#MTG GOLDFISH STANDARD MONO BLUE MILL ARCHIVE#

While Drowned Secrets doesn't have the same immediate impact as something like Archive Trap, over the course of the game, it often ends up milling just as many (and sometimes even more) cards, for just two mana. If we can sneak it onto the battlefield on Turn 2, every other spell in our deck comes with the kicker of milling our opponent for two cards.

This makes Drowned Secrets the best (and most important) card in our deck.

Instead, we rely on casting a bunch of cards that mill smaller amounts while also having some extra utility (like being a creature or a counterspell). One of the biggest challenges of building Mill in Standard is that we don't have cards like Glimpse the Unthinkable or Archive Trap that mill a big chunk of our opponent's library in one shot. The deck plays like an odd control deck, looking to stall out the game while slowly but steadily dumping card by card from our opponent's library into their graveyard. Rather than attacking our opponent's life total, our main goal is to empty their library, causing our opponent to lose to drawing with no cards left in their deck. Budget Magic: Mono-Blue Mill (Standard, Magic Arena)Īs its name suggests, Mono-Blue Mill is a mill deck. As such, we're looking to set things right this week by playing one of the cheapest decks in the series' history: $27 Mono-Blue Mill! Throne of Eldraine brought with it a bunch of interesting support cards for the mill archetype, which, when combined with some holdovers from last Standard like Drowned Secrets, give us the critical mass of mill cards necessary to make a (possibly?) competitive deck! Can Mill work in Standard on a $27 budget? Let's get to the video and find out then, we can talk more about the deck!įirst, a quick reminder: if you enjoy the Budget Magicseries and the other video content on MTGGoldfish, make sure to subscribe to the MTGGoldfish YouTube channel to keep up on all the latest and greatest. སྐུ་གཟུགས་བཟང་པོ།, Budget Magic lovers, it's that time once again! Last week, the Magic gods frowned upon us as everyone figured out that Mono-Black Aggro was good between when I recorded the video and when it went live, causing the price of the deck to spike outside of our normal budget range.
