Land based mill
Modern forum

I've thinking of making an esper deck that focuses on milling out the opponent. However, as a gimmick I want to focus on cards like Mind Funeral , Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker , and Consuming Aberration that has your opponents mill untill they reveal x number of land cards. Theoretically, your opponent's deck has roughly 24 or so lands but by the time you cast all your mill you could maybe count on haveing to have them reveal 18-20 lands before they mill out. I thought about speeding this idea along by running cards like Settle the Wreckage and Path to Exile to trick them into pulling even more lands out of their deck to both speed up the mill and remove immediate threats. That brought up the idea of running "group hug" flavored cards to help both players play additional lands to thin out their deck while speeding up yours. I know this won't be by any means competitive, but was wondering if it could be at least viable in more casual play. Curious if anyone has any thoughts or ideas for a deck of this flavor.

Didn't even think of using Unmoored Ego , never thought of hitting lands with it... gotta research if there's any others along those lines. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi, I had the same idea but followed up differently I personally use Unmoored Ego to directly exile lands from their library before punishing them with Mind Funeral and mirko vosk.
I dont know if this helps you
