Coward_Token, Crumbling Sanctuary was in my original list but I was worried about the backlash of it impacting my deck as well. It might get added back in though.

Rocketman988, I still need to playtest, I play mostly tabletop EDH with friends so I will have to see what works. Thanks for the suggestions!

Crumbling Sanctuary was mentioned in the Command Zone video, could be fun.

So I got a nice success story to share: first round on spelltable, I played a gouphug/groupslug deck and an Esper enchantment control deck. The Esper guy manages to get a Crumbling Sanctuary on the field early game. All opponents have like 88 cards in their library left. I managed to get Purphoros on the field and exiled their complete libraries. That was such a tremendouns performance, I do not regret putting Purphy in the deck any more.

ClockworkSwordfish, darn! Thanks for letting me know and citing the rule. I’ll take out Crumbling Sanctuary.

I'd also recommend Mindcrank over Crumbling Sanctuary . It's cheaper and much better

Thanks for the advice and information, triproberts12. Not sure how I missed that Paradox Engine was banned... If I were to throw in Ashiok, Dream Render , Syr Konrad, the Grim and Crumbling Sanctuary , which cards would you recommend removing?

Paradox Engine is amazing, which is why it was banned from the format about a year ago. Memory Erosion is probably the best quality mill card, although Altar of the Brood is good for being a turn-1 play. I think Ashiok, Dream Render and Sir Konrad, the Grim are a pretty solid alternate win-con, though, especially if you were to throw Crumbling Sanctuary in.

Admittedly, I know exactly nothing about how to build a mill deck in EDH. The coolest card I've ever seen, though, was Crumbling Sanctuary . It forces everyone else to play on your terms, and since it exiles, you can just wreck combo decks. I would check out the budget page for Phenax at EDHREC.
