I began playing Magic a long time ago in a land far far away. A land called Ravnica. A land flush with a new concept: Guilds! I was a pretty awful player but I had a dream to have a Standard deck that could do all the wonderful things that the Guilds had to offer.

• The Dimir ruins your deck and leaves you wondering what happened
• The Golgari feeding off the dead and making a bad thing worse
• The Simic endearing exponential growth by any means necessary

My first deck consisted of Glimpse the Unthinkable and Traumatize making a very beefy Vulturous Zombie as my main win con, and this seemed oh so perfect at the time. I even won a few local FNM tournaments at the time. With Llanowar Elves, Sakura-Tribe Elder, and shock lands... anything was possible!

I've been wanting to continue this deck idea for some time. I keep building the deck, then taking it apart. I can't decide if I like it or not.

But I am adamant. I am defiant. I will defend the legacy.

-- THE MILL --

• Archive Trap - By far the potentially scariest Mill card ever created. With all 4 in your hand at the same time... You can win if the opponent even cracks a fetch.... Fear this card. Make the enemy fear it more.

• Breaking - Not quite as good as Glimpse, but eight is still pretty decent!

• Glimpse the Unthinkable - The center piece of any Mill deck, two for ten in a single card is fantastic

• Mind Funeral - Leaves you quivering in anticipation during the flip of every... Single... Card... Will it be a land? Will you Mill the wincon out?

-- THE CREATURES --

• Snapcaster Mage - Should probably be included him under the Mill section because he is in fact going to bring back a Milling sorcery most of the time, but he does have the versatility of getting ANY of the 28 spells in the deck

• Tarmogoyf - Well now. Unfortunately Vulturous Zombie is not exactly good by Modern standards, so this will be taking my precious flying filth's spot as the best equivalent I can find. Why I didn't think of using this during the block, I'll never know

-- THE CONTROL --

• Abrupt Decay - Solid removal. Can't be countered. Need I say more?

• Dismember - No hold's barred creature removal that can be played on turn one.

• Remand - A touch of control and a touch of draw.

• Sylvan Scrying]] - The best part about splashing green, the mana ramp and fix.

-- THE SIDEBOARD --

• Abrupt Decay - Fills in the gap for more removal if needed

• Dismember - Fills in the gap for stronger creature count.

• Extirpate - You know that card that gets played that you just HATE? I don't I play Extirpate :)

• Leyline of the Void - Living End will cry...

• Pithing Needle - More hate for infinite decks and pod really. Also works on PW's so Lili can piss off.

• Relic of Progenitus - Most helpful against single cards that keep coming back, but nothing as deep as Living End. I like to keep it around if you Mill an Emrakul against Tron of if Jund tries to keep bringing back Bloodghast

• Shadow of Doubt - Solid against anything from Tron to anyone who wants to crack a fetch. Nothing is more funny than putting them off mana for a turn.
