[Legacy] Black/Blue Self Mill Deck
« on: January 02, 2018, 07:36:57 am »
Black/Blue Self Mill Deck

Better mill spells would be nice, trying to cast Soulflayer exiling Zetalpa, Primal Dawn as fast as possible (Zetalpa was recently spoiled and needs added to database.) Baleful Strix is just amazing and can give deathtouch and flying. Misthollow Griffin doesn't care if it's exiled and can give flying. I decided to list it as legacy not nothing or casual, so I tried to be competitive with dazes and force of wills for protection

I'd put a couple of Watery Grave.
You can always fetch for them instead of Underground Sea at the end of opponent turn, when  able. In doing so, you minimize the chances to put them into play tapped.
I also think Hedron Crab + Brainstorm would work better than Increasing Confusion and Visions of Beyond.

Hello again Soren, I like what you did with your deck, good choice with the Soulflayers and lands, I also made a new deck which is highly more revised than my previous one. I guess the trick is to add around 2-4 of the same specific cards depending if they help you with the mill that you want to have, which is why I like your deck.

I think Vampire Nighthawk would be a perfect fit for this deck.
Compared with Sphinx of the Steel Wind, it doesn't have first strike and vigilance but I think deathtouch is a much more valuable ability.
Moreover, it's a creature you can actually cast, so that it can easily go in the mainboard.
Likewise, you could swap Akroma, Angel of Wrath for Mirri the Cursed, which doesn't have vigilance and trample but it's fairly more castable.
Another creature with an ability you currently didn't cover is Aven Fleetwing, although maybe this one is overall too weak.
Also, another way to fill your graveyard could be with Stinkweed Imp and other cards with dredge.
Finally, Cabal Therapy could be slightly better than Thoughtseize here, since you can cast it directly from the graveyard, maybe sacrificing Hedron Crab after it did its job.
