BMoor's Magic The
Gathering
Deck Garage
For as
long as
there
have
been
mill
decks,
they
have
been
struggling
with the
fact
that
milling
away the
opponent's
library
doesn't
actually
do
anything
to
hinder
the
opponent
until
the very
last
card.
Oftentimes
a mill
deck
will end
up
losing
simply
because
they
can't
stop the
opponent
from
winning
long
enough
to deck
out.
That's
just the
problem
that
faces
today's
client.
My mill deck is supposed to run my opponent outta cards before they can deal
This is
a fairly
puzzling
problem,
since on
paper
the deck
looks
like it
has
everything
it
needs.
Clearly
we're
going to
have to
step
things
up and
make
this
deck
faster,
more
milling,
and less
vulnerable
to 20
damage.
First,
Lurking
Informant
should
become
either
Dimir
Guildmage
or Lore
Broker.
Dimir
Guildmage
can draw
you
cards
and make
your
opponent
discard,
while
Lore
Broker
speeds
up the
milling
by
making
your
opponent
draw.
Milling
an
opponent
by
making
them
draw
is a
risky
proposition,
since
you're
giving
them
cards
which
they
could
then
play
against
you.
But Lore
Broker
gives
you a
card
too, so
hopefully you
can
handle
what
they
throw at
you.
Trouble
is, this
deck
doesn't
really
handle
what
people
throw at
it.....yet.
And
that's
probably
because it
doesn't
have
enough
ways to
deal
with
creatures.
Remove
Dimir
Machinations
and
Consult
the
Necrosages
in favor
of three
Last
Gasp.
This
should
give you
a cheap,
efficient
way to
handle
troublesome
creatures.
Speaking
of
cheap,
the less
your
spells
cost,
the more
likely
you are
to be
able to
play
them.
Replace
Sift
with
Compulsive
Research,
which
essentially
does the
same
thing.
After
all,
what do
you
usually
discard
with
Sift? A
land?
That's
what I
thought.
One more
thing;
replace
Thoughtpicker
Witch.
Her
effect
just
isn't
worth
losing a
creature
to most
often.
What do
you
replace
it
with?
Glimpse
the
Unthinkable
would be
ideal.
But if
you
can't
get
Glimpse
the
Unthinkable,
you
could
try a
radical
idea for
a
replacement:
Skyscribing.
Like I
said
earlier,
making
your
opponent
draw is
almost
like
milling
them.
Using
the
Forecast
ability
is sort
of like
having a
Howling
Mine
out,
exceot
you have
to pay
for it
each
turn.
And in
the late
game, it
can
act like
Psychic
Drain to
finish
off your
opponent.
But
honestly,
just go
with
Glimpse
the
Unthinkable.
