DUSKMOURN - Mindskinner Mill | Standard Deck Tech with CovertGoBlue | MTG Arena

[@MetalHev]

Man, Tasha's Hideous Laughter in this meta would be a 1-shot kill to monored. Imagine that.

[@goomshill]

28x 1-drops, 4x 2-drops (slickshot, sell-sword) and 4x 4-drops (leyline), so 52 total mana pips in the deck, and they will draw ~8 of that, so about 44 mana pips to burn.

[@Hexrampant]

They removed it because they love red

[@22peter22doido22]

Just use it on Pioneer

[@livedandletdie]

There's a 2 turn Red Win deck in Duskmourn... With the red leyline, heartfire hero, turn inside out and sellsword.

[@HS-mk7do]

Per DND rules, it doesn't affect creature with less than 4 Intelligence.

[@dinklebob1]

That game 1 finale tho. What a wild game.

[@alexcsere]

Oh, cool, a different wincon is back! Mono-red players holding their new toys - Yeah, but can you mill 53 by turn 2?

[@AzazelReborn81]

Oh cool, another smart comment (sarcasm).

I got rolled by that card round 2 of the prerelease. The other person played it turn 4 during game 1 and turn 3 during game 3. He told me later that game 3 he kept a 2-lander, and one of the lands was a swamp

[@gaberielpendragon]

By turn six? Only died three times to mono red nonsense in that time.

[@Linkwii64]

Agree, either ded by turn 2 or join the red team.😂

[@AzazelReborn81]

Wow… always this kind of comment. Plus, look at the deck… there are bounce spells to take care of such threats. Also, I get it that the meta right now has tons of monored (and potentially will have more), but there isn’t just that. Finally, what are you expecting? That everybody here showcases only decks that win turn 2? You might wanna watch channels that only show you that kind of stuff. Oh I almost forgot: this is a deck built for the pre-release event, and it’s meant to showcase as many new cards as possible.

[@as95ms98]

Literally just play Bo3 and Mono-red disappears. Stop whining.

[@angellestat2730]

​@@as95ms98 there is no possible sideboard you can add for this type of deck that would still give you some edge against monored or any aggresive agro, even less if they start first 2 of 3 times. I think this build is not good enough and the mindskinner does not seem scary at all. This is not his fault, this is wizard of the coast fault for keeping the power creep of aggressive strategies to the extreme. Today matches are solve in 4 turns (with the one starting first with huge advantage) unless you fill most of your deck with removals. But in those cases, nobody is allow to play clever sinergies and the only thing that matters is the amount of broken cards you add to your deck. This is becoming boring.

[@jmoney9494]

During the streamer event it was obvious they went out of their way to make sure midrange played midrange and mono red played mono red. Once the leyline gets introduced to every deck it's gonna have a field day. Mono red or auzorious control

I want to try this deck ~

[@markomancikas]

I love the deck SOOOOOOO MUCH as a fellow control mage. And I love CGB. But someone has to remind my friend that there is rakdos aggro, mono red aggro, rabbits aggro, lizards aggro and some 5 more different kinds of aggro to deal with 😅 I know CGB had never dealt with mono red before 😅

[@as95ms98]

Brilliant comment. An observation never made before by anyone. Your insight into the Bo1 meta is truly groundbreaking. Literally just play Bo3 or adjust your deck to play against aggro. Stop whining.

Looks like the miller got milled

[@TheKillerman3333]

Alright, off he top of my head here Mono blue mill, using jace, Tasha's, ruin crab, mind skinner, actually this is giving me lots of ideas.

[@DiamondzFinder_]

I want a monoblue version of questing beast now.... ;3

[@phantomsnoopy]

Deck needs some tweaks to live through mono red, but a different way to mill for sure

[@matthewjessey12]

Bottomless pool and the 2/3 flyer for 2 that bounces a permanent you control go hard together

[@TheKillerman3333]

Mind skinner in explorer. It might not be the best but mill 10 sounds nice.

[@tom4465]

Still, the mindskinner is a fun addition to my horror tribal / mill deck (even though sadly not a horror 😮)

[@SeleneTheFoxBat]

How do you think adding black would do here? You get ancient one as another source of mill, some better removal, and potentially lijeness looter to copy mindskinner

[@Jesse-mk9th]

You can't copy skinners mill effect, as it's not a trigger but a replacement effect. I found out the hard way naturally

[@NowThat-uc1qo]

Let's go CGB!

[@zakg3053]

This deck would love a mockingbird 😮

[@Benji_The_Ghoul]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@alanhong99]

In this meta playing blue, you got to play 12 bounce spell to survive.....

[@RetroMTG]

The fact that the new RR Bowmaster-at-home from DSK is in Standard is truly horrifying nightmare material! Boo! Lol

[@despew4716]

So what happens if you “call in the professional” on your own mindskinner

[@CaffeineWarlock]

i cant get this deck to work, sure i bounce stuff back to their hand but it just comes back since i have no real removal leading to them eventually getting a board before i can do anything. maybe im just not seeing how to get this to work but man im like 2-10 with this so far XD

[@oscarguzman3017]

I'm deeply unhappy that that last deck exists now

[@EggsAreGood55]

The number of times he could've copied the mindbreaker's mill ability but didn't really triggered me lol.

[@The_Duck_Is_Angry]

are there any damage can't be prevented spells that would work with Mindskinner?

[@OscarTorres-cn8mo]

Question, do we think the Blue Overlord should be animated to have flying while its only an enchantment? lol, that looks wonky AF

[@dinklebob1]

The enchantment has flying, tho. Just like if The Ozolith picks up a Flying counter. Visual consistency is important.

[@theflood24]

Wouldn’t dealing 10 damage be better than milling 10?

[@JustinFayden]

@@theflood24 not if you can't deal 20 🤝

[@OscarTorres-cn8mo]

also, 10 unblockable dmg usually doesn't come costed at 3 mana (excluding current standard red meta, lol)

[@sfox84]

​@@OscarTorres-cn8mo3 red mana in current meta will 1 shot you. Once duskbourne drops, it will be 2 mana to 1 shot you. Wizards doing a good job killing Bo1 standard.

[@as95ms98]

​@@sfox84Dude WotC isn't killing Bo1 cause Bo1 isn't a real format. Play Bo3 and RDW all but disappears and you get to sideboard. Stop whining and adjust your deck for Bo1 if you're dead set on playing Bo1.

[@jonathonr1883]

I miss when mil was good

[@oX313Xo]

It's really sad how mono red and boros are just dominating the meta. You can make gun decks cause by turn 3 if you had bad pulls your dead.

[@cruye9633]

Wait this is just aggro but blue

[@niccolomorocutti3903]

I'm losing every single game with this

[@casualnerd8139]

Wait... How does that interact with damage cant be prevented by Sunspine Lynx or something???

[@Cheerwine091]

It does exactly what you’d think. It’s a 10/1 unblockable that mills 10 on hit. The issue is you need triple U on turn 3 and double R on turn 4, which while doable, is gonna be inconsistent when you ALSO need a 2 card combo. Also, to meet that mana restriction, you need to play a lot of dual lands, which means lynx is gonna hurt. This isn’t a major issue (life is a resource), but it is something to consider.

[@EricHernandez-ib7jq]

Is what u imagine but Ux3 is not something you out in izzet

[@adamgreen6051]

[@bulgarellitarohoodoo]

Unfortunately, it is still noticeable that Wizard still does not reinforce mechanics for us Mill players, it is a good deck, but if you still observe the victory rates of Deck Mill are very low, please Wizard, reinforce the Mill Decks, and stop just giving Mono Red good mechanics and discard decks!!!!

[@ForeverLaxx]

You're kidding, right? The only good mill is OTK mill. If mill *ever* gets strong enough to be worth using in any other context, decks just get bigger to counter it. Slow mill as a win-con isn't viable and never will be.

[@FyreGod]

Yo…. Ngl…. This is straight trash and I wish I didn’t watch this because I spent the money to buy the cards in Arena via gems and I’ve played 23 matches (no lie) and zero wins. ZERO. This deck does NOT have the ability to stand against anything. I get demolished worry about setups for mills that never happen. It’s not your fault the cards aren’t good, but definitely tell people NOT TO USE THIS.

[@mariand.1087]

Classic toxic behavior from the first opponent, spamming "Hello" when they were lucky enough to have the last 2 Jaces in hand. If I were WOTC staff, I would revoke early access rights for that "content creator".

[@simonh5870]

Some people are seemingly triggered by any use of emotes. The opponent in that match didn't spam "hello". They used it once and it was in a match against a fellow content creator. If that's enough for you to call it toxic and thinking they should get their access revoked you maybe should check yourself first.
