Doorkeeper Decking Deck

Standard Mill Mono-Blue

archiphoneme


Sideboard


This deck was originally intended to be an old school milling deck but when I realized the many cheaper alternatives to the actual millstone it pretty much formed on it's own. The common milling cards are all here, Codex Shredder, Psychic Spiral, Traumatize, Tome Scour, Jace's Mindseeker, Jace himself. The Doorkeepers are for very real defending with the added benefit of milling as well. Staff of the Mind Mage for life in case I get in some trouble, Elixir of Immortality for life and recycling. Several cards in the Sideboard I deemed too expensive for the main deck to maintain speed and control. If I were playing multiple opponents I might switch in Enter the Infinite (to combo with Psychic Spiral) and the Heavier more expensive Guardian of The Ages, though they have the benefit of trample threat they didn't go into the main deck because of their ability to loose defender also makes them useless for the Doorkeeper's mill ability. Dismiss into dream is in the sideboard for weenie decks, Stolen Identity for the fatties in dragon/demon decks.I'm considering getting rid of the Quicken's since they only really allow me t o play Tome Scour, Traumatize, and Time Ebb quickly (9 cards) or sideboard the Domestications for the other Quicken and Traumatize to maintain speed. Definitely open to some suggestions, I just got back into magic for the first time in years. It was decks like this that bend the rules (rather than depend on creatures/damage) that made me fall in love with Magic to begin with (Twiddle? Icy Manipulator? anyone?). Haven't had a chance to play it yet but will do so likely within the week.

I'm open to constructive criticism and feedback.
