I was not having very good luck with my Tribal Mill deck, so I've decided to scrap it and take a swing at putting together simple Modern mill. I don't have the funds at the moment to justify picking up some of the more expensive cards like Glimpse the Unthinkable.

I've got a nice synergy between Hedron Crab and Terramorphic Expanse as well as Ghost Quarter and Archive Trap.

I recently decided to try out the Sword of Body and Mind . When equipped to Jace's Phantasm I'll guarantee that the Phantasm will be hitting for 7 the next turn.

Duskmantle Guildmage is another damage dealer. This cards lets all of my mill effects cause damage. Works extremely well when the Sword of Mind and Body gets equipped.

Surgical Extraction is there to potentially break combo decks early on.

What I will have difficulty with are very aggressive decks. To help against that I've got counters like ( Psychic Strike & Mana Leak. For creature/planeswalker removal I have 2 Hero's Downfall.
