So?

Kuberr

This looks pretty nasty.

Though, I'm kind of a scrub to U/G so I'm not sure, but what's the kill combo?

Leviathan

I dig. Glad to see someone else found a use for {Deadeye Navigator}

Deadeye plus prime = many lands out, thinning deck. Increasing confusion and or jace mill. At worst, prime is a 6/6 trampler

Kuberr

I ha that thought of milling.

Well it looks good!

Willthomjr

Mana leak seems to potentially slow deck. Thoughts? Can't ramp and leave 2 mana open.

Drop it. Run {rampant growth} it fits the deck better. WoTC wants to get rid of counters anyway...

Well, mill ramp decks aren't neccessarily fast are they? Do you have any helpful suggestions to make it faster?

Willthomjr

I know the draw is slow at 4

Mana leaks and vapor snap meant for early game. I was hoping to stabilize because once I flicker Titan after both are out, 6-8 lands per turn, then mill for 20+ is the idea, flashback for 400 gg?

I've never built a Mill deck that moves quickly at all. I guess I'd add {Abundant Growth}, maybe {Ghostly Flicker} instead of {Deadeye Navigator}? Lower the {Jace, Memory Adept}.

Sagemaster

Add more ramp stuff besides the Titan and sad robot and green suns zenith and some birds...rites of flourishing?

Sagemaster

Oh also some duals that have red and a kessig wolfrun cause with the titan pumping out so much land like those would lead to automatic wins!

Willthomjr

You know I test played it against green Aggro and if I can make it a little quicker, it'll be boss. Once I get a t-4 Titan things stabilize and then it's ok from there. I'm usually down 6-10 life though. I might ditch components since its a lot

Willthomjr

When I have Titan and deadeye out, next turn usually follows with 10 from jace and 10-20 from cOnfusion and next turn is game with flashback
