More [[duskmantle guildmage]] —April 12, 2013
Out: 1x Norn's Annex & 1x Go for the Throat & 1x Fog Bank
In: 2x Duskmantle Guildmage & 1xHedron Crab
Thanks for the comment and for the Propaganda tip, didn't know that! Before publishing this deck I played with Memory Erosion instead of 2xDuskmantle Guildmage and Forced Fruition , but I thought it was too slow, but I'm still considering it :). Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the ideas. Induce Paranoia is on the short list for my deck, but i was thinking more Psychic Strike instead of Deprive just for the added mill. I see where you would think Jace's Phantasm is better but my deck isn't looking to hit my opponent just aggro mill them. I had another version of mine where i used Sword of Body and Mind with Invisible Stalker and didn't care for it. I also really like the Kathari Remnant because almost everything in my deck can be cascaded into with him. I just didn't want to use the milling as a way to pump my creatures as i already tried it that way and didn't like it. +1 for your deck though, isn't milling fun lol!

No problem, I have overlooked it before just because it was reprinted in commander so it doesn't look legacy. But my friend has the original. +1 from me, also please check out my new Naya midrange standard deck please. It's titled naya midrange, naya humans. why not both.

I think is the best mill deck I found in internet I dont play in tournaments but i think this cards are rlly good in U/B Mill deckExtirpate Surgical Extraction

(sorry for my post befour) Maybe Haunting Echoes or Chancellor of the Spires ?certainly, I use http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/mill-deck-smth-new/

Thanks man!
Reguarding Extirpate and Surgical Extraction they are "almost" the same thing, but I prefere Extirpate because of its split second ability; anyway, Extirpate can't finally find space in my deck, because It has no meaning with my tactics: I need to counter my opponent's card with Mana Leak and Go for the Throat /Doom Blade , and if I replace one of these I have less chanches to counter a creature on the battlefield, expecially during early turns.
I considered about Chancellor of the Spires , but it has an high mana cost for a creature: usually I plan to defeat my opponent in less than ten turns and, if the match lasts too much probably my opponent has many creatures on the battlefield (or can play many spells), so Norn's Annex and Forced Fruition I think are better than Chancellor of the Spires ; the second problem is that, in order to use his first ability, I should have 4x in my deck and have no space for four creatures with 7 mana cost. I prefere Szadek, Lord of Secrets .
Haunting Echoes is very interesting, I'm considering it for the maybeboard!!
Thanks again man!

I think Chancellor of the Spires + Surgical Extraction can ruin the game for combo deck and deck base on infect, but this "combo" is on luck to have Chancellor of the Spires on opening hand. I use exchnge Fog Bank by Delver of Secrets Flip - it can work rlly well on deck with a lots of instants and sorcerrys.

I have one problem playing with my friend he playing on discard deck depend on Liliana's Caress , Quest for the Nihil Stone , The Rack he have only 4x Delver of Secrets Flip in deck. Rest cards is heavy discard spells like Blightning , Burning Inquiry etc. I think that in a lot of situation I cant count on Go for the Throat /Doom Blade /Ultimate Price I get to many gmd in 4-5 turn with out control on permanents, without cards like Into the Roil , Cyclonic Rift with out good start hand I loosing.(playing on enchantments is very rarely but...).

(I think Death's Approach & Debtors' Knell are to slow and a little bit to weak - Im sorry if spaming)

A discard is (for milling deck) as dangerous as burn (SPARO in italian) deck are: Maybe you should put in your sideboard 4x Witchbane Orb . Redirect is very useful too, and you can put also some Torpor Orb . The problem of mill decks is that they are very slow, it is difficoult to mill an opponent before he win if he has red or discarding card (for example Vexing Devil or creatures like Guttersnipe ). That's why Fog Bank s and counters are very useful, you should defense yourself 4/5 turns befor to mill the opponent. You can replace a counter with a Extirpate in your tachtic anyway, but you have to be lucky.Remember that the sideboard is so important, and with 8 counters on the deck and some defense stategy you can limitate damages while using Witchbane Orb !
No problem for this kind of spam, but if you want, you can add me as a friend and text me on my page.

Shriekhorn is IMHO more effective than Mind Sculpt you might wanna consider swap.
very nice deck though

Couple tips, for one, propaganda isn't modern legal, only legacy and vintage and edh. And also, ever think of memory erosion? it's a 3 drop enchantment that mills 2 whenever an opponent plays a spell. I really like this deck a lot.
