What Is Magic The Gathering???

Mill is not a viable strategy along our origional guidelines. It is a viable wincon though. All this means is that a set of {nephalia drownyard} and a {jace memory adept} or two. What we really need is all consuming answers to allow time for the drownyard to kick in.

{farseek}, {snapcaster mage}, {abrupt decay}, {terminus}, etc.

I agree originally this is not the viable wincon, but this was the only win con suggested

It is a viable wincon not a viable strategy. Meaning win via mill is possible and likely, using milling cards to do it is not going to work well.

Agreed, there just aren't enough solid mill cards for it to be a strategy. Not like we have  {Archive Trap} or {Traumatize} to work with.
But {Mind Sculpt} is definitely a solid choice.

I'm thinking of a three part strategy; fog/blocks, mill, damage due to mill.

With cards like {Fog Bank}, {Fog}, {Jace's Phantasm}, {Jace, Memory Adept},{Duskmantle Guildmage}, etc etc etc.

Find away to use cards going to the graveyard as a way to deal damage. Suddenly it feels like instead of having to mill 53 or lower cards, we only have to make 20 milled cards cause 20 damage.

Oh archive trap and tramatize.  If only they were still standard... I wish we still had {Hedron Crab} and {Glimpse of the Unthinkable} too.

I ran a crazy mill deck back during zendikar

I always liked one or two {undead alchemist} in a mill deck.  Gives some creatures and helps the mill or bounce the alchemist and swing zombies for damage.  Helps against reanimator decks too.

Thoughts on maybe modifying Ben Stark's pro tour deck?

I love undead alchemist!  I second the idea! :)

I also think that {Jace, the Memory Adept}, {Duskmantle Guildmage}, {Havenguel Lich}, and {Mind Sculpt} should be in the deck

I posted a deck based on this thread's idea under the name "DARKBANT". Feel free to offer suggestions or ask questions.
