How to Play

Mill mill mill mill mill!!! This deck is pure mill. Cast your spells quick, and cast them often, using Index, Divination, Amass the Components, and Merfolk Looter to boost your draw power. The Instants are mostly defensive in nature, for countering nasty stuff an opponent might throw at you, so make sure you play conservatively with them until you can get enough lands out for your big guns. A warning: This deck tends to burn through itself very fast, so Elixir of Immortality is a vital component! If all else fails, rely on creatures: Fog Bank is a good defense against any attacking monstrosities, and if you've managed to wreck enough of your opponent's deck, Consuming Aberration has the potential to smash your opponent into the ground, especially if they have a larger deck. Jace's Mindseeker and Phantasm and Balustrade Spy bring up the rear of the creature army with their mill and mill-support abilities.

Pros:
Well-rounded, not focused to either the early or the late game
Defensive Instants and offensive Sorceries

Cons:
Not focused primarily on combat
Very weak to Counterspells

Tips:
Play conservatively in the early game: focus on your cheaper spells and make sure you save some mana for your opponent's turn in case you need to fling a Negate or an Essence Scatter.
