Esper Mill

[Mattao19]

Rest in Peace is a 3 of SB and I have {Surgical extractions to deal with them MB. Not good matchups but best I can do

Also how does gravestorm work exactly?

Say I  Archive Trap} them, they mill 13, of which there's 3 land, 4 creatures and 6 instants/Sorceries. Do I get 7 copies of Gravestorm now? Or do I have to destroy a permanent

[Mattao19]

Ouch! That's dirty!! Ill play test that a bit but right now I'm screwed against burn like I can't beat burn! How do I fix this?

Let line of Sanctity? Is the only thing that I can think of but it'd be a 2 of SB and hard to draw/open with it

Do you think this can be competitive like borderline Tier 1. It's from a list that went 9-2 day 1 in Detroit last year

I mean, it's mill. You can have some really awesome games, and then you can have some terrible games. It's really boom/bust and aggro matchups are always going to be a nightmare.

Aggro does Hurt a lot but looking at the top 8 from Minneapolis it's mostly combo or control and I like my odds vs both. Plus {Crypt Incursion} is insane!

[Mattao19]

I know that's why I have verdicts and tbh {Crypt Incursion} wins it for me except that sometimes it's infect damage

I used this shell for my mill deck too and I can tell you that {snapcaster mage} aren't great in this deck.
{Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver} is a really good card to have in the sideboard I've found.

I don't see how he could possibly be bad?

Why Ashiok?

Why Ashiok?

Steal their stuff, or its a three drop, mill three every turn and it you ulti him, you pretty much win. He seems solid.

I don't see the side tech though. As a mill spell, there are better alternatives. I.E. {Lightning Bolt} is better than {Annihilating Fire}.

[Phoenix X30]

Aggro is really popular in my group and Ashiok gave me a chance to stall.
Might not work in your meta.
Also about snapcaster. I didn't like cutting 4 cards for him as the deck runs really well without him.

But Ashiok gives you more versatility. For example, taking some of pod's creatures after they have been killed could really screw them. {Murderous Redcap} can provide a blocker and destroy combo creature, {Kitchen Finks} can provide lifegain and a blocker and {Orzhov Pontiff} could wipe a board. On the other hand, he could just be a repeated source of milling in a grindy control matchup.

[Phoenix X30]

Ashiok isn't in the deck for mill. He provides some stability while you mill them.

If you had all the cards for this what would the deck be?

[Mattao19]

I do have all the cards for this this is my real deck. tbh Idk if I'd even bother with glimpses bc {Breaking // Entering} is not as bad as it seems. Because {Shelldock Isle} can be used to cast entering and you can take their creature lol
