once i get Voyage's End there will be something done, Disperse . thinking if replacing the cluestone's with Darksteel Ingot for a wider range, making the Nightveil Specter 's more usefull...

Replace Disperse with Far / Away . Cluestones are pretty much trash. I'm not sure how much adding red to this deck helps you. If Mill is your primary win condition, you'll definitely want to increase your count of Jace, Memory Adept and at least consider Consuming Aberration

if i replave Disperse then I cannot abuse Archaeomancer or Jace, Memory Adept i have a Consuming Aberration so i'll have to look for more. I do understand the need for Far / Away though its an amazing card.

What, no Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver ? And why only 1 Jace, Memory Adept ?

I don't understand why you run red in here. All it gets you is Magma Jet and Counterflux , which isn't that great in Standard. Try Dissolve as a replacement. I find it better as it lets you fix your next draw.

the deck originally ran Slaughter Games to rip out the annoying cards that could be a problem. buts in a bucket right.

Include more control elements like Far / Away , Hero's Downfall , Thoughtseize , and Psychic Strike . Instead of Disperse try Cyclonic Rift it has more versatility with "overload". I'd also cut down on land to 24-25, remove the cluestones, and change out some of those creatures for AEtherling , Desecration Demon , and maybe Lifebane Zombie . Another alternative for Phantom Warrior is Deathcult Rogue with its hybrid mana it would be easier to cast.

i have been abusing Disperse on my Archaeomancer and jace. At most the deck is mediocre good, unfortunately at this time dropping 20-30$ a card is just not feasable, I will look for them but I cannot justify buying them outright at this time.

you realize that you can abuse Archeomancer with Far / Away right? as you can target your own creature to return to your hand..... just late game you can have the opponent sac a creature AS-WELL.... so disperse could really afford to go....

Sure you'll lose the use on jace but.... you get a-lot more control out of it and you're stunting yourself for literally one copy of one card...

ment Archaeomancer sorry my bad for quoting a deck instead o the card ><

October 7, 2013 7:05 a.m.

MrKnify says... #11

lol, yes far and away would be great for that also. I've found sometimes you need a get this card out-of-here and Disperse has saved my butt. I will have to sideboard and play it.

Smaug1007 says... #17

I would agree with more counter spells and removal Disperse is easily replaced by Far / Away also instead of running Balustrade Spy I would recommend Consuming Aberration he is a mill engine in himself since every spell afterwards will mill until they hit a land. Another plus is he just gets out of control huge. If you want more ideas for the deck I run a similar style called Dimirritation (2nd place FNM!) the only other things I will recommend is less land count, 27 is way too high for this style of play in my personal experience, I run 24, no more no less and it runs great, although this is just suggestion, ultimately you will play the deck how you like it but it is something to consider. Lastly Read the Bones is so much better than Pilfered Plans its not going to make or break your mill win con by taking it out and you can interact with 4 cards instead of 2, which to me is more value to the CMC, Anywho +1 from me! I think it has potential. Go check mine out and tell me what you think! DImir is the best!

I would replace Disperse with Cyclonic Rift , same mana cost and same effect, but also has the overload effect, if you have the mana to use it. I would replace Counterflux with Psychic Strike just because Psychic Strike makes your opponent mill 2 cards. Balustrade Spy should probably be replaced, he's sort of a high-cost, mediocre Mind Grind . The cluestones definitely need replacing, since they're kinda garbage. Not quite sure what would be good replacements, but they're a waste of space in my opinion.

I'd suggest losing Archaeomancer he's too high a cost to be effective, and replace him with 2Breaking and 1Mind Grind . Also Pilfered Plans is way better than Read the Bones for a mill deck :)

+1 for grixis mill!!
