Synergies And Combinations

• Syr Konrad, the Grim+Mindcrank is a pretty good mill combo, especially effective in multiplayer.
• Duskmantle Guildmage+Mindcrank is an infinite mill
• Phenax, God of Deception+Undead Alchemist+Intruder Alarm as the potential to mill out an opponent, it's even better if you have additional creatures on the battle field.

Negative Synergies

Nighthowler, and Wight of Precinct Six are great for increasing mill power with Phenax, God of Deception. Undead Alchemist ultimately hinders their abilities.

BEWARE

Mesmeric Orb and Dreamborn Muse are good for relentless milling but it can also hurt you. Disciple of Deceit helps offset the self-harm.
