Cowl Of The Dark Knight

Casual Control Mill WUB (Esper)

Jokernaught


A casual Mill Utility. Deal almost no damage while taking out opposing Libraries with ease.

So the object is to mill them out using Nemesis of Reason+ Mirrorweave /Rite of Replication. To achieve this I got to control the board until the combo sets off.

Slow down any removal with Meddling Mage /Tidehollow Sculler/Silence. That or seriously wreck whatever the got planned or set up a fancy distraction with these really* annoying creatures, that the waste a could portion of thier shenanigians on taking Tidehollow and Meddling.

During your milling process, You need to get thier library total low so you don't have to work as hard. Milling things they need is the goal. Mind Funeral handles lands like a boss. Hopefully all their land is clumped somewhere near the bottom.

Exile any reanimator combos or just cards you know have a nasty habbit of coming back with Shadowfeed . Grafdigger's Cage prevents flashback, Green Sun's Zenith, and pretty much everything else that isn't a hard cast. Both cards work in tandem.

Enigma Sphinx and Sen Triplets are flashy tech. Cascading into cards is easy and fun, as every card has a supremely lower mana cost and I don't mind casting for free. The fact that Enigma Sphinx keeps coming back is great. I can chump block with him all day if I have too.

Sen Triplets make sure they don't do anything sneaky on my turn. Really thats all its for.

The rest is all control/fog. Batwing Brume is a handy little trick versus token producers and aggro decks. Vapor Snag to do what Vapor Snag does best. Rite of Replication for a more permanent Nemesis of Reason copy(s). Unmake is also handy in a pinch. I prefer Exile to destroy anyday.

The real beauty is Necromancer's Covenant. Exile what I mill? Sure. A bunch of 2/2 Lifelink Blockers? Why not. More things that become more Awesome with Mirrorweave ? Hell yeah.

Questions, Comments, or things to add, Lemme know +1's help too.

The Dark KnightInspiration behind the deck, Batman doesn't deal in death and is a pyshcological warrior. Much like my goal here. Nothing lethal.
