I need me a playset of Mox Opals ...
And now another Blood Moon, another Hallowed Fountain, two more white fetches and 3 Monastery Mentors.
That sets me back by about $325.

mill players need to run Laboratory Maniac in their side board, just incase they run into Leyline of Sanctity.

I've been thinking about trying to build bug mill as well lately. thought it would be fun to have a random jank deck i could bust out on modern nights at the lgs from time to time. this is what i have so far: The Underdog

I have a foil Hallowed Fountain. Got it for 2 Ghost Daddies back when they were standard and that trade was even. That was a good trade.

The issue with any drudge decks are that they have to kill fast, because they have so many hate cards that see some play: Rest in Peace, Leyline of the Void, Relic of Progenitus, Tormod's Crypt, exc.Wizards point with the bans is something that I can agree with: Treasure Cruise and Dig Through Time caused decks to be pigeon holed into certain decks. This caused the events to become boring and lack luster. Imagine seeing 5 different R/U delver decks and 2 different Birthing Pod decks while you are trying out something off the wall in a daily 8 man, it gets a bit boring, and frustrating.

The problem with milling your self like that is often times the majority of the spells say target opponent not player

opencorners they banned it so delver wouldn't turn around from cruise and just use dig. It was a 'preemptive banning'

Crazy, well now to improve my tokens white red deck with the new cards from fate reforged

I'm not happy about Dig Through Time being banned because maybe in commander/EDH they may see play but otherwise, that's it. They're a good and solid card but will plummet after they rotate.

Dig Through Time is used in variants of omnitell it essentially became a way to protect there win con. I dont think it will drop to much

Well the beauty is that I'd need the Mox Opals anyway for Affinity, and I already have most if not all the shocks I'd need.
