Best Mill cards in MTG
Mill: To mill a number of cards, a player puts that many cards from the top of their library into their graveyard.
Mill is an alternate win condition that empties an opponent's library so they lose when they try to draw from it. It is slow on its own, so dedicated mill decks need to mill quickly while surviving, but milling can also enable your own graveyard synergies. Be careful, since milling an opponent can fuel their reanimation or graveyard payoffs.
FAQ
