Title: Just another magic post
Post by: TheRecklessPlaneswalker on July 26, 2012, 12:54:55 PM
Hey everyone!
I am here today to ask one question: Why doesn't self-mill work?
When self-mill was invented nobody in my play group even thought of it! What's wrong winning in casual with this combo:
{ leveler } plus { labatory maniac}?
Post your thoughts about self mill here.

I always thought it would work...but be careful because if you cast leveler or another mill yourself card/combo and then someone kills your maniac...well yeah. And also there's {Surgical Extraction} to make you have no win cons.

Maybe mill yourself for the win game 1 and side in {Torpor Orb} and other things game 2...

it's basically a one trick pony. if you're facing another mill deck you will actually get screwed more quickly. in a match you get hard countered by anything which nukes your strategy.

I don't even see the point. It seems to risky for anything more than a casual deck.

I made a quasi self-milling {U}{G} deck. It uses old threshold cards like {Werebear} and {Krosan Restorer}. {Laboratory Maniac} is in it along with {Golgari Grave-Trolls}.

I considered adding a {Leveler}, but his cost is high, doesn't allow flashback, and could definitely screw you over.

Add in {llhurgofy} for some fire power after you mill.

I saw a self mill deck with {Vengavine} and {Bloodghast} along with the usual {Splinterfight}s and {Boneyard Wurm}s
