Welcome to MTG Card of the Day, where I show off one rad-as-heck Magic: the Gathering card, explain what I think makes it so cool, and share some interesting facts. You don’t need to know anything about Magic! Just have an appreciation for cool fantasy art, nerd history, and potentially broken game mechanics.
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.

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!
