Deck Description

This is another project I wanted to embark upon in real life. Dimir mill is one of my favorite deck ideas, so making just about the best one I could and still having it be relatively cheap somehow, even though it wasn't my goal, is kind of amazing. If anyone has suggestions on how to make this deck even more godly, let me know.

How to Play

If you favor card draw over another heavy swinger, you can replace Wight of Precinct Six with Visions of Beyond. For graveyard hate against heavy graveyard-based decks, Grafdigger's Cage can be switched in with whatever you feel is most expendable in the deck. Otherwise, play cards that mill your opponent's deck down to nothing.

Deck discussion for Epic Dimir Mill

My mill deck is really spell based, I find your more creature approach refreshing. One thing i would recommend is some kind of graveyard hate. My playgroup has eldrazi and other cards that shuffle graveyard back into library. Maybe throw in a tormod's crypt. unfortunately that hurts consuming aberration though. Really depends on your meta. Check out my mill deck (trying to mill) if you get the chance.

Thanks, crisaale. My thought process behind the creature count is, if I don't have enough creatures, heavy hitting creatures could do some serious damage, especially if I try to use this deck competitive, which I am incidentally not, but still. After taking a look at your deck, I took a particular liking to Visions of Beyond, so what do you think about replacing the Wight of Precinct Six with it. What do you think? As far as graveyard hate goes, I think that whatever cards of that sort I would add should go on the sideboard, just for if I am playing against someone with a lot of graveyard interaction in their deck. I was thinking maybe Grafdigger's Cage? Just because I don't want to completely wreck the value of Consuming Aberration, Wight, and consequently, Visions of Beyond. There's even the possibility of building a sideboard specifically to splash green for Ground Seal. I think that just adding a bunch of graveyard hate into the sideboard so I can replace the previously mentioned cards just for those kinds of decks you were talking about might be the better option. Thoughts?

Putting them in a sideboard is a better option. It wouldn't take long for visions of beyond to become arrive, I would replace wight of precinct six, but I'm biased drawing cards is my favorite thing in magic haha

Nice build.

I'm currently testing the interaction between stream of thought and sanity grinding.
About 50% of the time stream of thought acts as a tome scour through adding a reshuffled card to the mix of the 10 top cards.
You have enough blue symbols in your deck to actually make use of sanity grinding. In a version with less blue symbols I've measured it as milling an average of 8 cards, with the lowest score being 6 points. The card would work at a higher average in your build if you can get the mana to generate UUU at turn 3. (Pretty doable with your mana)

Stream of thought have the added effect of adding cardadvantage to your deck, and deciding what to reshuffle will allow you to fish for more mana or more mill depending on your needs. (This has a very low impact during the first 4 turns) lategame the card gains much more impact.

The cards to remove to make room for these are tome scour and mind grind.
