Deck Description

Thought up this deck when I first looked through the spoliers for Origins a while a go and my I eye was drawn to a particular card: Sphinx's Tutelage.
Unless my understanding of the rulings is off Tutelage is basically the lovechild of Jace's Erasure with Grindstone correct? if so it seems a pretty powerful mill card (for standard at the very least).

Once Courser/Eidolon cycle out I'll switch into +1/+1 counter creatures with Inspiring Call/Shamanic Revelation to replace the current enchantment/mana dork engine; however for those who might like a more aggro deck then the +1/+1 option may be your gateway into mill.

Green aggro mill.... that just sounds weird.

How to Play

Just mana-ramp into draw engines and unlike many decks where draw leads into win-cons; draw IS the win-con here.
If you have Archive, Tutelage and Eidolon down, you'll mill for 64 when you cast an enchantment (minimum) plus the 8 at the start of turn (again minimum).

Just keep counters back for things like Back to Nature or other removal spells.

If you can turn 3 cast Talent of the Telepath vs blue then do so, it's always fun to grab a Dig Through Time/Treasure Cruise; also pretty strong play too.

Deck discussion for An Enchanting Thought

I don't know if this will be helpfull or not, but archive trap + fertillid is one possible addition to this deck.
Fertillid is the only card in magic that allows you to activate a forced search, so is perfect with archive trap.
Fertillid may also act as a beater.

Unfortunately it's not legal in standard so it's a no-go for now.... although if memory serves me right Archive Trap was in Zendikar and Battle for Zendikar will be coming soon sooo...... maybe it can be an inclusion soon.
