Deck discussion for Legacy - Mill WIP

Hi there Tal,

Saw a comment you made on another mill deck that was almost exactly what I was going to say before I read you comment. Then I decided to look for your mill deck and found this.

I really like this build of mill. I have been trying to make a competitive mill deck for quite some time. Its not that hard if you use a combo but its very hard using pure cards meant for mill. You have done an excellent job so far and I really like the Web of Inertia interaction. I have a few suggestions for you to consider.
1st off I have found Tome Scour to be lacking and much prefer Vision Charm. Its instant speed and it can be used for minor disruption of lands or artifacts or even save your own artifacts.
2nd As much as I love Recoil for its power and efficiency you may consider a few Clutch of the Undercity. What I love about it is that you can transmute for Leyline of the void, Helm of Obedience, Circu or it can bounce a permanent and deal damage.
3rd I really love the Web of Inertia interaction with bog and Leyline but I think 4 is too risky. It can be complete lock down or you could be fueling their graveyard with cards to exile with all the mill. So 1-2 Propaganda couldn't hurt.
Good luck with the deck!
Below are my two favorite builds if you interested.

And when did Mill become a viable means of winning?

I'm just teasing. :-)

man im not a fan of mill decks, but this isnt too bad. im not sure how effective it would be in a format as fast as legacy, but those extirpates and surgicals def have potential to kill.
you pretty much have everything you need to be worried about covered so there's no much to suggest.
maybe some sort of counters or discard for matches against combo.

I've made it somewhat of a mission to make mill in some form at least playable in legacy. I've never quite got this deck to the point where I wanted it. Incremental mill just isnt effective enough, though the addition of extraction is quite an improvement.

Really I've focused most of my efforts on the various iterations of my Painter deck:

If you still play this, and have trouble with omni-show, try out chancellor of the spires, which is the only way to bypass leyline of sanctity, and then you try to extract their cunning wishes, which gives them 1-2 emrakuls as their only win-cons left...

Have your sideboard helm of obedience had any past interaction with rest in peace?

Also if you have problems with omnishow's lock of leyline of sanctity, try out chancellor of the spires which have about 41% chance of putting a cunning wish in the grave, where you can extirpate it, and then their only win-con is 1-2 emrakuls...
