Okay so. Modern Mill. The deck is fast, with no card in the main board over a converted mana cost of 3. it features 12 mill cards, playsets of, Glimpse the Unthinkable, Hedron Crab, and Mind Funeral. Total amount of cards this deck can Mill varies depending on how many cards Mind Funeral hits. To keep annoying stuff of the board there are 9 counter spells, Remand, Mana Leak, and Spell Snare. Spell Snare aims for stuff like Dark Confidant and Tarmogoyf, any scary 2 drop really. Snapcaster Mage, of course, is essential in this deck. Stuff like Thoughtseize,
Extirpate
, and Surgical Extraction let me see into my opponents hand, the two latter help with completely eliminating enemy threats, while Thoughtseize presents the opportunity to do so. Both Dark Confidant and Remand allow me to draw cards which is always a good advantage.
Land
So a playset of Watery Grave was essential in this deck, both Marsh Flats and Misty Rainforest can fetch for the Graves. Drowned Catacomb was the next dual land on my list seeing as there is a very high chance I am going to have either a Swamp or Island. Speaking of which I run 2 of both I feel that I pay a lot of life as it is, I don't wanna over do it. Ghost Quarters I really like, I think it gets rid of lands that I don't like effectively.
The sideboard hits a variety of decks and cards specifically. Anything that revolves around a graveyard get's screwed by Leyline of the Void, A Board wipe is always nice and what better than Damnation to take out stuff with shroud and finds the loop hole in Thrun, the Last Troll,
Echoing Truth
was a nice to throw in to take out tokens, or Affinity where a lot of low drops come out so quick. Spellskite can deal with a lot of cards, also can survive a Lightning Bolt which is a big deal. Go for the Throat is to deal with creatures that I find hit the board, doesn't work against Affinity though. Archive Trap is sideboarded game 2 right away, unless no fetch lands were seen game 1.
Leyline of Sanctity: Shuts down Thoughtseize, All Mill Cards.
So this card can cause a lot of trouble for me. There is no response that fits my colors that deals with this card at the speed I want to. I decided that Splashing White was my only option, I added 2 Demystify to my sideboard, as well as 2 Hallowed Fountain to the mainboard. All my fetch lands and can search for Hallowed Fountain.
