I like to run Liliana of the Dark Realms as well as Jace. If you can hit her ultimate you can cast a pretty nasty mind grind.

I really liked your deck! How do you use your Sideboard against Aggro and MidRange decks?Have you played with it recently? How's it going?

I've been playing with a similar mechanics deck, Far / Away works fine to remove some creatures, or even save yours. +1 btw, nice deck!

I second Far / Away u run the colors, its a perfect fit, altho its not as universal as cyclonic, it does provide its own versatility especially against Voice of Resurgence .

I see only 1 Mind Grind , and that is only on Sideboard. In your opinion, is Mind Grind not that great or deserving of mainboard, or do you only have 1?

@DrTmitch - I used to run 4x of them, but it seemed like everytime I would use it, I would only get to mill like 4 cards, and it was never consistent. I swapped them for Breaking.

May 22, 2013 9:50 p.m.

I agree with the switch to Breaking , unless you're playing in two-headed giant it is much better.

Think about whispering madness, if you land Jace, the - 7 is draw 20 right? well then you can use whispering madness and make them discard 20 then draw 20. kill combo in standard. Then even if they some how can by pass the full effect. Use Mirko Vask ,mind drinker to be ciphered and then with the unblockable ability of this deck it is a sure win with those three cards.

as U/B mill being in my top 2 fav deck types i love this deck actually was planning something close. One question why Victim of Night ? why not Murder ,Ultimate Price or even Grisly Spectacle ? i know the last has double the cmc but has a mill effect to counter the other 2 have less restrictions.

This seems like a legit Mill deck +1, maybe more drownyards and watergraves.

If you went more Black maybe Mutilate and only put in your bigger creatures to try and board wipe while keeping your own

I'm not sure Mutilate is going to be effective running only 7 Swamps (4 basics and 3 Watery Grave ). I could see it being an inconsistent -2 or -3...

why not artful dodge huge aberration.

Have you considered Sewer Nemesis for this deck? I run a very similar deck to this, and Sewer Nemesis has won many times for me.

willsm87 says... #16

@fallingn0where that seems like it would be a pretty awesome card, but Sewer Nemesis isn't standard so I wouldn't be able to use him in my deck.

This is true. I'm used to playing with my buddies, we just play casual. My fault! :)

what about running Far / Away instead of Cyclonic Rift ?

Hi there, good mill and kill deck. To be honest there is not much in terms of card that can be suggested. You run a few counter and removal spells but the main basis of your dexk is soild mill and solid creature building from the mill, you even have some draw as well from your deck.

Feel free to have a look at It's miller time!!!!. Similar to this deck just a few diferences and tactics

Have a plus one from me

Nice Deck +1 i run a similar deck Not you're run of the mill deck and i was wondering what do you side in when playing a really fast aggro deck ? that seems to be my biggest problem any suggestions would be great.

Awesome news about jace being reprinted now i wont have to scrap my standard deck post rotation :) also you may want to drop 1 rogue's passage in favor of an island i ran into the same mana prob a few times running 4 colorless mana so i dropped to 3 overall and it has helped. also 24 lands seems to be the magic number for me maybe give it a try.

Jace's Erasure . Just do it.

willsm87 says... #24

@WicKid52 unfortunately Jace's Erasure is not standard.

My only suggestion would be the addition of Mind Grind . It is a powerful mill card and if you catch someone with a non-mana pocket you can get rid of some serious numbers of library cards. Not to mention, it makes a mill deck efficient for multiplayer matches as it causes each opponent to mill, without ever targeting anyone.
