Look up my project highlander on my second last page.
You can use the manacurve there for an extreme speed.
Its filled with attack lands.

You can see how I apply the manacurve by watching the decks I've tagged with highlander

I often wonder what it is that separate casual from competitive in others

For me it was a friend that forced me.
You see, I trained him to be competitive, and one day he came up to me and said I was the laughing stock of the local store, because I was the worst player in magic history.

I look at the register that back then actually covered everyone, and saw that I was actually at the bottom of the list of all registered players in the world.

He then pleaded with me at how he knew I was better than them, because I made him what he was.
He told me he was tired of hearing them laugh at me.

And so I made myself competitive.

I managed to become the 324 best out of the top 10000 in denmark.

I did however become the laughing stock anyways, because I have a very different view on how magic works, and I wanted to share it. Few understood the basics of it and most people still don't get it.

But through all the laughter I just kept rising.
At times I launched insane projects like taking on legacy with commoncards.

Eventually I got quite a bit of fame out of it.

One time I dropped in unannounced on a tournament and they gave me the innovation price just because I was showing up, because all my decks are innovative :)

You should try out tournament life with your friends just for a week, it will change how you look at things :)

It's more rakdos, kind if you count the sb.
It's at the bottom of their newest fish tank article.
It has a red elemental and a black vampire.

It only has green to play assassin's Trophy.

I've been playing with it for a while and listed 10 reasons to play it in mill and other decks.
The key is to have a smaller deck for a higher impact, so it's best late in the game.

It's also the only killcard for infinite blue mana that can rescue the infinite parts so it readies itself for the kill.

I'd love to see it in a Walk deck (full of timewalk like spells)

The minus effects are better.
Stream of thought will enable you to cast more of them than aid the fallen will at the price of time.
The longer you can stay alive, the more powerfull stream of thought will be.
It can also reshuffle itself, giving you a loop.
Maybe a mix of aid the fallen and stream of thought.

Good idea with slitherhead finks, so keep that.

Only getting the upvote effects of planeswalkers is a bit tame.
Is there any card that blinks planeswalkers?
Or maybe a card that prevents sacrificing stuff?

If not, then I can suggest you add stream of thought instead of aid the fallen.
Use it to selfmill, then reshuffle any planeswalkers or other stuff you want.

Possibly rename the deck "plainbound streaming" :)

I really like this idea, simple but possibly effective.
I'd throw away see beyond and 4 slitherhead to add 3 sage of Epityr and 3 carrion feeder.
That would allow for more combinations, like sacrificing matter reshaper when you have skab ruinator on top.

Hmm, there are a lot more of allies since I last saw a deck with the mill-ally.
If many allies are rogues then ally rogue mill might be possible.

Also there's a new heartless summoning storm deck at mtggoldfish
It plays no rest for the wicked.

I had my first breakthrough with the design today.
Broke the back of merfolk, one of the 4 must beat aggrodecks I've set out to beat.

You could aim at having 1000 comanderdecks at the end.
How competitive are you within the format?

I've put up the deck without the mana. It has a lot of fetchlands and duals so it's vulnerable to the moon.

It's been copycatted already. 4th place out of minimum 9. (Unknown amount of players)
It's mainly dredge, but I guess it will be nice against combo too.
It's problem will be when the meta returns to main board relic of progenitus again.

I also expect to see someone include stream of thought into it, as it's perfect for the deck.

It's something about bloodlines or descendants, picture of little girl and others.

And read ;)

I'm at that point too.
At least I know my mill.
At the moment I'm monitoring modern to play mill again, and I usually play surgical extraction, so I need to know as many playlists as I can by heart.

Right now for example some Japanese have restructured dredge into some mil/selfmill hybrid and gotten 3rd out of 50. And someone else has won with it as well. 4th place out of minimum 9 people (unknown number of players)

Funny thing is I recently predicted that this is the perfect time to play mill.

You probably know the cards in the meta.
At my own peak I memorized all relevant cards in the game. At that time it must have been between 10.000 to 15.000

At the beginnings of magic I even memorized the flavour text, until fallen empires where they began to give cards different art and text. It somehow disrupted my memorisation.

I could tell a player to pick a card with flavour text and read it out aloud and then I'd tell them what card it was.
I could have earned a fortune if I thought of it at the time ;)

Have you seen the new dredge selfmill by ookita akito from japan ?
Third place out of 50.

It's a pretty interesting idea, but I think it would take practice to know when to selfmill and when to go for the opponent.
Infect would rip it appart though.

Duh, "ragons" ofcourse. Dragonlord was sort of a blunt hint of it.

Theres also a green enc costing 2g that reveal your top card every turn, putting it into play if it is a type you already control.

Already is...
Especially due to miss spellings

Scryfall is also my "go to"
Mostly I just write "top" to find new millcards.

I like the way you can change a search into a "do not search for"

I used to make lots of decks, but then I got competitive and it sort of narrows down how many decks I can focus on.

So seing you try to hold back 200 decks bring back some memories.
