Title: Mill questions.
Post by: Richardalcala on May 11, 2012, 06:35:57 PM
Would mill be good for a legacy deck? New to the format so any input would help. Thanks. I got 2x {jace memory adept} was thinking of making a fun mill deck around him.

{Traumatize}, {Archive Trap} and other classic mill cards. Mill is more of a fun deck to play, it tends to play slowly.

I have a mill deck posted in legacy that does alright.  Mill is really just for fun casual play IMO.  I do love my mill deck tho.  I use {ensnaring bridge} and {propaganda} to help lock the board down and fetch lands with my {hedron crabs} to keep chipping away at their deck.  Need 1 more {glimpse the unthinkable} but 3 does just fine in there for now ;) Ohh and {sewer nemesis} is an allstar.

{mind funeral}+{trepitation blade}= fun

Especially when playing someone like me who try's to run the minimum lands possible

I run the blades in my Legacy Wizard deck. I use {Supreme Inquisitor} to remove their lands from their deck.

So if you copy it u can't use it on the same player? I guess it would be good for a 3 player.
