Okay so i've been thinking about building a deck and have been trying to come up with a good list. I have been eyeing the mind grind in my binder and thinking how good the card is. So my question is, is mill a good enough deck to compete with other decks? if yes what should i be running? if no then , oh well...
Run {Mind Grind} with green mana ramp, along with {Duskmantle Seer}. Run {Jace's Phantasm}, {Snapcaster Mage}, and good stall cards.
If something isn't a thing, you can make it a thing if you try hard enough.
I also would like to see if we could figure out this as a community (maybe?)
Of course it's not going to be as fantastic as a modern version (because such and such card isn't in standard, blah blah blah) but let see if we can figure out one that works well enough to be competitive.
I guess the first questions to pose should be, what kind of mill deck should we make.
What I mean is there are different ways to focus with our available card pool, an depending which way we want to skew the deck then we will need a suitable strategy.
Creature based {Consuming Aberration} / {Undead Alchemist}, etc.
Spell based {Mind Grind} / {Increasing Confusion} / {Mind Sculpt}, etc
Or permenants based {Jace, Memory Adept} / {Sands of Delirium}
Or draw and discard {Otherworld Atlas} / {Mind Rot} / {Reforge the Soul}
And of course there's always the options of self mill {Mirror-Mad Phantasm} / {Laboratory Maniac} / {Splinterfright} etc.
the list i've put together has jace, mind grind, increasing confusion and is completely spell based
{Duskmantle guildmage} and {Jace, Memory adept}
