I guess mill isn't the strongest archetype in Pioneer but a) it's fun to play and b) other players don't seem to expect it, so that's good enough for me.

The general idea is pretty straightforward: opponent's deck is their life total, try to hold them off with counterspells and removal until their library is gone, and ekeing out a few more turns with Crypt Incursion.

Fabled Passage and Field of Ruin are there to get some more life out of the Ruin Crab. I'm unsure about their inclusion, but they squeeze in some more mill where it otherwise might not be, and sniping nonbasics might be helpful.

I'm a little unsure about how to sideboard. Currently, I have:

• Ashiok, Dream Render is there in case I encounter any graveyard shenanigans.
• Noxious Grasp in case of mono-green stompy.
• Didn't Say Please and Heartless Act for if extra/different counters/removal are needed (looking at you, Ashiok, for ruining Drown in the Loch.
• Yahenni's Expertise: unsure about this especially. -3/-3 is a decent boardwipe against weenie decks, which doesn't kill Merfolk Secretkeeper, and I can potentially also play a mill spell off the back of it. But there's probably better options I don't know about?

I've played with this a couple of times. Won 2-1 against Gruul Collected Company and lost a close 1-2 against Orzhov Auras. Not much evidence yet but enough for me to feel it isn't a lost cause.

And no, I'm not really serious about Mirko. He's just kind of a mascot. May his abs bless this deck.
