Mesmeric orb is a good card on it's own, milling about 8 cards from your opponent in average in a 5 turn game, so try it out without the other cards too :)

Heh, 11 hours is not a long response :) some answers turn up after a month because some people aren't that regular in here... If the purpose of your deck is fun for both opponents, you might want to include mesmeric orb! mesmeric orb is a very powerfull card on it's own. If you drew and played 1 land each turn and played 4 mesmeric orb in a row, and tapped out every single turn, you would die exactly at your turn 7, so it's not particularly dangerous to your own deck, and will slow token-players down a bit. It will be a fun card as both players will get the dilemma of playing the cards drawn with your draw-stuff, or to atempt to let the other player mill themselves to death. It adds more thought to the battle that way, so people can't just play EVERYTHING, but has to chose what to wage war with.
Read undead alchemist again :) It's split up in two parts, and with mesmeric orb you get to trigger part two :D If a Zombie you control would deal combat damage to a player, instead that player puts that many cards from the top of his or her library into his or her graveyard. Whenever a creature card is put into an opponent's graveyard from his or her library, exile that card and put a 2/2 black Zombie creature token onto the battlefield.
In that case, why not use the blue zombieproducing zombie related to mill? whatsitsname? When you damage your opponent they get milled, when their crittters get milled you get more that will beat him. (The specifics on the card can be exploited with mesmeric orb, as the tokens get generated by any sort of mill) Mesmeric orb is used by both of the pro millers so consider using it alongside jace's phantasm and shelldock isle...
MDW! (Mill deck wins) Two milldecks have recently gotten top placements in modern. Now you know. I've copyed them onto my "page" for everyone to see. I'm WDM, and I play a lot of mill! WDM-MDW for sure :D
I've seen parts of this design before, and it's gotten weirder, but I like the alienness of it. How does it perform? Do you think summoners trap would fit in? (if they counter your crab, they pay hell) And you get the wicked newsflash as well... MDW! (Mill deck wins) Two milldecks have recently gotten top placements in modern. Now you know. I've copyed them onto my "page" for everyone to see. I'm WDM, and I play a lot of mill! WDM-MDW for sure :D
I actually like the idea. Have you ever tried the green rippling enchanment from coldsnap? It should work agressively with untargetables like silhana, and opponent's may counter the first, bit ripple still lets you get the next. Here's a newsflash: MDW!

Yo there, just poping in to tell you that two mill-decks have won nice places in modern, meaning mill is now doable! I've put the exact designs on my own "page", so go there and have a look if you wan't to try them out...
Chewy, I know you like mill! two mill-decks have won nice places in modern, meaning mill is now doable! I've put the exact designs on my own "page", so go there and have a look if you wan't to try them out...
Yo there, just poping in to tell you that two mill-decks have won nice places in modern, meaning mill is now doable! And both run mesmeric orb :D I've put the exact designs on my own "page", so go there and have a look if you wan't to try them out...
