Deck discussion for U/B Control - Exile/mill

Counterbore, Eradicate, and Quash may not be the most efficient spells but the fit they fit the theme. Also Shimian Specter has the same effect but stapled to a creature, so it could possible be of interest to you.

I don't know why this site disagrees, but Dig Through Time isn't legal in Modern...Sphinx's Tutelage can win games, so good call on including it. I don't play mill at all, but it's my understanding that to use it as a win-con, you have to do it fast...Wickeddarkman is like the guru of Modern mill on Vault, so if you want any guidance in that area, I'd check out his stuff. Thanks for the deck!

Use digs since its mainly for casual, ill just change em out with something if i need to make it modern legal. Its mainly a control deck and i have mill for win con instead of a big creature. Also possible to win with Ashiok and grabbing one of their creatures i suppose. Thanks for checking it out, and ill look out for the gurus decks and see if i find something cool :)

Add one more land to make it very reliable on mana.
I once did a lot of experiments on how many lands I would need to hardcast archive trap.
I use a special method to analyse amounts involved (Paperstrips!) And results were 25 lands.
Since you use a lot more 5cc than I did, 25 mana will be really important...

Yea, i figured i might need to add another land. Would another Nephalia work, or do i need colored mana? Also need to find what to cut :/
Thanks for checking it out!

I have gotten used to letting paperstrips decide my builds these days, so I can only advice you to try it out on both of your questions.

When deciding what to cut:
Put a paperstrip in each cardsleeve of a card you think you can cut. Then play a lot of games. Try not to use these cards for as long as possible, and if you can't stay alive without using a card, give it a smiley for keeping, and if you managed to win without using a card give it a sad smiley for cutting.
Soon you will see that one of your picks will have more cut's than keeps, and once a card is exceeding happy smileys with 5 sad ones, cut the card...

What land to chose:
Use the sleeve of the card you've finally cut, then put in a blank card and a paperstrip where you write deceit, island swamp and nephalia.
Play a lot of games, but instead of the usual 7 cards in an opening hand you draw 6 and always start with the paperstripped land in hand. Carefully study your hand and decide which land it would be best to have during each opening hand. Give each choice a smiley whenever you decide. Sometimes you need to look at your topcards in the library to decide your pick, just be consistent in your choice of methodology every time.
