Bruvac the Grandiloquent

Legendary Creature — Human Advisor

If an opponent would mill one or more cards, they mill twice that many cards instead. (To mill a card, a player puts the top card of their library into their graveyard.)

Couple of card swap suggestions. I don't really like Fatal Push in here. Pretty narrow in commander. Feed the Swarm is flexible and effective and feels like a great card for this deck. You could also probably cut Doom Blade for another counterspell. I'll recommend Arcane Denial or Drown in the Loch .

Also, Psychic Corrosion , Maddening Cacophony and Ruin Crab are nice for milling all of you opponents. Syr Konrad, the Grim and Into the Story seem like good payoffs for getting those cards into graveyards.

Other cards that don't seem to fit are Diabolic Tutor since you already have 2 other strong tutors for this deck. I think some of the above payoffs or mill cards would be a better fit. Trinket Mage since it only gets you a few artifacts that don't seem super impactful. If you really believe that you need those one and zero-drops, I can respect that. It seems like Tribute Mage might be better, though to secure your 2-drop combo and protection pieces + ramp.

Speaking of ramp my last main comment has to do with the low amount of ramp and card draw in your deck. 2 and 3 mana ramp work great to get your commander out ahead of curve and keep your deck running smoothly. I'll recommend Mind Stone and Dimir Locket as those help to kill two birds with one stone.

Also, keep an eye on Bruvac the Grandiloquent 's price. It's slowly decreasing currently but will probably go up again the next time they print a semi-decent mill commander.

Bruvac the Grandiloquent is indeed great for mill, but it's a card from the Jumpstart set, and therefor not modern legal

Alright, here we go. Best cards: Maddening Cacophony , Glimpse the Unthinkable , Bruvac the Grandiloquent , Fractured Sanity (this is from modern horizons 2 so there is no image), Archive Trap , Fraying Sanity , and Traumatize . Hope that helps.

I'd say that Bruvac the Grandiloquent definitely belongs in the deck. There's definitely got to be a card you can cut for it.

Anowon, the Ruin Thief is really fun. You fill up the deck with cheap unblockable creatures and draw cards. Some removal to get rid if key threats. Mindcrank and Bruvac the Grandiloquent can do silly things

Not really sure about the budget as of now. I just tried to not have any cards besides 1 or 2 that were over 3 bucks. I'll probably cut those out two so I don't have much that cost over 2 dollars. It definitely feels like it's harder to keep EDH budget tho. Unfortunately, my bag of cards from childhood was mostly green but I have a few good blue ones too. I'll put all of the cards I have that could be good in the maybe board and move those really expensive ones to the acquire board. The ones as of now are just too much money but would be amazing, especially Bruvac the Grandiloquent . If the 100 card format doesn't work for mill I could try a modern. I tried a mill deck before but it was over 60 cards and didn't have enough creatures so I always died early. I figured with 40 life that I could last long enough to mill through though. Thats also why I put more creatures in this outline that also milled because it does what I want while providing some defense. Fleet Swallower and Keening Stone seems like a nice combo. I'm sure there are others in there as well. Other things I have noticed is that a lot of the black mill cards are self mill as well which I don't entirely understand so I stayed away from it. I think I like more of the cards that affect all opponents just because it won't feel like I have to mill one opponent and then the other. I'll also put out a 60 card outline today or tomorrow which may help you with seeing which cards I really want in there.

If you're using Maddening Cacophony I would strongly suggest including at least 1 of Bruvac the Grandiloquent because a kicked Cacophony with Bruvac on the field leaves your opponents without a library

list text here Dimir Guildmage to combo with Mindcrank .

Bruvac the Grandiloquent to double milling effects.

Maddening Cacophony for the kicked cost to mill half a library.
