Millstone

Artifact

, : Target player mills two cards. (That player puts the top two cards of their library into their graveyard.)

"Milling" wasn't an official keyword for years, but was a colloquialism most players were familiar with from Millstone. "Mill" becoming a keyword in recent years I think is along the same lines of saving space where possible.

There's various different examples of game text changing & being updated for stuff like clarity, conciseness, and tone. We don't "bury" creatures or permanents anymore. Pretty sure "remove from the game" simply became "exile" at some point.

Millstone would do it if their library had 4 cards in it.

In all seriousness though, you are probably thinking of Terisian Mindbreaker. It is the closest thing I could find to what you describe.

Hey chivalruse, Thank you for the potential counters. Or just overall problems I could run into. In truth this deck is running a couple of counter spells, hopefully to counter a couple answers to my board. But I also hope to just out grind my opponents by using Silas. Destroying my board isn't the end of the world as long as I can get Silas back out and swing a couple times. Also, you are right, I need to look through my monsters and get more fliers in there. However, I want to try and keep Artifact monsters I can recur with Silas. Adding things like Steel Hellkite might be useful in that vein.

Also, in the case of Mill I have a couple more options than you listed. Dreamborn Muse, Jace, Wielder of Mysteries, Court of Cunning, Millstone. Which all and all comes out to be 7 forms of mill. I would like to get that to 10, preferably more. If you have suggestions, I'd love to hear you out. Plus, any suggestions for cuts as I know this deck isn't perfectly put together. Also, any flying artifact creatures you can think of that could be helpful. Thanks for the feedback! I know this is pretty gimmicky. So, any suggestions to help it I am all ears!

Someone starts the game with Leyline of the Void out. What does my mono-red artifact deck do against that to actually enable my recur combos? Goblin Welder and Goblin Engineer are now useless. Myr Retriever is now useless. Daretti, Scrap Savant is now basically useless, only good for a free "faithless looting" each turn. Feldon of the Third Path is useless. Crucible of Worlds is now useless. Scrap Trawler is now useless. Trash for Treasure does nothing. Ichor Wellspring loses half its value. Buried Ruin is just a wasteland at that point. Codex Shredder Grindstone and Millstone now have to be used to mill other people or are useless. They got put into my deck to help me mill myself for a good Scrap Mastery, which is now also pointless.

So yeah, I guess i can still play them, but why would I? They no longer do what they're supposed to do. I wouldn't even bring this up if there was red enchantment removal, but there isn't, so for a mono red graveyard player, Leyline of the Void is as opressive and unanswerable as Iona Vs any monocolored deck

TypicalTimmy Fair enough. I had it played against me too. Before i ran kaalia and had daretti, someone dropped it and named red because i got my hand revealed a turn ago, or maybe the top card of my library was revealed or something. everyone saw i had obliterate or jokalhaups or something in my hand and i had dsteel forge on the board, so i was gonna wipe everyone else and win in the meantime. Somehow lattice hit the board so i obliterated anyway. Even in a 1v1 though, i technically could have still handled it just by using colorless stuff. Maybe that's just an advantage of artifacts - not being gimped by iona.

plakjekaas it sure would help the situation. Maybe not in a 'fun' way, but it would help. It's not "fun" when my carefully constructed combo that i made "uncounterable" is still just countered anyway, for free, because, you know, blue. So ban Mindbreak Trap too.

I'll pick up a couple more Detention Sphere and pull the Inaction Injunction . Also, I replaced the Millstone & Geralf's Mindcrusher with Wall of Lost Thoughts and Wall of Omens .

Millstone , Inaction Injunction , and Geralf's Mindcrusher are three cards that seem on the weak side here. For the first, maybe something like Sphinx's Tutelage could make the best use of your cantrips for maximum cards milled. It would also make the detain card better, although I think I'd still prefer a more permanent answer like additional Detention Sphere , Darksteel Mutation , or the weaker but thematically consistent Deep Freeze . When it comes to the Mindcrusher, I think he's just too slow to only be milling 5-10 cards while not contributing to the defender gameplan. I'd probably just hard swap him for 3 more Wall of Lost Thoughts , Wall of Omens , or maybe Mnemonic Wall . Also, if you don't mind splashing black, Phenax, God of Deception is a great bomb to supplement Doorkeeper s.

About time. We've been using it colloquially since about 5 minutes after Millstone was printed.

But Teferi? I love you man, I really do.

Stop being so Damned BROKEN.
