Would like some feedback:)

I have a question about your sideboard. Could you give us the run down on what it's supposed to do against decks?

Just mill the crap out of people.:) lich is to restart the game if I need:) and the others in the sideboard are a just in case I need more life or they have heavy hitters or search or anything I need;)

Have you tested this deck yet? No offense but it seems a bit too slow for the format

Not yet. Barely just put it together last night.. Know how to make it faster?
I know I want {nemesis of reson} in it badly:(

I have consuming aberration but it is not one of my favs..

Look at the Esper mill deck a little ways down the page

I have:)

That's my deck :P it's a lot of fun!! But can be awkward to play against Emrakuls etc lol

My list is a control type mill deck I have verdicts and recently added counters. I also run d spheres. Bc why I want to do is stop their pressure then mill them.

I'm a fan of 4-7 creatures only!!! 4 Hedron Crab then 3 of either {Jaces Phantasm} or {Snapcaster Mage} anything else IMO is too slow/conditional!

Also I highly recommend Esper!! Path into Arcgive trap!!! So baws!!!

Also clean up your mana base Jwar Island Refuge is worse than an island/swamp in my opinion cut the bad duals and keep it simple {watery graves} {dark slick Shores} etc and basics :P

Hope it helped!!

{thought scour} is kind of terrible in this.  If you want the cantrip effect then I'd suggest {serum visions}.  {jaces phantasm} is so good in these decks....that big cheap flyer becomes a plan b strategy and can hold off big attackers

If you want to make it faster cut some cards out. It's hard to get it running consistently with 75 cards and a lot of one and two ofs.

It's a 60 card deck. 15 are his sideboard.

I stand corrected. My mathematical skills aren't at their best early morning ....

Ofs?

Still, there do seem to be a lot of one and two ofs.

Really big card in my mill deck is {Duskmantle Guildmage). Damage everywhere with {Mind Grind}. Or even {Echo Mage}, as his level up is amazing late game.

What is ofs?
And I need 4 mind grinds... I have the mage and dusk

{Mind Grind} is NOT Modern Playable and {Duskmantle Guildmages} are CERTAINLY NOT either!

Mind grind compared to {Mind Funeral} .. It's humourous lol also you'll come to see that Mind Funeral isn't even that great so MG is really bad!

Look at my list for the mill cards I'm only missing {Glimpse the Unthinkbles} other than that those are the best mill cards in Modern.

I know the mage would not work:) I have glimpse in mine finally after 3 years..

Lucky :( but not needed IMO but only bc I went Esper controlish mill.

It was because I traded away mutavaults and griselbrand...
And what is ofs????

Like 4 ofs in a deck meaning 4 of a card aka playset :P

Why is it called ofs??? That makes no sense

Ofs (pronounced oves [doves without the d])

It's because you have 4 of that card instead of typing of that card now just say ofs

I type out everything:) I hate abreviations..
But would like more suggestions:)

For started circu and kami are terrible here

Where's your {Breaking//Entering}???

Ill post better suggestions tomorrow bc I'm really tired lol

There are 3 {Breaking // Entering} in it:) waiting on my fourth to come

What would you recommend instead?

Why is Duskmantle and Mind Grind illegal? And mind grind has won me a many game.

Not illegal jut bad in Modern. Read {Mind Funeral} then read {Mind Grind} and tell me which is better.

I have read them both, and I actually prefer mind grind. I play multiplayer more than anything, so the mass mill on multiple opponents works much better for me.

We are talking modern:) one on one games. So funeral costs three less mana then mind grind would:) mind grind is only good in edh, modern not at all, casual, haha

Conan (as per usual) is correct lol

Now obviously multiplayer is different but 1v1 funeral wins

I'm not sold on even Funeral dude, it's such a gamble every single time.

It is by far the worst card in a mill deck BUT it has potential to be awesome

19-20 land decks are not that uncommon, and given the prevalence of Fetchlands, you can usually count on it netting a decent number of cards.

After running the card for over a year, I found that more often than not it was an expensive {Mind Sculpt}.

I use mind funeral to finish the game for 1v1

But yes I know this deck needs a lot of work:)

Apologies people, I didn't know that modern is usually 1v1. Thought it had it's multiplayer too :P but with the 1v1 part, funeral does make more sense.

:) but yes in edh I would use both:)
