so, i have been wanting to try something different for awhile now. after looking at all the directions i could go when deciding to build a new deck i settled on mill. this is because it runs on a totally different clock then most other decks. so here is muy first attempt at a mill deck. all input is welcome

zangief

foundations

4 genius alchemist (all/void)

4 no memories(void)

4 fight or flight (all)

3 air pile driver (all/earth/void)

3 kuzuryu reppa (all/void)

3 flying power bomb (action side)(all/earth/void)

4 blood runs true (all)

1 :::. ken:::. (all/void)

the basic idea of the deck is to outlast the opponent and mill them out, but i discovered that even though i have 32 vitality to my name (hence the russian rocky balboa name of the deck) i can still die rather quick to a deck like hilde or zi mei. if i come up against a deck like that then i wanted to be able to hit back just as hard, screw pile driver fits this role perfectly. at 5 speed mid and 6 damage its fast and hits fairly hard as attacks go, and it has the added bonus of being a throw with i mill enhance that isnt great but not horrible. flying pwer bomb is in there as a utility attack. coming in at only four damage and three speed its rather measly, but the fact that its a throw makes up for that. im mainly using it for its enhance anyway. i decided on reppa for aniother attack based on two things, one its draw function will let me tune my hand, and two it can come in at 12 damage (multipled or fight or flighted). abelias friendship is in the deck for a little bit of defence and a nice little draw engine. white gi was i card i was iffy on, but after looking at it and seeing that not only will it fuel my reppa, but will also slowly mill the opponent out i decided it needed to be in the deck, i want to find a way to really abuse this card in this deck so any suggestions on that front will be welcome. anyway that the deck and the reasons behind why i put in what i deem "questionable cards in the deck". any and all sugegstions and or criticism is welcome

Flying power bomb maindeck if you want to mill faster? (the action side is brutal)

Other cards might be antisocial and researching the past..

i agree that flying power bomb deserves mainboard status, ill be taking out the air pile drivers for it. not to sure about anti social ill look into that. i will however be adding in researching the past into this deck. it will let me do some crazy things like looping flying power bombs or screw pile drivers for a goodly amount of turns.

thanks for the advice

4x Evil Doer Destroyer is really bad. Since its Unique, you can only have one in play -- so if you draw your extras, they're completely dead. Cut the 3 of them, perhaps adding Altered Mind and Body in their place? It's not a huge thing to have, but if your opponent can't put together attack strings back-to-back it can really make a difference -- they might even go for it when they can't make the damage stick, and just completely waste their attacks.

No Memories in place of The Evil-doer Destroyer. It's a foundation that does the same thing without being unique.
