Flight of the Millcords

Modern Combo Discard Mill UB (Dimir)

elicit


Sideboard

Sorcery (4)


This deck focuses on milling your opponent while still having win conditions with creatures that interract with the number of cards in a graveyard like Jace's Phantasm and Consuming Aberration.

There are some fun combos with Duskmantle Guildmage and Jace, Memory Adept 's 0 ability (10 damage a pop), pair that with having 1-2 Jace's Phantasm or Consuming Aberration and you can have a 20 to 0 kill in one turn.

Obviously this deck performs a lot faster when Jace, Memory Adept is in play due to creatures relying on the number of cards in a graveyard but thankfully that's not the only way to win.

There are some good creature removal spells with Doom Blade and Dimir Charm along with Psychic Strike for straight up counter spell.

I was able to play against my co-workers u/g/r mana ramp druid/elite arcanist/

The hardest thing to do is manage to drop Duskmantle and activate the 3 trigger all in the same round. This worked best when I had a Jace in battle so I could drop Duskmantle+activate and then do the +1 on Jace triggering the discard/damage cycle.

Overall this deck can be quite slow and I learned that a few cards were not really that useful: Trepanation Blade -- iffy so far, I didn't end up drawing it once in 4 games.

Visions of Beyond -- Not terribly useful as I found I don't really get close to milling them to death and by time they have 20+ cards in graveyard I'm either dead or they got combo'd.

Mind Grind -- Kinda fun, but still not that useful.

I have some ideas for games 2 and 3 assuming they learn to get rid of Mind Crank and I can't combo them, adding in another Jace's Mindseeker would be good as having a 5/5 flying is nice and I can get my blade on them.

Adding in some interaction with the other person's hand is nice so I upped the Durress total to 4. I am going to look into getting some 1-2 drop instant spell counters to protect my important drops.

I think if I came across a really fast agro deck I would have a lot of problems. I will be testing that more.
