Deck discussion for Mill

1: you are not playing lurrus, so ensnaring bridge actually belongs in your mainboard.
If you look at old decklists you will see that ensnaring bridge moved into sideboards when lurrus became mills companion.
Then as people started imitating the most successfull sideboards millers started to move ensnaring bridge into the sideboards without thinking about why they should make that move.

2: mill has had a fragile manabase since 2010 that I always try to enlighten people about. The arrival of field of ruin added new fragility to this. During 2018 field of ruin saw use because it supports archive trap, but field of ruin had unforeseen consequences. Where ghostquarter can take out tronlands or eldrazi temple the second it lands, the use of field of ruin demanded three mana present to stop the same cards. Millers have been wasted by both decks ever after because of that change.

3: fraying sanity + maddening cacophony is a neat combo, but since it demands 6 mana to pull off, it's a very slow combo that only works when you got 6 mana. As such it's only good against a slow matchup.

The overall conclusion from these three points is that aggro will run through you.

I've played mill since long before 2010 and have been monitoring it for years, noticing it's flaws.

No problem :) I could go on and on about mill, but people has limits, and I tend to overstep them :s

No, haven't had a computer for a while.
I'm on a phone.
Maybe in a couple of years though.

I mainly watch vids and play my 2018 testdecks.

Hmm, but probably not just any phone :)
I'm also a bit oldschool, preferring to game in front of a comp, but I'll google it :)

Took a look, an I can't believe how ambitious the site is.
That's just wow...
I might buy my computer faster, just out of curiosity :)

What impresses me most is actually how they managed to make it a platform for several games, and how they filled it with statistical data measurements and also made it a social hub.

I've been thinking for a while that there would be money in it for a site to extract information on which cards are being played, so sales can be more controlled.

Data on all card games is pretty awesome as a money machine, and I've been wondering for a while if "decktrolling" isn't an attack in the people who try to extract card data.

Then there's the personal data from conversations which is probably sold to the biggest data companies.

It's not gonna stop me from joining though, but I can't help thinking about how willingly we are being hearded
