Thought id give my take on the new mill deck...all thoughts welcome
I put some thought into this, like maybe make it esper with dryad militant or rest in peace to exmill them so you dont get hit with elixir.
Idk just a thought

I did think bout esper but don't really think it would work for this deck...with {consuming aberration} I really don't want to exile their graveyard...but {psychic strike} and {dissolve} work just fine against elixer :)
You could always Sideboard graveyard exile and sub it in when your Consuming Aberrations aren't doing the trick. Because if you were going against another Mill deck, maybe you would want some cards like {Crypt Incursion} to counteract their power over the game.

{crypt incursion} is def a good idea for sideboard as well as {psychic spiral} for mirror matches
I'll have to disagree on that one. {Psychic Strike} or {Dissolve} are two great, low-costed counters with extra goodness in them. I personally like {Psychic Strike} only because it's a must in Mill-based decks. {Dissolve} also has the potential to help you Scry into good draws.

{Breaking // Entering} over Psychic Strike, all day
Have to agree with the lady on this one...while {breaking // entering} is def a good card and was in my initial build...you need some control aspect in any mill deck and since this one is based on creatures for its mill I had to cut my mill sorceries in order to control enough to last
I'm really wanting to include the new {siren of silent song} but not sure what to cut...I know it doesn't mill much but having your opponent discard is huge...especially when combined with {triton tactics} cuz then they'd have to discard two cards essentially at the end of their turn (one at the end of theirs and one at the beginning of mine)
I would cut 1 {Murmuring Phantasm} and both {Meletis Charlatan}s to add in 3 {Siren of Silent Song}s. That card is dope!
I see this going tier 1 with crypt incursion sideboard vs anyone who plays elixir or has graveplay. Actually anyone for that matter for sustain.... I would prolly end up mainboarding 2 just because
It's so Cryptic.....and Incursiony ;)

Let me explain why {meletis charlatan} is in then get your opinion again...you have four creatures on the battlefield two being meletis and phenax and for this example the other two are {wall of frost} and four mana open.
At the end of your opponents turn:
Tap the two walls and Phenax to mill for 21...then cast {triton tactics}, activate meletis to copy triton tactis and untap all four creatures and mill for 36 more...game
I know this situation won't always happen...but do you still think I should pull him?
Eek, sounds to wonderful! And in a perfect world, I'd say keep him :/ I guess it's just a judgement call. Up to you love! :)
