Consuming Mill

I could use some help narrowing my focus a bit for this deck. This deck is meant for MULTIPLAYER only. Thanks.

The purpose of this deck is to mill as many or one particular opponent to then use Consuming Aberration for a combos.

Mill Opponents + Consuming Aberration + Dying wish = kill one player, gain life.

Mill Opponents + Consuming Aberration + Essence Harvest = kill one player, gain life.

Mill Opponents + Consuming Aberration + Rogue's Passage = kill one player.

Back up plan: Lazav, Dimir Mastermind and copy a fatty from somewhere.

Back up plan: Animate Dead a fatty from somewhere.

Back up plan: Copy a fatty with Dimir Doppelganger.

Back up plan: Mindcrank + direct damage from Consuming Aberration = should mill them to death if the damage doesn't kill them.

Remove cards that I added to do a combo that isnt necessary for this deck. see Consuming Mill Improved for that combo deck.

Added 2x Dimir Doppelganger Added 4x Animate Dead

This deck has won 3/4 times I have played with it, with 5 or more opponents. Each game I was able to get Laz or Consuming out. Laz just changes around to some fatty until I am happy and Consuming just gets so big so fast...in 3 of the 4 games I ended with over 50 life from Essence Harvest. I am really amazed on how well this deck works. Only downside is that I am VERY dependent on Laz or Consuming hitting the board on turn 3, 4, or 5. (dark ritual gets Consuming out on turn 3)...Because I see I am too dependent on 2 cards, I feel since I am milling a lot of cards, animate dead to grab a creature early will slow other people down.

Ideal Play #1:

  1. Island ->Tome Scour

  2. Swamp -> Animate Dead (steal a fatty milled with Tome Scour)

  3. Drowned Catacombs-> Dark Ritual -> Dark Ritual-> Consuming Aberration + Dying Wish

  4. Any Land -> Laz. (mill hits the board and Laz instantly becomes a creature of my choice, if wanted)

  5. Any Land -> Mind Grind / Mind Sculpt / Mind Funeral, use leftover mana for a phantasm or other small mill card, or wight.
