Caw-mill

by mindslaver on 04 June 2011

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Creatures (4)


Sorceries (3)

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

It's caw blade but with mill since it's less predicable, and so I thought there isn't lot of sideboarding against this deck.

Awesome deck, best hand would be 4x Archive Trap and the opponent goes, fetchland, fetch. xP

Into the Roil seems bit absent at first. But you're planing to use it on Stoneforge Mystic I take it ;)

No, Into the roil removes pretty much everything you don't want to face, and you don't need to bump stoneforges as you will certainly draw another equipment with Jace, preordains and thin out the deck with terramorphic expanses and squadron hawks.

Besides, if I would want to bump her (not literally) I'd use unsummon.. :P

What about one or two of them Storm Crows?

Oh, and one other suggestion is not to have two Spell Pierce since you got three in the maindeck. ;)

oh too bad our fellow bird pal ain't standard legal, otherwise I would SO play him! Yeah I'll fix that

Yeah, they should make a reprint of him! That would be awesome!

Everyone is going on about Storm Crow. They remade him. In a nifty little card called Hovermyr. And you even get vigilance with the remake. why do people not realize this?

Dude let's make one thing clear; Hovermyr is NOT Storm Crow in any way. Storm Crow is far too ace to be compared to myr!

How about you look at the cards?
Similarties:
Both have flying.
Both have P1/T2.
Both cost 2 converted mana to cast.

Differences:
You have to have at least 1 U to cast Storm Crow, while Hovermyr can be ANY 2 mana.
Hovermyr has vigilance, Storm Crow does not.
Hovermyr has more, and better, support cards. Storm Crow does not.
Storm crow can be targeted by "Go for the Throat" (one of the most played cards). Hovermyr cannot.
Storm Crow is "Creature - Bird" while Hovermyr is "Artifact Creature - Myr".
Hovermyr helps fulfill the /Metalcraft/ requirement. Storm Crow does not.
Hovermyr can be used in standard. Storm Crow cannot.

Hovermyr is much more monster for your mana than storm crow is. Im not saying Hovermyr is as good as storm Crow, I'm saying hovermyr is better. Storm Crow was awsome in his time, but no more. Its cold, hard, irrefutable logic. There is no arguing with it.

Okey then how about you look at the cards? I think the major differences really is that if you look close, you can see that they both have different names, i.a "Hover Myr" and "Storm Crow"

It's fuckin' expensive, it's not legal in any formats, it's lame and it lacks finesse and tactic. It's fucking horrible and it sucks.

this might be a newb question but what is caw blade? thanks

0

Caw blade is basically Squadron Hawk + Sword of feast and famine or any other sword. It's like aggro/control and is one of major decks in standard right now. Hope this helps.

nice deck. does it work well? I feel like if someone pulled 2 Surgical Extractions on you the whole mill aspect goes away.

I hate when people don't even offer some advice before asking for us to take a look at their deck.

i apologize for angering you, if i had any advice to give i would give it but as i said above im pretty inexperienced. Another reason is that being less experienced, i have trouble seeing how the deck works. i even commmented above asking what a caw blade is because i didnt understand, and even then i had to look at it for awhile. so anyways im sorry ill try not to do it again.

I think what undeadhermit was trying to say is that there are lots of people just posting links to their decks without paying any attention to the deck they're posting commercial on.

I see you didn't know this and it's OK, I can explain further about how this work. As said, you use Squadron Hawk equipped with the sword (Sword of body and mind/Feast and famine/ war and peace) To find the swords, you play Stoneforge Mystic, which also allows you to cast it for less mana. Then you add Spell Pierce and Mana Leak for neat control, and preordain to find the hawks faster or anything you want basically. Now this is a mill version, so i run Archive Trap and hedron crab for that purpose. Batterskull is an awesome card that I also have, you could get it out on turn 3, 4/4 Lifegain Vigilance is ace!

Hope this helps, you are welcome to follow me and if you have any questions on any of my decks how it works or anything, just ask and I'll answer all of your questions!

Seachrome coasts Better then terramorphic in this case

Yes, but It can't provide 2 landfalls on one turn so I'd say they are equal

0

The problem with 2 landfalls on Turn 1 means you cannot use said land to produce mana.
Personally I would remove the [card]Hedron Crab[/card] all together as it's the only landfall card you have.
I would exchange lands to get 4x [card]Glacial Fortress[/card] 2-3 [card]Celestial Colonnade[/card] and maybe 2 [card]Seachrome Coast[/card].
This way you have the options to run a few more cards early game, have a 4/4 Flying creature to swing with if need be, aswell you could fit in 4 new cards that you don't currently have for either Mill or extra control.
Examples: [card]Negate[/card] or [card]Tome Scour[/card]

Well, your argument bursts as a Celestial Colonnade's always enters the battlefield tapped, and still doesn't create multiple landfall. Hedron Crab is way better than tome Scour in my opinion, since you'll playing 1 land each turn, it's always going to mill 3 cards for free, instead of 5 cards for one mana, that's also a card so you can't use it every turn..

If you really want to make this competitive, in addition to getting correct lands...

Cut both bonehoards and into the roil, Add Mirran Crusader (with sword it procs twice, milling 20, and can't be blocked by batterskull germ).

Then remove one spell pierce or mana leak, add another preordain.

After that, the deck could be fun to play.

Also, you really don't need jace there, unless you just want a way to help kill big jace. You're never gonna pull off a baby jace ult, as you let them draw into too many possible answers.

That's really a good advice, I used Bonehoard since it will be enourmous, and Jace as a daw engine for myself only. I can't afford 4 mirran Crusaders so I'll be playin' 2 and 2 Kor Duelist :)Take a look at it now what do you think?
