Deck Description

LOCKDOWN COMBOS:
rest in peace + energy field
orim's chant + isochron scepter (possible turn 2 activate with ancient tomb)

INFINITE MILL WIN CON:
rest in peace + helm of obedience

COUNTERSPELL COMBO
counterballance + sensei's divining top

TUTOR FOR COMBO PIECE
enlightened tutor + rest in peace / helm of obedience / energy field / isochron scepter / sensei's divining top / counterballance

TUTOR FOR PERMANENT EXILE
enlightened tutor + detention sphere

TUTOR FOR LAND
enlightened tutor + ancient den

im going with this infin mill win con over painter's servant grindstone because that combo is completely nullified when they have emrakul in their decks, also having a double purpose for rest in peace to make me invulnerable and win me the game is wicked

SIDEBOARD STRATEGIES ARE:
no sideboard = good all around mostly effective vs creature/damage based decks

against: SHOW &TELL, ELF EMRAKUL, CREATURE BASED COMBO DECKS
-4 swords to plowshares -4 energy field
+4 humility +4 meddling mage

against: STORM, PAINTERS GRINDSTONE
-4 swords to plowshares -4 detention sphere
+4 leyline of sanctity +4 meddling mage

against: SELF MILL
-4 detention sphere -4 energy field
+4 meddling mage +4 humility

against: NON PAINTERS GRIND INFINITE MILL DECKS
-4 energy field -4 swords to plowshares
+4 leyline of sanctity +4 meddling mage


so ya ive got myself covered against most of the highest tier legacy decks
my biggest weakness is decks that are faster, control, and surgical extraction (but meddling mage and leyline can protect me from surgical)

Deck discussion for lock V & infin mill

Deck seems very nice - solid. Only real problem I can see is Wasteland. Stifle in sideboard? I lost to a deck similar to this about 2 months ago - 2 to 1. I played Enchantress , but he got the Rest in Peace/ Helm combo out on turns 4 and 5 , never hit my own Leyline of Sanctity in time.

its been a while since ive played with this deck but i think the reason i had stifle was to counter wasteland and my opponents fetch lands which is a wondefull form of land destruction, i think i tried a deck on cockatrice with 4 stifle & 4 sinkhole as well as wasteland and it actually went over quite well because so many people only run 4-6 actual lands and the rest fetchlands
