Title: Fog/mill
Post by: Imdowd80 on September 22, 2012, 11:45:13 PM
What are some of the staples of a {G}{U} fog mill deck? (Besides {fog}.)
I've looked a little at some of the ones on here. Casual format.

{increasing confusion} , you have to play {giant growth} just cause you're using {fog} and they go together like pb+j. Soo many blue cards that mill these days. Blue control is always good. Maybe {increasing savagery} as well.

i disagree. Its an expensive counterspell in a deck that doesnt want creatures. Fog-effects like {Tangle}, {Terrifying Presence}, {Moonmist}. Card draw: {Rites of Flourishing}, {Otherworld Atlas}, {Horn of Greed}.
A PW or two, and a couple of {Elixir of Immortality}s.

I haven't really had a chance to test it out, but I thought about using {Isochron Scepter} for {Fog}, {Ponder}, etc.

I'd suggest creatureless TurboFog. All of your opponent's removal spells are dead cards. Plus, you can do stuff like {Evacuation}, or {Devastation Tide}.

{Witchbane Orb} is a good sideboard against direct damage too.

{Cryptic Command} is always a solid choice.

({Ponder} is a sorcery) ;)

{Hedron Crab} is awesome with stuff like {Cultivate}, {Kodama's Reach}, {Explosive Growth}, and {Skyshroud Claim}. Then throw in {Evolving Wilds} and {Terramorphic Expanse}.

With that kind of mana, you can hit them hard with {Increasing Confusion}, {Sands of Delerium}, even a {Braingeyser} (which doubles as a way to restock your hand).

{Overgrown Battlements} might be a viable option for mana production, particularly since it doubles as a blocker.

*facepalm*

And I actually used {Hedron Crab} with {Deprive} rather than {Mana Leak}, etc.  If using counters that is :)

I liked {Deprive} too, but it needs {Rites of Flourishing}, of which I have none. 😩

Actually, quick question about deprive, since it says as an additional cost to cast, you technically need 3 lands, right?  Like, you can't tap 2, then return one of the 2 tapped, can you?

you sure can. It doesn't say "untapped land".

Ok, good.  Just making sure I wasn't cheating :P.  Thanks!

Agree, it is so good. So annoying to play against in casual against my friends UG Slivers.
