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.

How long does it take to write up a 100 cards deck?
I've always thought I'd spent a lot of time on 60 cards :)

Summoner's trap in case they counter it.

Are you enjoying the summer weather ;) ?

You seem to have gotten behind with a lot of different projects.

I used to do that until I learned to focus on what I felt was a priority.

I feel I have the time for another project I always wanted to try out.

The perfect number of vanilla creatures in a deck!

Vanilla creatures are creatures with only power and toughness and no abilities.

It will be similar to my old manacurve project but with more focus on actual battle.

Once I've found the solution that manages to damage the opponent the most before dying I can treat it like the project highlander, and churn out limitless numbers of decks with the same manabase, where I cherry pick creatures for their abilities based on what the mana cost allows. The possibilities should be endless.

I might adapt my own version of it.
It would be a brilliant way to lead new readers to the "premium" articles ;)

"The best of wicked"

I did my best to spread it. It never hit the tipping point of 150 people or it would have surfaced everywhere in 2013 and been dominant today.

But considering that I've long suspected some r&d to surveil this place, it was bound to happen.
The interesting thing is to find out when it might have happened.

Since mtgvault have had a quiet time recently and jumpstart is a new thing, the time it took to produce it might have taken long enough for it to overlap.

When did they announce the code phrase of the concept ? That's usually the time they start working on the set!

It's pretty close to my project halfdeck which dates back some years.
Search for the tag halfdeck to see some. It was quite popular for a while until there was some format troubles and people lost track of it all.

It dates back to about 2012, but mtgvault got the recipe at about 2013.
Jumpstart might have been inspired by the concept.

You missed the @ in the title ;)
I still like your tag "sleevedup"
I try to innovate tags pretty often, but it's nice to see others do it.
Recently I saw user alfred use some level-tags.
I would steal the idea if it wasn't because it would blend our decks in a pile.

Wow, nice concept with level-tags ;)
That's a really cool concept.

I'm not so sure it's that alone.
Jumpstart uses the same method but has no power level increase, and canynot be played in modern.

I suspect they are making each format unique for some reason. It could be as a respond to scryings, an oldschool format format made by players, to see if they can do something similar. (Creating a highly unique format)

Yeah, I'm starting to learn that.
I wonder why they made it "illegal" in the newest formats that were supposed to use the newest cards.
Only spreads confusion.

Stream of thought has synergy with mesmeric orb.
And whether or not mesmeric orb has thrown a card into your graveyard, the means to get back ensnaring bridge, ghostquarters or Crypt incursion gives you an extreme edge in the long run.

Multiple stream of thoughts in the deck means that you have a small replay loop where your odds of drawing mill will increase with each Stream of thought you cast. You also cannot die to mesmeric orb if you keep reshuffling all of your stream of thought.

On my page: "stream of thought mill v2.2" I list a total of 10 reasons to play it.

It will be interesting to see if the copy or the original holds up.
