It's been actual literal years since I last shuffled a deck, and now I'm trying to get back into the game by brewing up a mill deck, and I'd really appreciate some feedback.
My main concern right now is consistency. Going by test draws and goldfishing I feel like I'm far too often seeing nearly useless opening hands, and periods of multiple turns where I can't do anything, either because mana screw, wrong cards in hand, etc.
I'm still liking the seed concept of it, especially after the addition of Ramunap Excavator. Sacrificing a Dunes of the Dead and then putting it right back feels good. But as it stands the deck feels screwed without an Ipnu Rivulet in or near the opening hand, and I too often look at my hand and wish it was something else.
It's been so long since I wore my homebrew hat I seem to have lost it somewhere. What big mistakes am I making? How can I make the deck more consistent?
