Milling creatures

[ArtificiallyEnhanced]

I've put together a milling deck recently with very few creatures. Of those that I do have a lot of them are merfolk that will be rotated out come the new set (Zendikar or whatever its called). I want some creatures to do a similar job in terms of chump blocking and having mill abilities (the merfolk I use are drowner initiate and drowner of secrets).

Does anyone have any ideas as to creatures I could use to replace them?

ive created a mil deck which aside from milling is pretty much loaded with counter spells and rather than wasting a bunch of low level creatures as "chump blockers" i put in a few "seprents of the endless sea" which gives them P/T = to number of islands you have

so rather than having a bunch of cheap merfolk blockers you can have 4 10/10 creatures out there

but then again these creatures dont mil but that's what jace is for

Fair enough.

The creatures I have are only there to buy me time if I need it. I don't have a Jace, he's a little to expensive £££ wise for my tastes at the moment. I currently have memory sluices, traumatize, haunting echoes, mind funeral and one or 2 other spells to play with. Its really just something to replace the role of the 2 drowners that I'm looking for.

Nemesis of reason?

merfolk looter (not mill but awesome anyway)

cathartic adept



noncreature mill spells:

memory sluice

Tome scour

ooh! how about telemin performance? It's a creature and milling.

Have the adept, not the looter yet, not sure how much I'd want it. Nemesis of reason is a rare and as such is too pricey for my tastes. Its mana is also v high.

have some but its phasing out with the merfolk.
Tome scour
got a few of these.

Again a rare. Thanks for trying though.

I might just go with some cheap vanilla creatures. The looter looks a good bet to put in though.

There is a card in the new set, kurubian crab. One blue mana, 0/2 Landfall - "whenever a land comes into play under your control mill 3 cards from target player"

Uncommon.



Nemesis of Reason is awesome, it gives you a very tough blocker and it mills regardless of weather it hits your opponent. More useful than Traumatize I think. But creatures aside have you considered Brain Freeze and Glimpse the Unthinkable.

I recently got some crabs, along with an archive trap

Both those cards are not standard legal, I'm ideally looking for standard legal cards at the moment, non-standard isn't really played much in my area. Plus I'd prefer memory sluice and tome scour to those 2. Both cost 1 and are very similar.

Oh, and I recently picked up a Nemesis of Reason too. Plus a platinum angel and sadistic sacrament.Some whispersilk cloaks would be nice in it now, but you can't have everything, I suppose.
