Mill (Dimir)


Comments and Opinions welcome

It's a pretty standard (as far as I know) mill deck.

Have you thought about replacing some of your sorcery's with 2 or 3 of Immortal Servitude

http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=366247

It does what most of your sorcery's are doing with the added bonus of putting them on the battlefield.  A quick way of putting your CMC 1 to 3 back in play.  Probably not so good for the higher casting creatures.

Just a thought!

Deck Reviews / [Modern] Glissa's Army (first strike and deathtouch)

Glissa's Army (first strike and deathtouch)

Any thoughts and opinions, anybody has would be welcome.

I think the synergy is good and I enjoy using this combination of mechanics.  First strike is mainly a white coloured mechanic, but fortunately there are artifacts that are (reasonably) quick for that purpose.

Obviously Glissa, the traitor and Master of Cruelties are the two creatures that fit the bill, but didn't feel inclined to splash red.  Any opinions on this?

I was contemplating on splashing a bit of white for some vigilance, but I don't think in the scheme of things that would be that wise.

It may be sensible (depending on where you want to play this deck) to replace the Forgotten Ancient with something else.  This is the only card that is tipping your deck into the Vintage/Legacy category.  I see that you are splashing a little bit of deathtouch in your deck with the  Wasteland Viper.  Perhaps you could exchange the 2 Forgotten Ancient for 2 Deadly Recluse.  Deathtouch is a great delaying strategy to use in a deck (most opponents don't like to attack with deathtouch on the board).

I would be tempted to lose Gaea's Anthem and replace with Bladed Pinions.  Attaching Bladed Pinions them onto your deathtouch creatures would be far more effective and can dispose of threats quickly.  Far superior mechanic to use in my opinion over the +1/+1 granted from the expensive to cast Gaea's Anthem.

Might also be sensible to exchange out a few of your heavier casting cost creatures and make your deck slightly more aggro.  Having 6 creatures in the 6-8 CMC is pretty hefty; I know you have quite a lot of mana producing elfs etc for the early game play, but don't forget you're not going to want to use them to block any incoming attacks and by the time your reach turn 4 or 5, you could have taken a fair amount of damage.

Just some food for though.

Good luck with it.

Thanks for all those suggestions.  I do agree with a lot of it, the main problem is the sheer expense of all of it!  A game set of Mutavault is very expensive, the lands that you describe are notoriously expensive.  2 more of Domri Rade and another Garruk, Caller of Beasts along with everything else would see me off down the pawn shop!  Nice suggestions though!

I particularly like the interaction between the Thorncaster Sliver and the Bow of Nylea.  With sufficient Slivers on the Battlefield it is pretty easy to clear your opponents forces with that combo!  If money was no option, I'd definitely invest in 3 more Mutavault, I really like that land and a load of shock/scry lands would also be nice.

I'm from the UK, perhaps prices for MTG cards are cheaper in the USA.

These prices are from a competitive UK retailer:

Mutavault = £26.00 each
Scry lands = £3.40 each (average) - the different colour combinations vary in prices
Shock lands = £11.00 each (average) - the different colour combinations vary in prices
Domri Rade = £24.00 each
Garruk, Caller of Beasts = £16.00 each

Therefore 3 Mutavault (£78), 8 scry lands (£28), 8 shock lands (£88), 2 Domri Rade (£48) and a Garruk, Caller of Beasts (£16) would come to a small fortune, setting you back in the region of £258, from a competitive and reasonably price shop.

This of course is the biggest problem when trying to improve on your cards!

Thanks away,

Phil

I like Sliver decks, I've got one myself!

I would recommend including 2 Bow of Nylea and adding an additional Thorncaster Sliver, the synergy between these two cards is great and is a potential win condition.  You can tap your slivers to deal damage and with the bow, that damage is deathtouch (instant kill).
