Ruin Crab

Creature — Crab

Landfall — Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, each opponent mills three cards. (To mill a card, a player puts the top card of their library into their graveyard.)

Some thoughts:

If you’re looking for an example competitive mill deck, this one here is a good baseline to build from.

dash.secrets I apprecuate your comcern, and this is true, if ruin crab is already on the board. I don't prescribe to such rigid thinking, it's a handicap. What I mean to say is, there's nothing forcing me to play Ruin Crab in my first Main Phase, I can wait until second, after I've played Conversion, and drop land in any Main Phase I choose. Not as ideal as Altar, I admit, but it fits the strategy.

Not sure if you're still on yet Ruin Crab instead of Hedron Crab - Hedron Crab is great in 1v1 don't get me wrong yet why not mill everyone at once

I love the build! As you mentioned Ruin Crab above, it always puts in work in my mill decks. Even in non-ramp decks like my Kwain, Itinerant Meddler mill deck. As well The Wise Mothman and my now defunct Lord Xander, the Collector. Few things felt as good as dropping a Boundless Realms or Reshape the Earth with Ruin Crab on the board!

Balaam__ I totally see where you're coming from with the Jace's Phantasm and Vantress Gargoyle, there is definitely a world where I can use those spots in my deck for better mill cards. I am looking at removing at least one more copy of the gargoyle, as its inability to block if I don't have a large hand size and it's 2 CMC don't make me super excited 90% of the time.

The idea behind it, at least for me, is that they allow me to put pressure on from multiple angles, and because I can get that 5/5 flyer with phantasm on turn 2, it means I can keep my opponents from building any real board state before turn 4 or 5 when their library is basically gone. It also is just a nice threat by itself, when I don't get the combos I need, or when mana is tight. Hedron Crab and Ruin Crab remove a few more cards, but they aren't very useful otherwise, which is why I feel that Jace's Phantasm and Vantress Gargoyle are a better fit for me.

As far as competitiveness goes, I'm mostly just looking to have a fun mill deck that i can throw into rotation whenever I get tired of the same old same old. I'm not too worried about tourney play.
