So I have been trying to make an effective mill deck and I think zombie mill is the way to go.  You can see from the sideboard that I have made several variants to include merfolk and some other good mill strategies.  Opinions?

Y u no can haz {Hedron Crab}? 🐱
Seriously!?  Early game D, and if you use any fetch lands they do double duty, an help ramp {Brain Freeze}. Crabs were star players in my mill.
{Archive Trap} + {Ghost Quarter} 👍
Also, I like {Mindcrank} to fuse mill and damage.

The crab was in my original build but I could not incorporate it in a deck that could withstand aggro decks.  This zomb variant has a better defensive game that has the potential to mill better than the crab and increase the size of the zomb army with the alchemist.

Your choice, they did wonders for me a one mana is all I'm sayin'. How about the new {Increasing Confusion}?

I gave that card some thought too....  I think I would rather rely on the instant and sorceries in here.  Do think the confusion could be more effective?  Maybe late game....but the recast is nice though.

Is a Mill {Fireball} effective?! He'll yeah it is mate, especially when doubled after recast! It's pretty much a staple in mill decks of mine from now until the next sliced bread!

Well, pound-for-pound, {Glimpse the Unthinkable} and {Archive Trap} are the goods 💎, but I haven't gotten my mits on Confusion.

Agreed. I wish I could have 6 Glimpses in a deck. 🏆 lol

That is my point.  I think the other cards are more effective than the confusion.  I think the confusion is a good substitute for the aforementioned, but I would rather run glimpse, archive, or mind funeral if I have em 😁

I can't believe no one has mentioned the {keening stone} yet. It's gotta be my favorite when their graveyard starts to fill

Hmm kinda mana intensive but what a late game devastater.

If only you could {glimpse the unthinkable} with {isicron scepter}

Sadly, my meta has too much mill hate. Eldrazi, {Gaea's Blessing}, {Feldon's Cane}s and whatnot. 😔
