Hello,I'm creating a U / B deck and the idea is to mill and control, but I think this is still very bad deck. Could you give some tips on giving cards or strategies to improve it? If the cards aren't too expensive: better. :) Thank you!

I'm all ears, or eyes in the case. : D

well first focus on deciding if this is hardcore mill to win or if its control. I'm no master, but in my opinion you can' make it some oh its a mill control thing, ya know whatever wishy washy. It should work better if you set, ok this is a control that mills to help me not kill them. I made one that mills just to buff my creatures and them I have a 50/50 Consuming Aberration unblockable f***ing you up. So decide that and get back to me :)
I think the deck would be better using the mill as complement to the control strategy. I only play for fun, so for me no matter the legality.
personally I build decks for fun too, and just throw legality to the wind. so now that you have a "theme" you pick cards to match it. Id recommend Circu, Dimir Lobotomist and Lazav, Dimir Mastermind who have some good synergy, Oona, Queen of the Fae is a cool card that i just find fun, Tricks of the Trade can be a real annoying card to deal with, Archive Trap is great to spring on people, Liliana Vess, Midnight Recovery can be a great asset, and Traumatize which if you can throw early his the best middle finger in their face. Also if oyur going to piss people off throw in Fog Bank and Wall of Frost. Hope it helps
Wow! Very useful tips, I just need to evaluate the deck not exceed my budget.
ya i build my decks by, gather all the cards that fit the deck, then narrow down what is right for the deck, then if its to expensive I sub out expensive cards for for cheeper replacements and such, and try to cut the price a bit
Yes, that's what I'm doing, I'm trying to replace the more expensive cards and the irreplaceable cards I try put one or two on the deck ...
First question would be the legality the deck should be built for, and then the budget.And, like gmitrowd pointed already out, the question if you want to use mill as winoption or as mere buff/ control and beat your opponent by e.g. beatdownGreetingsMuktol
I would take a look at some of wickeddarkman decks, as he really knows how to built mill decks. He also has writen a little primer for milldecks recently: http://www.mtgvault.com/wickeddarkman/decks/wdms-modern-mill-primer/Mill focuses on spells to remove your opponents library, so I would remove nearly all the creatures and use some strong mill-cards instead.The only creatures mill runs normally are things like "Augur of Bolas", "Hedron Crab" and "Snapcaster Mage".
Uhhh, this guy knows how to build a mill deck! My problem is the price of these letters, Snapcaster Mage is near to USD 35.00 ...
"Glimpse the Unthinkable" costs arround 20-25, the key-cards to such...specialised...decks are often rather expensive. And "Snapcaster Mage" is good enough that he is used in legacy decks, witch explains his price. You could also take a look athttp://www.mtgvault.com/muktol/decks/ub-standard-mill/ , a standard legal (M13, Innistrad, M14 and Return to Ravnica) U/B milldeck wich features rather many creatures and uses some removals instead of hardcore-mill. Orhttp://www.mtgvault.com/muktol/decks/monou-mill/ which is a monoU milldeck built around "Sanity Grinding". Of course monoU will never be as strong as U/B...
Good tips! Analyzing these decks mill / control I see that several of them are also zombie. It made me think about trying to add zombies in this deck. What do you think?
Mill zombies where added in the Innistrad block (like "Geralf's Mindcrusher") and some of them where used in standard builts, simply because there where no better cards available at that time (e.g. "Wight of Precinct Six")If you want to use zombie sin a mill deck, built an extra deck that focuses on them, but don't mix them. Standard used them (nearly) only because they didn't have access to the top mill spells and needed themselfs to buy some time, in other words, add some defenders. The advantage of having a creatureless deck is, that your opponent removalspells are dead hand cards, so adding creatures to a creatureless deck...not so good in my opinion.
Uhhhh, very good appointments. Probably I will built a zombie deck as you said.Thanks for your tips and sorry for my poor english (I'm brazilian).:)
