Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Sorceries (4)


Instants (6)

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

deck still has cards being swapped in and out but basic idea is a mill with creature control and spell duplication for big effects

i should prly remove the pyromaster but since i havent had a real playtest im gonna wait and see how it plays out

Any suggestions will be appreciated as i plan to use this in local tournaments and will post on here how it places and how good it does against the type of decks it plays against if anyone has interest

How to Play

doomblades, bolts and assassins for early control control
try to get a planeswalker out or a nemesis to start milling and then hit with mill spells and copy em for big effects if able to

Deck discussion for Modern Grinding

I can tell you that in modern, milling has recently been hot!

I can also tell you that split between two mill-decks that got top 8 they share the following cards:
4 hedron crab
4 archive trap
4 visions of beyond
4 glimpse the unthinkable
3 cards giving cardadvantage (either snapcaster mage or augur of bolas)
2 cards discarding important cards (either thoughtseize or surgical extraction)

I got the full lists on my page, (Just click my name) for all to see.

Good luck with milling your opponents to death...

Welcome back then :D

First design is a weird aggro-mill, but it won and I like it enough to promote it.

The second deck is much more alike some designs of my own except for augur of bolas and visions of beyond.

You can also click on my name and go through my own list of mill-designs from modern and legacy. Though there is much to read. At least it's chronological in nature :)

Well, try using the exact numbers that I listed above. These two decks are vastly different, so the mill they share in common must be what works within modern. Or at least, thats a theory to start with :)
