Deck Description

Deck using the new mill creature, Persistent Petitioners.

Tried to pick some protective pieces for support, but also take advantage of as many aspects of the petitioners as possible.

Ephara and Mentor of the Meek can draw. Devout Chaplain gladly accepts Petitioners as her pals. The mill deck also seemed like a perfect place to try out Spurnmage and Pulsemage Advocates, since there will a lot of (situationally bad) cards in the graveyard to return and they work even better in multiplayer.

The deck, however, has a dilemma with Rest in Peace. A card that would otherwise fit a white splashed mill nicely, but has problems with the Spurnmage/Pulsemage Advocates, Hanna, Codex Shredder and Undead Alchemist. With Mesmeric Orb I will also be doing some self milling and those cards going to exile is pretty bad.

Should I just drop the plan to include Rest in Peace? Got any other suggestions?

Well, I don't think most decks plan against that, unless coincidentally land recycling is one of their decks main things. That said, Persistent Petitioners are only 2 mana.
If I had more consistent ways of getting Mesmeric Orb (which mills myself too), I could run something like Crucible of Words to get more lands and coincidentally have a plan for land destruction too.

I don't really play edh, actually, but I've always wondered this. LD seems OP 1v1. Are sideboards commonly allowed?

I bet some use them, but if it's just kitchen table play, no one bothers. Grand Abolisher here is more like a "maybe" card for the mainboard, since it could prevent opponents from doing anything when Thrumming Stone hits the board.
