While i do understand that Sadistic Sacrement can be useful, especially with Eldrazi's out, i'd never consider running a 3 black mana card in a 2 color deck that require quick milling. Especially if you don't play any kinds of fetchlers. Nemesis of Reason is far superior to it for this deck in terms of efficiency. Also, i'd sideboard the Archive trap, if your opponnent doesn't search his library at all, it's 13 cards in the graveyard for 5 converted mana cost. Tome scour is 5 cards in the graveyard for 1 mana.

I'd also suggest running less Haunting Echoes, the chances you'll draw more than one are high with 4 in the deck, and after the first one, well, it's really not that useful anymore (if you didn't win already).

Finally, to me, Deprive is a better card than Dispel and/orEssence scatter. The reason being that it counters anything and that it returns a land to your hand, which makes a good synergy with the Hedron Crab later on when you have no lands in hands.

Nice deck though, i like it.

yea thats what I forgot for my counter spells, I was thinking of others but thanks for reminding me! also I probably should sideboard archive traps in so I have a 60 card deck. However I put the haunting echoes in so when I sadistic sacrament I can just remove all eldrazi that would come back. Then thats where the keening stone/ traumatize run on in to mill em down to zero. thanks for the info though!

I like it, it4s not a super quick mill deck though, so I probably wouldnt take out ur walls unless u can replace them by essential mill cards that guarantee say a turn 5 win

definitely sideboard Archive trap which u did, so great

as every mill deck out there its vulnerable to hand removal and eldrazi so be aware of that when ur playing, maybe add a duress or 2, it gives u more value than dispel in my opinion, cause it allows u to anticipate opponents moves and lets u discard his essential non creature non land cards

maybe splash bloodchief ascension with some damage spells just to give ur opponent one more thing to worry about
if hes not able to take it out, one mind funeral is enough to win the game

finally, I would keep the haunting echoes as they are, its the best mill card out there for standard imo together with mind funeral, not a big fan of nemesis of reason, which I never run, cause if u havent milled ur opponent that late in the game ur probably dead and it4s too easy to remove him for opponents

hmmm I wasnt thinking duress because its not really true super mill, nemesis costs the same amount as haunting echoes/traumatize/archive trap/Keening Stone so I probably will keep it in.
