Hug them in to false security while hiding behind your defenders, then float as much mana as you can, decree of pain the field and draw cards for all the creatures on the field. You will want to play as many creatures as you can before hand, hence the Dryad Arbors and the Forbidden Orchards Drop Jace's Archivist, equip him with Pemmin's Aura and some hasty boots, and MAKE THEM CRY. Library of Leng ensures you always have the perfect hand when using Archivist. Dryad Arbor and Forbidden Orchard provide extra food for Decree of Pain and Dryad mana accells with Green Sun's Zenith. Vesuva can copy Forbidden Orchard and Dryad to create yet more noms! Decree of Pain combos with Jace's archivist for your mill win con. The idea is to float all your mana beforehand, then destroy as many creatures as possible (including your own) and use your floated mana to play what you need from your hand and the dozen or more cards you will draw from Decree of Pain. Hasty boots can ensure that you are able to tap creatures as you play them, bouncing from creature to creature as they come in to play. Green Sun's zenith can also bring out Overgrown Battlement and Axebane Guardian for some more mad mana acceleration and great defenders! Axebane Guardian provides tonnes of blue mana for you to float when your combo is ready (you will need at least 4 blue in order to play Archivist + Aura, then two more each time you tap and untap it). Primal Command finds any creature you may need and also ensure you don't mill yourself out (a deadly possibility) while providing spot removal for annoying things. One All is dust and Fracturing Gust as backup insurance, they'll cycle back in to your library with Primal Command for multiple uses. Don't worry about destroying your own permanents, again, Primal Command will bring them back and you should have a fat hand to cycle through anyway. Myojin of Night's Reach in sideboard if you want to make people hate you. I'd swap it for All is Dust and/or Fracturing Gust. It will survive mass creature destruction. :) Also, I never use infinite combos, but Pennim's + Axebane can become infinite mana very easily. I only ever use Pennim's on Archivist though, because I'm not a fan of infinite combos. I playtested it. Yes, this deck, EXPLODES. Note: Be very careful to keep track of mana! It gets really confusing! Generally, for the finishing combo, you need 2 black, and as much blue as possible, then float green in order to pay for any colorless mana costs! Yay for my first mill deck! Yay for my first wall deck! Yay for my first hugs deck! Yay for my first mass creature control deck!

Hello Beo, Want to hear my 2 cents here? I loved the idea, but I think you got REALLY carried away. Black shouldn't really be necessary, and here's why. You are using Decree of Pain to draw cards and thus make the Archivist more effective. But first off, how do you save your own creatures? And second, isn't it too much? This is what I'd do. Put in Stroke of Genius, make the opponent draw like 8 cards. Then start with the Archivist. If you got enough mana, you don't even have to worry about milling yourself, because the opponent would have the cards of Stroke of Genius already. Hope this gave you some ideas. Ciao :)

Great advice and explanation! I'm sure it would work well but here is my explanation for Decree of Pain. I designed this deck to deliberately sacrifice all my own creatures. I'll play decree of pain after I have an archivist both on the field, and in hand, then draw cards for all the creatures i kill, including my own. I can play the second archivist easily and give it haste with Greaves. This isn't a problem because with this deck I easily float around 20 mana before I destroy all my creatures. My opponents may play some creatures on their turn, but their creatures will not usually have haste, so that buys me two turns of not being attacked. That or they can try to use spells to deal with my creatures (often shrouded), which spends their mana and and inhibits their playing other permanents to make up for what they are lacking. All of this is imo well worth the loss of my creatures, a loss I can easily make up for. Your way, unless I mill them out right away, I still have to deal with all of the creatures they have already played on top of spells from their hands, which would usually mean me dying. You're def correct that the deck is eccentric, but it's meant to be. Thanks for the great thoughts!
And as always, thanks for a great comment on my deck! Your comments are gold Razka!
Well, for the way I thought it, you wouldn't even need to worry about enemy creatures, because that kind of combo kills you in one hit lol. It inspired me to make my own deck based on this idea, be sure to drop by one of these days and check it out :) I'm glad to be of service, and don't worry, you helped me a lot in the past too, it's the least I can do. :)
