High win rate mill deck Plat+ MTGA ranked.
Sustain early aggression with
Wall of Lost Thoughts
and
Teyo, the Shieldmage
.
Ideally you want at least 1 early
Psychic Corrosion
, but you can draw into it pretty easy with
Jace, Wielder of Mysteries
and/or
Jace's Triumph
.
The Mill Core:
Psychic Corrosion
+
Jace, Wielder of Mysteries
+
Jace's Triumph
. Assuming you start your turn with
Psychic Corrosion
on board, you've already milled 2. Uptick
Jace, Wielder of Mysteries
and you've milled an additional 4 and drawn a card. Cast
Jace's Triumph
to mill an additional 6, for a total of 12 milled and 5 new cards in your hand this turn. While this synergy is great, having all pieces is not necessary as all the cards have great value on their own.
Once you have your mill core setup, the rest of the game is survival. You have 12 board wipes at your disposal to achieve this.
Time Wipe
clears the board and lets you get extra mileage out of
Wall of Lost Thoughts
.
Settle the Wreckage
is an instant speed attack wipe that protects you from hasters; this comes with the added bonus of assisting your mill tempo should they fetch lands from their deck. Last you have
Cleansing Nova
, possibly the weakest but in some cases is useful to clear troublesome enchantments, just be careful not to wipe your
Psychic Corrosion
.
Bonus cards
Thought Collapse
is simply put the perfect counterspell you could ask for in this deck as it accelerates your mill.
Finale of Revelation
a one off card that can potentially close out the game in a single turn. Bonus if you can spend 12 on it to remove those pesky max hand size restrictions, but you really shouldn't need it.
Ashiok, Dream Render
a potential 20 mill over 5 turns for 3 mana. This card also shuts out your opponent's ability to fetch for answers. Exiling your opponent's grave is great for shutting down overgrowth and jump start cards. Worst case scenario she eats 4 damage that would have otherwise gone to your face.
Memorial to Genius
a weaker card that's there for when you need a little card advantage or to close out the game when you're just short of milling them out. Pair this cards activated ability with your
Psychic Corrosion
for an extra 4 card reach on your mill.
Mentioned earlier,
Teyo, the Shieldmage
is an absolute monster if you get him out early against red decks.
The back up plan
In the rare event that your opponent is playing anti-mill such as
Gaea's Blessing
or
The Mending of Dominaria
, or even if you are you up against another mill deck.
Jace, Wielder of Mysteries
's passive ability lets you start targeting yourself with hist uptick ability, your
Wall of Lost Thoughts
, and
Ashiok, Dream Render
. Pair that will all your draw tech and you can win easily by milling yourself out. Just be careful not to accidentally ditch your last
Jace, Wielder of Mysteries
in the process and end up losing the game.
