Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Milling to win in Commander is like trying to shoot the moon in Hearts: take it when it happens, but usually a bad idea to base your whole plan around it. But when Doomsday Excruciator and the Mindskinner dropped in Duskmourn, I started to think this strategy might be possible. The best commander for uniting these two is Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker, whose brand of milling known as \"grinding\" becomes more powerful each time an opponent fetches a land. By combining cards that mill large portions of players' decks with cards that mill large specific numbers (like, for example, Doomsday Excruciator and the Mindskinner), along with cards that force opponents to draw large volumes of cards, opponents will move through their libraries like a voracious reader.\n"}]}
