Main Deck (61 cards)

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

This deck both depletes your opponents library and gives you a variance of offensive weapons! Duskmantle Guildmage and mindcrank are a wicked combo.

How to Play

Sit back and allow your low cost creatures to block for you until you can either deplete their library or hit them with a combo. Lazav makes things interesting as you send cards to the graveyard. Mindcrank combined with the effect of Duskmantle Guildmage results in an infinite loop of life and library loss.

I like to add dimir infiltrator to my mill decks for its versatility. If I need adecent blocker (1/3) I can cast him for 2 mana or transmute him to get out mindcrank or guildmage when they're the missing piece!

Two milldecks recently went top 8 in modern.

Since there were two very different designs winning, I think the cards they shared in common should be a hint towards what actually works for mill...

Here's what the two winning designs got in common:
4 hedron crabs
4 archive trap
4 visions of beyond
4 glimpse the unthinkable
3 cards giving slight card advantage (either snapcaster mage or augur of bolas)
2 cards discarding important stuff (either thoughtseize or surgical extraction)

Nice! Can you post the link, I'd love to check these decks out (the fact that they didn't include mind funeral is pretty surprising to me! It's such an efficient milling card I don't see how one can do without it in a modern mill deck)

First design is a weird aggro-mill, but it won and I like it enough to promote it.

The second deck is much more alike some designs of my own except for augur of bolas and visions of beyond.

You can also click on my name and go through my own list of mill-designs from modern and legacy. Though there is much to read. At least it's chronological in nature :)
