Hit them often and don’t let up until their deck is gone.

The only black card you play is glimpse, I would just add hedron crab or something else to make it mono blue and take it out.

It's one of the things I usually mention when talking about how mill has a weak mana base.Most mill has black mana as sideboard and therefore focus on having blue lands.Any landdisrupting deck can target the black lands to prevent the sideboard from being usefull.This happens a lot to designs that also try to run field of ruin, shelldock isle and other special lands.
In your eyes all fast paced decks (Except some monocoloured) have a weak mana base
I could see how you would believe that, but no, some decks have extraordinary mana, except mainstream mill.
How much of each mana does a deck need to be consistent?
I stick to the belief that a deck will need 12 cards that can get it at least one type of mana, and this applies to each color. (Fetch lands and duals can count as several of these). There are extreme exceptions, but my view on mana has been holding since modern began on a majority of decks.If blood moon enters the equation, 5 basic lands of each color in the deck is the preferred minimum.I have met very few pro decks that couldn't be improved on the mana base.Most of the time, when you see a pro list, you will likely see that the list is more or less just the same deck except for the lands. The real pro decklists never feature the same mana because the pros always deviate in what should be played at a higher priority, and this flavours their manabases a lot.Also since very few pro players build their mana by statistics and mass scale trial and error they tend to build up their mana in a touchy-feely kind of way that increases the differences in the mana that their decks list.I'm done with the arena red builds. I'm thinking of taking on blue as the next color.
Some decks won’t function with 12 lands, and have no way to produce one of their colours
I quote from above "there are extreme exceptions"I sorta knew you would play it out like this.You've been gas lighting me a lot lately.
That’s not really extreme, there’s an entire archetype for it
