Deck Description

Saw a U/W fog deck and got the idea to add mill to it.

How to Play

Get out some mill, and start fogging every turn. Basically, don't die until you can mill them out.

So I run turbo fog and you have some nice key cards like howling mine but you need more like temple bell and dictate of kruphix your board wipe should be a supreme verdict if anything but you shouldn't need it one copy of tutelage is good take out the curse and the rest of the tutalages I wouldn't cut the number of board wipes down to 1 or even none another consideration is terminus angel song and aether I've are pretty weak for what you want so you want ethereal haze can stop certain combo and also stops combat and holy day is the other basic fog and you have to have angels grace stops u losing obviously but end of the deck list u should have 12 turbo effects howling mine etc 16 fog effects the silence combo 1 copy of elixir and 1 tutalage and then 22 land u only need 1 reliquary b tower and you should have playsets of glacial fortress and port town the rest as basics or have a man land aswell as an extra win con

Okay, I fixed it up a little based on your suggestions. Switched my wipe for supreme verdict, and the bloody tome for more draw. I don't like the idea of dropping the mill card to 1 copy, because then if you don't get it, you're kinda screwed. I still feel like the deck needs more draw power, but I think I can't drop any more, otherwise the deck gets a little iffy. But thank you for the help!

The mill cards is making them draw cards you don't need to have them mill you just make them draw cards and as they can't play them they get screwed I would honestly just stick with draw and take mill out of it cause against an emrakul it just stops you killing them whereas drawing doesn't I used to just go plain mill but the amount of times an emrakul screwed me over was unbelievable cause u can have them down to one card left mill them and it's an emrakul and they are back to fourty cards in the library take them out for temple bell and the deck will ultimately be able to face a lot more than you think

It's called slow MILL for a reason. If you want to run a fog deck, then yes, just making themselves draw out is perfect. The point of the deck I built is to MILL them. It uses fogging to survive, and that is it.

How will you win if they hit emrakul each time that's all I'm saying it just makes it worse if your gonna go with mulling then it's also gotta just be plain out fast like blue black mill so you can extract the emrakul but ok if your going with a slower kind of mill you will definitely need to change what fogs you are using cause holy day is always better than angel song and if they try to kill you another way then angels grace is even better but puts you in bolt range but stops you dying for one turn at least you could also run jace memory adept he's good at milling ten cards a turn

Well yeah, this deck is pretty much screwed against Emrakul. There's no denying that. But if you do run into an emrakul, just revert to old-school tactics, stop milling them. No guarantee it'll work, but hey, you're screwed otherwise. Personally, I think I like angel song just a little better, just for the cycle, cause if you have a scepter with a fog out, then there's no point having an extra in your hand, so best just to cycle it.

U can't stop milling them tutelage isn't a choice you have to mill them which is why it's bad you may aswell be going with the fast blue black mill and yeah de I see the merit in being able to cycle it but you can then die to combo like the Melira combo ethereal haze stops that and combat damage and with the amount of card draw it shouldn't matter about cycling

You just sideboard the mill for something else in the 2nd game, that's how you stop the milling... Okay, yeah, cycling is weak, but still some card draw... if you just need to stop combat damage, then angelsong works, but yeah, I can think of some situations where just stopping damage works...

I've always liked Walking Archive in my UW fog decks. It's a Howling Mine with legs and a decent mana-sink for the late game. Although, Dictate of Kruphix didn't exist the last time I built a fog deck, and that seems like a better card.

Thats actually a decent card... but idk if there's room mainboard. I'll switch it for terminus in the sideboard for now.
