Help with strange mill deck
Deck Help forum
Posted on Aug. 19, 2012, 1:48 p.m. by Malethos
Hello, I have great respect for the forum community's ideas here, and wanted to get everyone's feedback on how the following casual deck could be improved/built better.
So is the current composition:
Plains: x16Journeyer's Kite x2Sun Titan x4Pearl Medallion x4Angelic Renewal x4Altar of Dementia x4Seal of Cleansing x3Wall of Omens x4Worship x4Kor Cartographer x2Lifeline x2Mother of Runes x2Sol Ring x1Gold Myr x4Auramancer x4
The basic idea was to create a deck that used a more uncommon mill mechanic. You get out Angelic Renewal, Altar of Dementia, and Sun Titan. You sac the titan to the Altar, and mill your opponent(s) library, then you use Angelic Renewal to return the Titan to play, and then finally the Titan's ability to return Angelic Renewal to play.
So essentially an infinite mill if not interrupted.
The rest of the stuff in the deck is either to protect/survive until you can get the combo out, or speed up the mana curve.
The issue is that while I wanted it to be a fun/casual deck, it doesn't seem to have enough speed, and/or "oomph" to it, and most of my other casual decks have surpassed it. I'd like any suggestions as to how to beef this up speed and effect wise, in addition to any other infinite combos it could also utilize that I did not think of.
I'd "prefer" if the core mechanic was kept in intact, but still will take any suggestions that "do it better/faster", even the addition or change of colors. Well, let me know, thanks!

As much as I know it may be a pain to ask, would you be able to go to the deck builder and post your deck there? Would make it WAY easier to dissect it and help you out.
I will still tell you one thing though. Counterspells. Mana Leak , Dissipate , Negate and the like are all good ways to control your opponent long enough to get your combo out. I do actually like the idea you have here. Also, board clears like Day of Judgment and Vanishment are good against things that are just spawning critters on you. Obviously, it would be a control measure until Sun Titan hits the field, since you don't want to bounce or kill him accidentally.

Well you could try adding black for a couple cards like Unhallowed Pact and maybe Unburial Rites . The pact would act as another Angelic Renewal and the Unburial Rites would be in case the titan hits the grave. You also could try Zombie Infestation to send the titan and the necessary enchantments to grave the use the Unburial Rites and bring the titan back with the enchantments. watch out for graveyard hate if you do go this route though.

Fantastic suggestions so far guys. Yeah, sorry about the mess up top in the OP, I want to do as you say now and link the deck with "magic brackets" but I am unsure of how to edit the OP to do that. Is there a way for me to edit the OP? Or do I have to simply post a reply and a link that way?

It's really hard to read that list. If you put it into a deck form, you'd get more feedback.
