Deck discussion for Black/blue mill

not too bad really. it looks pretty sick. personaly out with steel sabotage in with a few mana leaks, just better uses imo. i would also drop surgical extraction and maybe one nemesis. i would add in about 2 land preferably a couple of dual lands and maybe move ur mana from being even to a little more blue than black. u have way more blue spells than black. an opiton u could consider to fill the last slot is 4 ponder. it should speed up the deck just a touch. hope this all helps

Thank you for taking your time to comment and lend a hand. You are my very first comment ever, Yer I had steel sabotage in there incase of elixirs, but mana leak works better :) I like surgical extraction it has saved me countless times versing my friends decks as I can get rid of their cards they base their deck around, ( re assembling skele in my mates sac deck ) but I'll test it without it and see how it goes. Thanks again.

Alright, i saw an alara block guy in there, so if you are playing casual, here's a few suggestions. 1: swap in counterspell for mana leak, can't get rid of that guy. Second thing, you should (obviously) add in a jace. Doesn't really matter which one, they are all mill, and they are all good, but mind sculptor may be preferred in this situation. Another thing is traumatize, half of someones deck is just lethal. You could also try to get circu, dimir lobotomist in there, if you get him out on t4 or earlier, hes just lethal, getting some cards exiled instead of in the gy. I think hedron crab is almost a need for a mill deck, just because of 3 cards milled per land drop is good too, or block with him if you have to. Hope that helps a little. Reply to this if you are thinking of adding any in, but are having some issues taking stuff out.

Hi there, thank you for your comment, the deck is not standard it's just one I use for casual as you have guessed. I have swapped out mana leak for counterspell and also added in 2 circu, dimir lobotomist, unfortunately I have don't kmow what to take out, the reason why jace isn't in there ATM is that he a bit expensive as of yet, I might put him In here later in the future, I used to have herron crab in this deck before I put it on mtg vault but he just didnt seem to meld with the deck at all it was horrible, I'm hoping to also get I fair bit of mill done before I even get a chance to use traumatize so I don't see it as that good a card unless the you the way of getting it out quickly. Thats my reasoning if you have any other suggestions or reasons that I could be wrong then please say so I need all the help I can get. I'll keep thinking about what I can take out for circu.

-1 surgical extraction

For the circu, dimir lobotomist.
