The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Deck Description

Re-introducing my take on Modern Mono-Blue Mill!

The big stars of this deck are Archive Trap and Hedron Crab. Opponent cracks a fetchland? Hope they like getting milled for 13! You destroy their only dual land and they search a basic of the colour they needed? Hope they like getting milled for 13! The two Trapmaker's Snares are our fifth and sixth Archive Traps in the deck.

Hedron Crab is much more passive, but still pulls off a lot of work- especially if you ca get more than one early on!

Shout outs go to Jace's Phantasm and Mindshrieker, the guys in the sky, and Undead Alchemist, who makes chumps who chomp on brains for days. You'll rarely ever want to play the Phantasm unless its ability goes off, especially against burn, but Mindshrieker is always a fun play, and even more so when you can activate its ability more than once- and don't forget you can always use it as a desperate defensive measure, or as the Spirit Bird's final insult to injury!

Finally, Visions of Beyond is basically an Ancestral Recall in this deck, once you get the mill going for a short while.

As always, suggestions and constructive criticism are always welcome in the comments below!

*If you are made of money, you can ditch the the Trepanation Blades for a playset of Sword of Body and Mind, as they arguably give the deck a competitive...edge.*

Deck discussion for Mill U

it's a good deck, and it could be even better if you add some cards like "mind grind" or "mirko vask, the mind drinker". I know I'll be using some of the cards you have here.

Aye, I've actually got a casual Blue/Black mill deck featuring Mirko Vosk and a Mind Funeral or two...But I really cannot afford the manabase, or the playset of Glimpse the Unthinkable for that matter, to make a semi-reliable modern mill deck using both colours, haha.

If your interested, I have a grixis mill & exile deck. I mainly made it because one of my friends has a deck that lets him use his graveyard, but its still a decent mill deck.

I think you should go creature or go mill. You would have an easier time sending your casual black/blue mill to a competitive modern mill than what you have going on here. This is a good deck but its way too slow for modern. When I go to tournaments I have to deal with my buddies 4 turn goblin deck. When your mill deck can beat a deck like that it is fast enough, and I don't see that happening with mono blue.
