A milling idea

by MTGNoob1515 on 11 September 2010

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

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

This is a deck i just made. It was the "Levelers Scorn" intro pack, but i didnt feel that that deck accomplished much. Either that or I didnt get it. :P

In any case i decided to make a mill deck from its remains. The main combo here is using Jace's Erasure to make my opponents discard cards as i draw cards with the other cards in the deck. I wanted to have Leyline of the Void play more of a part in this but i only have one copy of it. (I only have one copy of alot of cards if you couldn't already tell.)

One flaw I've seen immediatley is the fact that I'm milling myself just as fast as my opponents.

Any suggestions would be appriciated.

Also my thanks to Slayerfan231 for his mana ratio tutorial.

Deck discussion for A milling idea

first off, if jace's erasure is your main card in the deck, put 4x in there and not 3.

then, go for stuff like brainstorm (mill your opponent for 3)

the trick is to get out multiple jace's erasure to multiply the milling effect. i've got a similar deck and it works great.

cards to stick in there as well.

4x howling mine
4x rhystic study
4x tome scour

and then honestly i'd just stick in a shit load of draw cards like ponder, opt, sleight of hand

and a crapload of counterspells because lets face it you'll get owned by aggro decks.

so put in 4x boomerang
4x mana leak
4x counterpell
4x snap (this one is essential)

that should do it, i guess.

for creatures, i'd stick 4x fog bank in there.

oh and don't forget to stick either:

feldon's cane or
elixir of immortality

in your deck. get all your cards back for the win.

(or just put emrakul in your deck, same effect)

Thanks for the advice, I'll be sure to get ahold of the cards you suggested. My problem is the fact that I don't have a really big collection of cards yet. I'll be sure to ask my friend for some of these and trade for them.

also, just in case you were interested, i ran through my deck of this type and found some more spells i put in there to make it run smoother:

2x traumatize (4x is perhaps too much, but it's a really awesome spell. maybe 3x would work well)
4x memory lapse (in this deck it's basically a hard counter, maybe cut a couple of mana leaks to stick this in there)

the main thing is to make sure you're drawing lots of cards. but you also need to be able to protect yourself against board threats.

final card: plumeveil. i think this one is pretty good. would fit in there well, i reckon.




if you fancied splashing black or white into your deck, try to track down the following:
mind funeral
archive trap (this one is tricky to cast. you need to force your opponent to search their library.... and the best way to do this is with Path to Exile)
path to exile (for the archive trap)
jace beleren
circu, dimir lobotomist.
perplex (can transmute into other spells in your deck which is nice)

those are all excellent cards.
