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

Deck centered on winning with Laboratory Maniac

How to Play

Mill yourself, use control cards and tactics as needed to keep opposition in check. Ultimate goal is to get Laboratory Maniac on the field with an empty library and draw, usually via Think Twice flashback. Alternate wins are a beatdown with the flyers.

Misthallow is great, as you can use him for the Ruinator's casting cost and still play him afterwards

Deck discussion for Maniac Mill

If your goal is to mill yourself you might want to include infi-selfmill combo "mesmeric orb + 2 x fatestitcher".
You also need to draw a card to activate the maniac, and usually people turn to street wraith and gitaxian probe.

OH SWEET!! Thanks for the combo, I had no idea that existed. As far as the draw to trigger the Maniac, I usually flashback Think Twice, as it finds itself in the graveyard rather quickly. I'll definitely add your suggestions and toy around with it for a few games and see how I like it. Thanks again for your input!

Not anyone in particular, really. I usually just play casual with friends, only competitive play I tried was a black/white exalted deck at FNM during Innistrad/Return rotation; got my shit pushed in by that moronic Thragtusk after getting early leads and almost winning every match. That Restoration Angel combo with him ended me every time. I like making decks, but I'm not good enough to be competition-worthy.

Well I used to be a casual player and just have fun. Then a friend of mine told me I was the worst ranked player in mtg EVER, I looked it up and it was true, so I got a bit more intense, and now I have the nr 314 best lifelong pointscore in denmark, and still rising. And the beauty of it all, I still use weird cardchoices nooene else would touch. At tourney's I pay close attention to what the top ranked players get and last week I was the 10th best player of the month. All it takes is dedication and will, and you can still be who you are while doing it :D If someone in your playarea always get in top, It's because the rest of the field have become defeatists! There is no greater feeling than noticing that the local meta is being shaped around you. With My current build I've keps infect, death and taxes and elves out of the meta. That forces ALL players into another metaframe than elsewhere.

Start out small by defeating 1 decktype at a time. SCR*W losses, just start changing the field enough and one day your decktype will dominate. Keep changing your deck to defeat more and more decktypes. Then you build another deck focussing on the rest of the meta, and when people scramble to adapt you start alternating between your two decks.
