Deck Description

This is my EDH Milling deck. It is not 100% finalized as there are some amazing cards coming out with Dragon's Maze. In addition to that, I have a few cards that have been ordered but not listed here. Such as: Mesmeric Orb, Sadistic Sacrament, JunkTroller, and Tunnel Vision. There might be a few more cards that I can't remember, but these will be added within the next week or so. If you like what you see, add a comment. I would love some feedback on this. Thanks.

Deck discussion for Milling EDH

I'm not sure mill is a good idea for EDH. You have ± 92 cards to mill through where a "normal" deck only has 53. That's double a normal mill and I have yet to see a mill deck outpace other deck types on a regular basis.

That said, I think you're brave to try mill in EDH.

Who's your General?

Not to mention EDH tends to be multi-player, or at least it does near me, so you're looking at milling three people not one. Still, nice try at a deck, and it might be cool if you're just playing 1v1.

In response to DedWards, my general is Szadek, Lord of Secrets (I honestly thought I uploaded him, but didn't). As far as milling goes... Surprisingly I've pulled it off before. I do have a combo in which I can mill a full on EDH deck by turn 7. I don't have the cards in here yet as they are still being shipped by here are a few combos that have made heads turn:
Traumatize + Keeningstone (mill half deck then mill for as many cards are in graveyard... instant full mill)
Junktroller + Tunnel Vision (take one card and shove it on the bottom... since its an EDH deck, they'll only have one copy.... mill for that card)
Sadistic Sacrament + Mind Funeral, Mind Grind, or Trepanation Blade (eliminate 13 lands, then mill for 13 lands.... chances are it'll mill most of their deck, or with T blade attack each turn to keep milling)

I have been playing milling for roughly 10 years.... its my specialty. So, I figured I'd step into the unknown and see if I can pull off an EDH deck. My type 2 standard deck that I use for milling is also up on this site as well. The link is below. Usually I do pull off the mill in EDH mainly because no one ever sees it coming. Milling EDH is rare, and a challenge, and its a challenge worth it if you can pull it off :D
