I can recommend you try out eye collector, mindshrieker and vantress gargoyle.
Search for the tag: wdm mill guide
From there you can read about all the cards I use in my deck called
Stream of thought mill

I'm testing against 2018 versions of affinity, infect, humans and merfolk. All these decks were stronger against mill back in 2018.

Yeah in rap, they sing anger in an angry way.
Others turn to pop to sing out the pain of the world.

Currently theres this annoying song in denmark that goes like "everyone gets broken down, get broken down with me". happy tune dark content.

At least rap is "honest"

I've always wondered a bit about how humanity loves a happy song with mournful lyrics. Or songs that make little sense when you take a careful look at them.

I wonder if it could ever be overdone, like using a kindergarten tune to sing about blood and death and many kinds of sexual assault.

The original was inaccessible.
But saw the 10 years version.
Catchy tune :)

As for the trololo song just google trololo
But be sure to hear the whole full version :)
It gives you the glee for free

I know a magicplayer who would frequently sing parts of it during tourneys.

With some changes it could become thing in the ice + ominous seas, after all cantrips would trigger both cards.

It seems like you too, noadbrush, favors the method of varying the same deck in small details.
I gotta ask you too, why not on paper? It's more "viewable".

I've only ever heard one meme song (by definition they are all memes, but I mean meme meme)
It's the trollolol song.

Blue mountain dew :) I'll dream about that. Powerade with a shine in it.

I see you move swift through a couple of hussar designs :)
I can see the advantage of puzzling through them like this, but since I've done something similar with paper in the past I was wondering if that wouldn't be the better method.

I think I had 18 decks per sheet of paper or something and could visually compare the decks all the time.
On mtgvault you have to click in and out of the decks which means you might lose some focus.

Sometimes I filled up entire notebooks with the tiniest changes to the decks, and since I'm into numbers I'd have minimum rules on how small amounts could get on certain numbers, like counterspells or discard.

I truly believe you might find paper to be a better platform for your style of deck maintenance:)

It would also help others to distinguish your singleton from the commander decks that are marked singleton.
Anyone knows a halfdeck is 30 cards, so by being tagged singleton and halfdeck you can search for the tag singleton and then look after the tag halfdeck.

Do you get the general idea ;) ?

Damnation looks like a rain of liquorice, anger of the gods is more like molten caramel.
I fail to see where the chocolate is coming from, but the deck could be named candy goblins if it has three cards with sweets. :)

So what are the rules of singleton ?
You use 30 cards, and one of each ?

Then you might be able to blend in on our halfdeck pages.
In halfdeck the goal is to build decks made out of 30 cards and then you take another 30 card deck at random and shuffle it together.

Over time the twist becomes that you must build your halfdeck to be combinable with practically anything.

We are using the tag halfdeck so feel free to add that tag to your singleton decks

That way we can have a hybrid of the two 30 card concepts.

First try to notice if anyone around you use card storage around you :)
No need to buy it if they aren't :)

And if you ever need info on mill-cards or how to fight mill, I'll have lots of tips.

There was one philosopher who lived in a barrel, because he talked about being free of property and possessions. He must have been smart though, because he was given food in exchange for his thoughts. And he's the only homeless in history remembered for his wisdom. I feel like I should know at least one of his teachings, just because he seemed cool.

A tip for your deck.
When people fight discard these days they often do it with "card storages" they use permanents that can draw them a card so they can suddenly fight back, by drawing a card, then use it while having a hand of 0. They mostly use mishra's bauble, relic of progenitus and expedition Map for lands against landde struction.
There are more than these cards out there with different purposes, but your discard deck could fight these cards by playing pithing needle. You'd have to learn what names to pin, but it would be worth it. 2 in your mainboard and a third in your sideboard if you want to try it out.

Yeah, one thing is to protect 2% of the population, another is to stress the economy of 80% of the population.
I guess more people will die from economical reasons than the disease will kill. But it is nice to see the world more United than ever, even if it's at something so stupid as this...

For a while I've promoted stream of thought to anyone who listens.
It's a really cleverly designed card with different layers of impact.

You selfmill with it, and if anything you mill is something you'd rather wanted to draw, then you get a second chance to do so by reshuffling it. Since you get to reshuffle 4 cards it's obvious that you reshuffle all the stream of thought first, then you get to reshuffle other cards like creeping chill.

Lategame the number of cards you get to reshuffle intensifies, and the less your library becomes the faster you draw the needed keycards you select, which is likely to happen with dredge.

I've posted a deck called stream of though where 15 different tricks are written about the card.

Have you considered using thieves' guild enforcer to turn bitterblossom into mill engines ?

I was a little unsure if you were Spanish or referring to descartes.

It's sort of a funny coincidence, I've just had an argument with someone who seemed to view the world through philosophical lenses, and I sort of mentioned the shadows on the cave wall that one of the philosophers used as an example, and here you are :) a shadow ghost!

I can never distinguish the philosophers, though so was it descartes or platon with the shadow cave?

Few people know it, but most ancient philosophy was flirting with the occult (in the old meaning of the word, hidden from view)

They were lovers of knowledge, but most of the knowledge they loved was hidden in ritual texts.

Labyrinthia, means a difficult rite of passage.
It got confused with the word maze over time.
