Description

"Mill Requiem" is a Casual control-mill deck designed to methodically drain opponents' libraries until nothing remains. It blends Dimir's mastery of manipulation and disruption with relentless mill strategies. Utilizing cards like Glimpse the Unthinkable, Archive Trap, and Fraying Sanity, this deck accelerates the depletion of your opponents' resources.

The deck thrives in multiplayer and 1v1 settings, maintaining strong control over the battlefield with removal spells (Doom Blade, Disfigure), counterspells (Drown in the Loch, Negate), and strategic creatures (Consuming Aberration, Nightveil Specter) that grow stronger as the library vanishes.

How the Control-Mill Strategy Works

Set Up Control:
Maintain control with targeted removal and counterspells, ensuring opponents can't establish threats.
Use creatures like Nightveil Specter for both disruption and value.

Mill and Dominate:
Synergize Fraying Sanity with Glimpse the Unthinkable for massive library depletion.
Consuming Aberration becomes a powerful win condition as the mill strategy progresses.

Adapt for Multiplayer:
The deck excels in multiplayer formats where multiple opponents accelerate mill triggers.
Cards like Archive Trap become even more effective when opponents frequently search their libraries.
