Replacement for Murder in Dimir Mill
Standard forum
Posted on Feb. 18, 2013, 11:58 a.m. by ducttapedeckbox
Hey everyone!
The double black cost for Murder doesn't work too well with my U/B Dimir Mill deck, Perfection of Milling. Does anyone have any suggestions for a replacement?
Knowing me, I'll forget about this post, so please try to comment on the deck itself if you have any suggestions :)
Thanks!

I usually end up winning with Consuming Aberration , though :P There have been very few instances where I've actually milled the opponent.
Also, Devour Flesh doesn't target. If I want to get rid of, let's say Thragtusk , and they have card:Avacyn's Pilgrim out, I wonder which they'll get rid of...

Devour your own Consuming Aberration :D
if you don't like that Ultimate Price

I don't like Ultimate Price because it can't get rid of some of the newer bombs, such as Boros Reckoner .
I'll consider Devour Flesh , but I'm still open to other options.

The decent removal options are: Ultimate Price , Murder , Devour Flesh , Tragic Slip , and Victim of Night .
You could also try card:Death's Approach since you are milling but that could take a while to get online.
If you want more specific help let us know what creatures are the biggest problems for you.

its not a real andser to your Murder issue but getting playsets of Drowned Catacomb and Watery Grave instead of the Island would solve alot. can understand if you dont because of $$$.

I've added in Cyclonic Rift for bounce and Dimir Charm to help out... but I still don't have a solid kill-spell

right ther is the 4drop kill spells Grisly Spectacle (still double black but at 4 should be manageble) but ths 4drop so could be to slow.
another option is Sever the Bloodline also a 4drop. but only takes 1black mana. other option pretty much get even more highcost. and all cheap option pretty much are already listed. Devour Flesh Ultimate Price and Victim of Night .
unless you want to keep your creatures. Bone Splinters is optional or Human Frailty but last one only kills humans making its use limitid

Rapid hybridization is a good 1cc answer to a lot of threats, I've been using it in grixis an an early game answer for rancor on the draw or to throw off their tempo. They get a 3/3 but that's generally better than what they would have had.

Thanks for all of the suggestions everyone! I think I have made some headway with the control in the deck, and have actually been winning :P

Does anyone have any suggestions for a replacement for Mindshrieker ? I'd like it to be a 2-drop flyer

Paralyzing Grasp and Encrust are good blue options if you're going heavy on the blue mana.

Tragic Slip would be good espeically if they have regenerators, since the creature would be sent to the graveyard by a state-based action and not by combat damage.

Devour Flesh since you're milling them their life shouldn't matter!
