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

Standard deck that uses Hedron Crab, Archive Trap, and a host of friends to mill your opponent.

I know there are powerful milling cards in black too (Haunting Echoes, Mind Funeral, etc.), but I wanted to stay in two colors.

Other potential cards are Telemin Performance, Memory Erasure, Oblivion Ring, or Journey to Nowhere.

Condemn is a great card, though I would choose Swords to Plowshares first. Since I want to keep this deck standard legal, neither card would work. Thanks for the suggestion, though, and keep 'em coming.

Aha, I see the Path to Exile in there. What a beast combo.
Path to Exile + 4 Archive Traps = 52 cards milled. In addition, the 7 cards they draw, plus the one they drew. GG. :D

Excellent deck, no doubt no doubt. +1 for you!

Since it was too slow, I removed the Ior Ruin Expeditions in favor of a playset of Ponders. We'll see how it plays.

turn two land mill three another crab... turn three... plains mill six so thats 7+1 or 2, +9 and then u use path and a twin casted archive trap thats 9+9+26=44 Cards most of which are most likly land and that means if u go first then if u draw a land next turn draw saying u went second that meens u have one more card and u draw either a tome scour or a crab then last card in hand is a land thats another either 9 or 11 so that means they have 5 more cards in there deck so im seeing between a turn three-5 game win on average

The only problem I run into is when my opponents decide to not search for the land from the Path, but this only really happens in Vintage play. In Standard, there is a ton of land searching (Terramorphic Expanse, Harrow, Fetch Lands, etc.), so I typically cast the traps for free.
