Modern: The Manipulator

Thanks for the links, they do seem very fast and focused. This deck was originally a build around cosi's trickster and evolved into an exiley controlish deck that utilizes mill and results in super efficient creatures.

I usually play creatureless mill, but your creature mix seems interresting. Especially the trickster-part as path, and the extractors force a shuffle out of the opponent and all 12 fits mill.

Does the trickster grow fast enough to resist lightning bolts? Do you wait with the surgicals to boost it if someone tries to burn it?

How about remand?
Do you think it could replace azorious charm? (remand + surgical/extirpate is a very nifty move)

How does your deck fare in general on the tournament scene? (What are your best/worst matchups)
This is one of the best creaturesupported milldecks I have seen so far. Soo much synnergy.

I can recommend that you try to toy a bit with noxious revival in your deck.
Noxious revival can first of all let you use the biggest millspell in your grave, or let you reuse some removal or whatever.

Noxious revival also fights combo by letting you put a useless card on the top of their library at a critical point of their comboing, and it fights stuff like reanimator by doing just the same thing.

If you design your sideboard and have noxious revival in your mainboard and deign it from there, you can minimize your sideboard in whole new ways.

There are plenty of decktypes that suffers when noxious revival is involved. Tron wont be happy when you ghostquarter an urza-land and then noxious revival the ghostquarter back on top of your library :D

Try it out :D

i havnt actually played this deck, i have about half the cards for it IRL. I seriously think it could do some major pwning in a tournament though. Thanks for bringing up noxious revival, i hadnt really thought about it for this deck, but with so much synergy, how could a deck like this not want to use it hehe.

Well, I've seens seriously many mill-decks, and this is the only creaturefilled mill I've ever wanted to play with just by looking at it. It looks very very tough. If you haven't played it, you should aim forward to do just that, as I think it can be competitive!

If it doesn't work in the form it had when I first saw it, then I have so many alternate directions you can try instead :D

I can see several ways to build this deck differently!

But you should play it before you change anything else, then report on how it went!
Proxy if you have to, and force your friends to proxy good modern decks too. Play it in a serious setup...

Definately, I will! Thanks for all the knowledgable feedback.

No problem. If you have the time you can go through my milldecks and scout out what I've played with and why. The oldest decks are the most detailed. The best one though is the fast reliable modern mill.
