Playing a mill deck can be fun, but playing against one isn't, so I try not to use them. Interesting to see where the term came from!

My wife will always rage quit when I play a mill deck. She says there's no point and that playing with a mill deck is tantamount to saying "I don't want to play this game" lol

Oh man - I had no idea this is where the term Mill deck came from! So cool to learn about! Mill decks were a big deal when I was playing Star Wars: Destiny competitively - hated them, haha!

Paperwave continues to be a highlight of my week! Great work Justin! :)

Although it's not that great for milling out your opponents these days, it actually has some niche uses as a self mill card in formats like commander!

I love how a mechanic can have so many different uses depending on your decks synergies. Mill was no doubt thought up as a win condition to take down opponents, but these days milling yourself can be just as an effective of a strategy. Pretty cool stuff.
