MILL OF DEATH (Modern)

by lobabob on 28 March 2014

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (27 cards)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

The sideboard isn't a real sideboard yet (it has 62 cards for crying out loud). The sideboard is used for other possible cards for this deck. I will update this later on with a real sideboard instead of this huge assortment of cards.

--UPDATE--
* I've removed over half of the cards I had in my sideboard before as they didn't really fit in with this deck. The remaining cards I have in the sideboard still number higher than 15, but they should all be cards you can make an actual sideboard out of.

* I've also replaced 2x mind grind with 2x mesmeric orb

How to Play

1. Play lands
2. Mill them to death
3. Extirpate/Surgical Extract all their win cons while you mill so they can't do anything.

Deck discussion for MILL OF DEATH (Modern)

Replace mind grind with breaking/entering unless you wanna play this in multi. Also add Crypt incursion, it may save your ass in many occasions.

Crypt incursion seems pretty cool, but I want to change the deck so that it mills faster instead of having a way to heal itself because it doesn't mill fast enough. As far as replacing mind grind goes, I just replaced it with mesmeric orb instead of breaking/entering since mesmeric orb seems like it would have a bigger impact on the game then breaking/entering.

I'm disappointed that you dont have the best mill-card ever!!!
Mesmeric orb is the best there is...

Does mesmeric orb apply to lands untapping? I would assume so, but I want to make sure since I'm relatively new to magic.

Just looked some stuff up, lands do count towards mesmeric orb triggering as they are permanents. So there aren't really any special rulings I need to be aware of for this which is pretty nice.

What are your thoughts on removing 3x thoughtseize for 1x extirpate and 2x mesmeric orb?

Rather remove 2 twincast and 1 damnation, then consider if you want 4 in your deck as the most successfull mill-designs use 3. I myself use 4.

This deck is the most recently modern mill to win a top-place:

And here is my own most successfull design:

If you take a look at my own stuff, you will find detailed decks explaining why the cards are there and how good they are.

Also I like your list. It's comprehensive but lacks a little bit of the more radical research. Stuff like fertilid and marelen of the mornsong has slipped through and both are sort of milling the opponent in an untraditional way. Go through some mill decks in here, and see some more radical picks, then use search enginges with some of the new keywords you will pick up...
