The SAULTIEST of formations occur when you're able to mill your opponent in standard!!

Thanks to Assault Formation being released in DTK, we now have a viable mill/tank deck strategy!

THE TWO WIN-CONS:

There are plenty of tough walls for cheap, with Assault Formation you can have them doing tons of damage starting turn 2-3, and no one is trying to swing into a 7/7 Wall of Frost.

Now, for the cool part... If you get Phenax, God of Deception onto the field, at the end of turn, mill based on toughness, wait.. mill for 17 on turn 5? WTF?!?!?!?!

Let's now talk about some of the other cards..

Triton Tactics: Hilarious combat trick or an additional mill turn

Negate: seemingly necessary to protect some walls or your phenax

Commune with the Gods: Really really nice if you're searching for either Assault Formation or Phenax, God of Deception.. if you wiff either, at least you can grab a wall! (hopefully :D)

Collected Company: This card is boss, IF i have formation OR phenax.. I will be leaving mana open for this, this is an excellent turn 4 play to throw (the dream) two Wall of Frost onto the field at instant speed

The 1 of justification's: Tasigur, the Golden Fang is pretty cool considering commune fuels graveyard pretty hard, and his ability is a good mana sink when i'm low on cards but he's not required in this deck and is only good situationally; Dig Through Time there's only 1 right now because if all is going well i won't need to use it and it'll be more of a luxury cast

This deck is still a work in progress and a side-board is still being formed, suggestions are appreciated but PLEASE keep in mind the theme i've build for this deck :) thank you!
