Big Update for the Archtype! —Oct. 9, 2020
With Zendikar Rising's release, Ruin Crab and Maddening Cacophony have been big additions to Mill decks. Cacophony is better than something like Breaking / Entering since it doesn't target and therefore gets around cards like Leyline of Sanctity and certain niche counterspells. Extra crabs mean that we get more free mill with land drops and have better sticking power against counter-heavy decks. There is debate on whether Fraying Sanity is worth a spot, but for now it's in there until I figure something that would be better or if the meta calls for more interaction. Cling to Dust is an excellent catch-all card that's worth running in the main. It doesn't do any one thing super well, but it gives us value from our GY while running Mesmeric Orbs and can snipe Snapcaster targets or random Uro's in game 1s.
