More playtesting! (Again) —Nov. 9, 2012
So, I killed someone. Generally a bad strategy, but I went really hard on one player in a 4 way, not totally sure how I didn't get rocked harder than I did. Basically someone attacked me multiple times after I threatened retaliation. They lost their library pretty quickly after that, though I lost a good amount of life. At that point I started playing for second, as two aggro decks went at it. In the end one of them had to choose between killing either one of us after a nice bit of land destruction, and decided to go after me since he didn't know what kind of shenanigans I could do. Wrong choice seeing as the other player topdecked the land he needed and was able to flashback something to get 2 dragons onto the field, but it wouldn't have really mattered much anyways since he would have won either way.
In the other game, also 4 player, I don't really remember much of what happened, but it ended up with me being unattackable (at the cost of 8 mana a turn) so Ghave's horde became functionally infinite but couldn't do anything. I also couldn't do anything since i was tied down with the Clockspinning my Chronomantic Escape twice every turn, so he eventually won when he comboed out with the card on the very bottom of his library Blood Artist + his lots of tokens (he couldn't quite make infinite, but we decided that he had enough after the lots of turns of doing nothing else) + a sac engine (one of which let him draw a card for 2 mana, which he used to get the artist off the bottom of the library) is how he eventually won. (I think I need some more forced draw spells, I can kill, but not fast enough).

Yeah, I had Jace Beleren on the first decklist but I haven't found one yet...

He's good, too. Probably gets less hate for the first few turns because everyone likes drawing cards. I love Memory Adept, though. And Mind Sculptor is off the chain.

yeah, too expensive though, and I just started a new zedruu edh deck, so this one is getting no more money from me

How about Memory Erosion and take out one of those three mana ramp artifacts.

no, I need the mana fixing. If anything I could use more of it. Memory Erosion is a good option though

Jace, the Mind Sculptor would be ideal here, but he'd also almost double the price of the deck. For a cheap, yet effective alternative, I'd consider Jace, Memory Adept. I love playing mill, so I'm definitely gonna give this deck a shot. :)
