I have had what is either a terrible or a brilliant idea.

I got a Cormela, Glamour Thief in a happy accident.

Figured I would make a spell slinger deck. Pretty easy. Red damage, Blue control, Black recurssion.

But as I started pulling cards, I just wasn't excited by it. Direct damage is boring, and I've worked with red a lot recently.

BUT. I have an old 60 card Mill deck, I have long considered expanding.

I just wasn't sure I had enough of the card base to make it work. But if I can use Cormela to get multiple uses of some of the heavy hitters like Traumatize It COULD work.

Secondary focus on recursion. Getting spells of various kinds and creatures back repeatedly.

Need some cheap ways to get some red mana in there for the boss. Maybe the odd usefull red card for some copy seppls. But mostly keep it 2 color Blue + Black.

I like my little mill. And it's probably more effective. I don't think there is anyway this deck could ever win a 4 player game. But then again, none of my decks win much. So I can still have fun with it.

03/29/2024. First draft. Super duper rough. Basically just the outline at this point. Mill, recursion, card draw, thats about it.

02/17/2025 Wow. Almost a year I've been tinkering with this and have still yet to play it. Because it's niche and a disliked theme I've been hesitant to pull it put. But I think its about as ready as its going to get.
