if you have it
Turn 2: Land, Doorkeeper OR Murmuring Phantasm
Turn 3: Land, Curse of the Bloody Tome OR another defender OR Ashiok OR Start milling with your sorcery cards
Turn 4 and on: Summon more defenders and use Doorkeepers ability and continue milling with your spell cards

Save Grisly Spectacle for when they summon a power heavy creature

Ashiok is best used as a free mill each turn and to bring exiled creatures under your control. Only use her third ability if your opponent is casting a lot from their graveyard.

Just as a note, I might be swapping one or two of the cards out for a Wall of Frost I found. Any advice on what to drop for it?

Will be play-testing this deck tonight and this weekend against a number of different decks. I will post my results.

Last nights game went decent. It was against a White angel/control deck. Ended up getting the opponents deck to 11 cards before their angels killed me. Didn't draw a single Hover Barrier so they just kept flying over my walls and poking me down each turn.

Thinking I may need to add some creature removal/counter spells. Anyone have any ideas as to what cards to use?

this deck needs more aggressive milling cards. I feel it might be too slow

Which cards would you suggest?

I recreated the deck to make it work better with the current Modern meta. You can find that deck here: http://www.mtgvault.com/slayus/decks/broken-mind-20-modern/
