Okay, so I have this app on my iPhone that lets me look up cards and build decks within it (that's besides the point). But anyway I've been trying to make a really good mill deck! I've tried making combo's using things like card:Jace's Archivist with Quest for Renewal and Copperhorn Scout then leading to a Psychic Spiral and possibly using Augur of Bolas to help me get the Psychic Spiral . I've also wanted to make a straight up mill you as fast as possible deck with things like Mind Sculpt so I can Suffer the Past them turn 4 or 5 for the win. (You could win with Suffer the Past turn 1 if you have 1 Swamp down and 2 Archive Trap in your hand). I could list the other mills I've came up with but the thing is they all seem to be only very good at certain points. Like the turn 1 Suffer the Past would only work if someone cracked a evolving wilds turn 1 (I think you can do that since only creatures have summoning sickness). But anyway if someone has a good mill deck that isn't solely dependent on a few cards for the win (aka it has multiple ways of winning) let me know. (My favorite option is the mill you as fast as possible and use Suffer the Past but I'm really only splashing black for that one card. Maybe I'll add some Surgical Extraction in and maybe some other black cards to make it seem like I wasn't splashing black just for 1 card).
@ Taiyouai, I have 2 Jace's in my deck but thanks a lot for the Glimpse the Unthinkable it looks pretty nice. And I would love to get Tamiyo, the Moon Sage for her last ability to do with card:Jace's Archivist. And the Destroy card is pretty nice but it seems costly to me? Maybe I should play test it though. I've already thought of using Mind Funeral but I don't know if I'd like too.

What my semi-finished product looks like deck:mill-you-or-kill-you-your-choice

how exactly does Suffer the Past work as a cheap wincon? In order for one to be lethal you'd have to pay 21 mana and have 20 cards in that opponent's graveyard.

I'm sure the x = cards exiled? So you don't pay x with mana? It doesn't say pay x mana and exile x cards?

It does say pay XB to target a player and exile X cards in their graveyard, so for each card you want to exile you have to pay 1.

Another card would be Glimpse the Unthinkable also check out the Ravnica: city of Guild Dimir cards, they had a bit of mill and were blue black, if you wanna add in more black, also consider Destroy the Evidence . Also If you are willing to purchase a few Jace, Memory Adept they are wonderful also, as would be Tamiyo, the Moon Sage would be nice in combo with card:Jace's Archivist
