Within my experience with mill (5 years in modern and legacy with mill) Use a maximum of 2 lands that are forced to come tapped into play

I'm actually interested in hearing what kind of mill deck you would build for Standard and hear what kind of advice would you give on building mill decks (besides the tapped land)
Well, I've only played standard 2-3 times and probably 10+ years ago, so if I were to build a mill deck for standard on the whim, I would first see what millcards there were available. Working from there I would either go BUG with graveyard boosted critters or UB with phenax. The phenax concept seems to be the best pick, and I would base it heavily on flying creatures and support it with some other mill. For mill I would pick paranoid delusions, psychic spiral and phenax, lord of deception. (12 heavy milling cards) There would be two win-cons, either beatdown with flying creatures, with phenax and hover barrier as blockers, or by milling. There would have to be some removal, of which grisly spectacle might be good, but a faster pick in removal is also needed. In general, study what mill cards are available, what supportcards you have available (No matter how strange. Stufflike satyr wayfinder would be on my consider list for a bug-mill in standard), then study the meta, and build some proxy testdecks and work work work!
Thanks for the input, much appreciated
I'd suggest Glimpse the Unthinkable. For this deck it is plain better than Breaking.Maybe Doorkeeper over Murmuring Phantasm since it does not need Phenax on the board to mill.I also like Hover Barrier because it can block fliers. Might be an alternative to Murmuring Phantasm as well though it has higher cmc.Otherwise, interesting choice of cards. I hate Phenax since he destroyed me in BotG prerelease.Hope this was helpful ;-)Edit: I like the tags.
glimpse is more expensive in terms of money. $26 vs $1? i think i will go with breaking, especially since this is a standard deck
wow didn't see that. Somehow I automatically assume a mill deck is made for Modern. You're absolutely right of course.How about the other suggestions?
I'd put in two more Consuming Aberrations. They work so well with Phenax. they're like keening stone, but better :P
i agree completely. abberation and phenax is like the mill combo from the 9th circle of hell
If i where you id drop your pilfred plans to make it a playset of Ashioks sure hes a plainswalker but once he hits the board he is targeted i think he would do better then those when i run mill i run a playset of him and 3 jaces but then again it is what ever you feel comfy with
YEA GO BEERS!
Love the tags.No Dimir Guildmage? I know activating his ability plus playing a mill spell might seem a bit mana costly, but it's destroys multiple opponents, especially with Consuming Abberation. If you're ever thinking of making it not standard, Mind Crank makes an infinite combo with the Guildmage.
I would play only 3 Phenax, just because it is legendary, and with 4 its really probable to get 2 at time in hand and getting one stuck there
seems like fun
