Hey taking this to a PTQ in Mid August and I need help. It's Mill and Modern format. (Cards in Brackets ARE NOT in deck list but are cards I'm considering adding)

4 {Hedron Crab}
(2-3 {Snapcaster Mage})
4 Creatures

4 {Archive Trap}
2 {Path to Exile}
4 {Visions of Beyond}
3 {Thoughtscour}
3 {Crypt Incursion}
3 {Surgical Extraction}
(Counter Magic??)
19 Instants

4 {Glimpse the Unthinkable}
4 {Breaking//Entering}
2 {Mind Funeral}
10 Sorceries

2 {Ensnaring Bridge}
3 {Mesmeric Orb}
5 Artifacts

1 {Scalding Tarn} (all I have 😔)
2 {Arid Mesa}
2 {Verdant Catacomb}
2 {Marsh Flats}
2 {Watery Grave}
2 {Godless Shrine}
2 {Hallowed Fountain}
2 {Darkslick Shores}
2 {Island}
2 {Swamp}
1 {Plains}
2 {Ghost Quarter}
22 Land

I'm still working on my SB but the few I have are:

2 {Leyline of Sanctity}
2 {Ensnaring Bridge}
3 {Disenchant}
2 {Stony Silence} (shhhh silence)
1 {Crypt Incursion}
2 {Rest in Peace} (should it be 3 SB?)
12 SB so far

Thanks for looking at my list

i would suggest some number of {surgical extraction}- hits tron pieces, combo pieces, all that fun stuff, perhaps {extirpate} instead if you don't feel like running countermagic

I like the base:)
It really just depends on what you go up against. And I like some of the decks on YouTube. Linked one I like:)

That's the deck I basically copied

I have looked at it a lot and agree with it minus some of the land base.

It honestly just looks like he's missing fetchlands, which is understandable. A single white I get, but the rest of the Mesas are Mistys, definitely. Also, I still think {Snapcaster Mage} can take this deck to the next level.

I'm really debating that! What would you swap for them? I personally own a playset of snappies so I don't need to worry about finding them

Also is {Profane Momento} good enough for sb?

have you considered {mind sculpt} and it's one mana brother?

And I agree on the snappys.  How often do you empty your hand to work with the bridge?

As often as possible I'm debating going 3 bridges mb.

And mind sculpt? Really? Hell no
