MTG Modern Competitive BUDGET MonoBlue Devotion MILL Deck w/ Mission Briefing - GRN!

People still say mill is just slow burn, but burn will never hit that specical itch of flushing your opponent's answers and combo pieces away in front of their eyes.

[@TripleGProductions]

My fav card in my mill deck

[@hollowryder]

I feel like perhaps Thing in Ice is a good pull here, it doesnt really slow the mill game plan down and provides a good alternate win condition while synergizing with your entirely spell based deck

[@ettorevolterrani2989]

It is a gigantic nombo with devastation tide tho

[@honestabe952]

I this scenario I think you replace tide with thing. Not sure how well it would work but it’s worth testing. Only issue I have is the weakness to removal.

[@wearealreadydeadfam8214]

lincoln hall Yeah who needs an efficient wrath that hits non-creatures in Modern when you can have an alternate win con? XD

[@SteveMichael]

@@wearealreadydeadfam8214 I am by no means a great deck builder, but I have played mill competitively for a while now and while Tide did work well for him, I wonder about the consistency with the limited ability to scry. Thing in the ice didn't work out for me, but neither has Jaces phantasm that well either. It sounds great to have a 5/5 flyer on turn two, but in practice it hasn't worked out the best. A card that can be good, but conflicts with Visions of Beyond is Ensnaring Bridge. I have had some luck with running a lower mana curve mill deck and main decking 3 bridges. If your opponent doesn't have an answer it can buy you a few turns to mill them out. I didn't try to build a budget mill deck though. Again, I am not saying Tide is a bad card, or that Thing is a bad card. They just haven't worked out for me as well as it did for Magic Aids in the video.

[@Angry_ananab]

I didn't know you made budget decks. And of all the budget decks that I've ever seen, this is the only I have ever considered putting together.

[@namename8004]

So this deck got me thinking. What about a mono-blue or blue based control deck built around archive trap specifically as the sole wincon? 4 of trap, 4 of literal actual baby jace, and 4 of mission briefing. You need to cast 4 traps max to win. Fill the rest of the deck with counters, some draw/filtering/cantrips and interaction like Devastation Tide. A problem that mill has is that a lot of it's cards 'do nothing'. Yeah, they advance towards the deck's win con, but it doesn't actually affect the board state. So minimize the deckbuilding cost of the wincon with cards that can be either a wincon or interaction. Sometimes both. I think this idea might have some legs.

[@ahunter7563]

Too slow to kill ; if you leave too much time to the opponent,doesn't matter how many counters you have,they are going to sandbag shits and force through your counters and eventually kill you.

[@SeanHrecho]

1/10 A for effort

[@braindeadmonkee]

well, maybe, if you have like blue black, and you have like a removal package, counter package, cantrip package, and then the archive traps, but what immediately comes to mind is this; is there any way to repeatedly clear the board? I'm thinking like isochron scepter on damnation kinda. something that can sweep whenever you need it to, and then you only have to worry about countering big stuff. then you can let the lil dorks come down and just eventually mass sweep them away when it's most convenient

[@GhastlyRemains]

This was awesome to watch. I've been playing variations of this deck for about 10 years. It started as a Sanity Grinding standard deck back in Lorwyn era, and has evolved and taken different forms a bunch of times over the years, the three main versions being: 1 - Almost exactly this, though this was pre-Mission Briefing, so I was using Snapcaster and or more counters like Remand and Mana Leak, and Twincast to copy the Sanity Grinding (kinda like a Mission Briefing without having to pay again a lot of the time, though I like the new synergies with Devastation Tide). 2 - The U/B version with Glimpse, Mind Funeral, Surgical, 8 Fetches for Crab, etc. 3 - A hybrid between this and the Mono U infinite turns deck you played against where Sanity Grind was the win (this one was my own brew years before either came to prominence). It's interesting to finally see these decks (and my other one, Heartless Myr) finally being legitimized a bit more, because I've been on this jank for so long and I love it dearly. Also, beautiful deck boxes, hopefully I win one. :)

[@dylanturner18]

Thiago Nunes that was my thinking. Just get problematic stuff out of the way

[@jamescolvin8429]

That could work; it's a may search so maybe the opponent would only search the first time to get trapped by archive trap, but then after that it might be hard to rely on if you're hoping to mill them out via Path. On the other hand you it does effectively turn into swords to plowshares as far as mill is concerned.

[@reye_bruh]

And if you are slplashing white you get the best side board cards. Stony seilence, fragmntize ( for leyline of sanc) , leyline of sanc and a lot more. It also let's you play teferi the VALUE train.
