I love match 5 opponent's deck, just a 5 color saga deck in timeless. living their best life over there.

I don't know if you've played surgical before but it can be nice to wait for their draw step to use it since they might draw a copy of what you're extracting

[CyberBuster]

Opponent spamming the snooze emoji like they aren't voluntarily playing in the strongest format on Arena lmao

[CasualLoLAddict]

I had a play set of Glimpse the Unthinkable back when it first came out. ...I was not a popular kid at school, lols.

[julianriml]

with scheming symmetry from M20 you can force them to search their library while getting a copy of the archive trap so you can maybe mill for x times 13 on turn 1

[AkodoNoEyes]

I had a Tasha’s Hideous Laughter hit for 34 once. It was sick. It was against a mono red deck whose curve stopped at 1. 😂😂😂😂

I've learned that arena will determine whether you can play a card or not, then engage the auto pass feature. If things change after that, it is still in auto pass mode. So you'll need to engage full control on turns you can't play anything but want to trap them.

[JogginClown]

I like the new animation when you draw from an empty library.

[thcdreams]

Great video. Nice set of games, fun deck and informative commentary. Top quality as always.

Personally, I've been playing with thr new Jace in mill. Plotting Maddening Cacophany and casting mill half for 4 mana is pretty good. Not to mention just plotting Tasha's, and the combo Jace has with Leyline of Anticipation.

Surgical Extraction is a fantastic spell to use for those pesky Gaea's Blessing cards that totally shut down mill decks. As soon as one triggers, cast it before it's effect resolves and you wipe ALL copies of it to prevent players from getting their graveyards back into their library. Things like Tormod's Crypt work well for that also but not many people use it that often

Edit: Tasha's Hideous Laughter is a massively underrated card also as it lets you nuke their cards into exile rather than the graveyard, thus avoiding the dreaded Gaea's Blessing triggers. I have 2 copies of Gaea's Blessing in my W/G/U deck that I play on Arena and the number of mill deck players that I've seen instantly scoop the second that I get my graveyard back with Gaea's Blessing is astounding. It's so immensely satisfying seeing half my library in the GY one turn and then getting it all back the next.

Although the opposite is true when they blast me with Tasha's and I lose both copies to exile. At that point I'm the one who scoops immediately

Timeless is such an interesting format

[mr.marker]

I’d like to take the time to appreciate the breaking news flavor text. For example “ dead horse deliverers beating”

[CSTN]

small tip. Use the surgical AFTER his draw step. Maybe he draws the card you want to extract and take another card from his hand.

[super_boros_bros]

I love mill it's so much fun. Also, love how you didn't acknowledge the person spamming the snooze emote at all can't give them the satisfaction.

[CyberBuster]

Oh HELLS yes!!! I don't even like mill, but all is fair in a hyper strong format like Timeless. This deck is lethal and DISGUSTING and I love it!

Evil Luca is back in the house y'all!!! 😂😄🤘

[Muscimologram]

I'd love to find a deck like this when I'm playing my silly mushroom deck that revolves around milling myself

[thebfunk]

Really like playing this kind of deck in bo3 with some thoughseize, couple of bounce spells for white leylines, cheap counterspells and the surgicals on the sideboard with some more card draw in the main. Really like the manabase, will copy it lol. Great video as always

[dummyroll]

Yessss love the mill. Used to hate it so much but then I just embraced it. Still way cooler, more interactive and simply better than that endless Capenna landspam deck from Standard 🤣

[loganderhund]

Honestly really interesting to see this decklist basically as the missing link between Modern Mill and Pioneer Mill.
It is missing the other crabs and the Fractured Sanitys, but it has the traps and extractions.
Hopefully Pioneer gets some more mill cards, because currently the deck kinds sucks.
