guess they were their for the stats. brb putting foot in mouth now ¯\\\\_(ツ)_/¯


I mean they aren't THE BEST stats or anything but seemed a reasonable upgrade under the circumstances. Get your foot out of there you don't know where it's been.

I like conclave naturalists a lot tbh. It is just that sage makes a lot more sense in elf decks or in decks running bellower. The lower cost of sage isn't that helpful because it is a card that is almost never played on curve. So in certain decks like this one the naturalists just makes more sense.

Danno one other suggestion if you want to keep blue is run displacement wave. Great combo with P. skaab. Requires ramp to really shine though. I would suggest dropping the collossi to lower your curve in exchange for evolutionary leap. I would also really be tempted to slot in a necromantic summons for synergy with the skaab.

Only thing about wave is that it doesn't play well with the planeswalkers.

I tried cutting the Pilgrimages for one Leap and one Shadows of the Past. The Leap is amazing as expected, Shadows isn't bad but I'm not married to it. I'm worried about cutting the colossi for fear of further diluting my already thin threat density, but I do like Necromantic Summons...

You can autocard a whole deck without doing each card individually.

I'm still of the opinion that kothophed actually sucks. IF you don't have reliable life gain, seeing kothophed just makes me want griselbrand (the better demon lord) back

I agree, just trying to think of what to replace a 6/6 Flyer. I am leaning towards the Disciple.

I've been playing around with some of the mill decks in this thread and none of them really satisfied me that much in the current aggro/enchantment meta. I decided to make my own.

2-3 drops

1 x Jace, Vryn's Prodigy
2 x Gatecreeper Vine
4 x Elvish Visionary
4 x Alchemist's Vial
1 x Nissia, Vastwood Seer
3 x Sphinx's Tutelage
3 x Artificer's Epiphany
3 x Anchor to the Aether
3 x Reclamation Sage
4 x Read the Bones

4-5 Drops

2 x Languish
3 x Possessed Skaab

6+ drops

1 x Kothophed, Soul Hoarder

X cards

2 x Displacement Wave

Lands

6 x Island
4 x Swamp
6 x Forest
2 x Woodland Cemetery
2 x Rootbound Crag
2 x Drowned Catacomb
2 x Evolving Wilds

I chose to go with a very strong amount of card draw with the added 4 xRead the Bones; it just seems like a waste to have black in your deck but not use its card draw engine. The addition of a 1 x Kothophed, Soul Hoarder is a similar idea but also helpful in cases where you get your Sphinx's Tutelage's out too late and need a back up finisher. Hes good for both his synergy with the Sphinx's Tutelage and being a 6/6 flying body that is difficult to deal with. The rest of these cards are pretty standard fair for a mill control deck, with an exceptions being the Reclamation Sage. this card is great when going against evolutionary leap decks as well as the many white/X decks that are floating around the meta right now.

Anyhow, any comments or suggestions are welcome, im still testing this thing out atm, though I've seen quite a bit of success on the upper parts of the ladder with a 10 win streak from rank 23.

Currently uploading some gameplay to YouTube of Gegliosch's Turbofog/Mill deck found here.

The following link will work once it has been uploaded and processed, shouldn't be too long. Thanks for the deck, Geg, but I think those D-Waves should be a third Disperse and a Disciple of the Ring.
