DIMIR SLOW MILL

Better now than never, I hear you roaring mates !!

here's the list that took the trophy for  MPDC 23.02.

And it's a Mill deck, as surprising as it can be.

So now is time to open a new section on the blog, it will be called "Hall of Fame", and it's purpose is to gather the trophies (winning decks) collected by the Clan members in Player's Run Events on PDC / Gatherling. Mates keep it up !

I have been really busy these days, and had no time to write about this list and archetype, but the Standard Pauper Community is keeping a sharp eye on what's going on and the deck was analysed and used enough by potent and (more or less) skilled authors. Let's not discuss this please, case closed, I am not a skilled author.

You'll find Gwyned's articles on it below, only our devoted host can write this good in that perfect english (is that insulting for a US native?) on his blog, Writer Adept. Highly recommended ! I feel ashamed as a non native speaker, but I'm french afterall, and french people are known for huge difficulties when it comes to foreign languages, i'm sure you noticed that already.

Here's Gwyned's first presentation post on the list :

And a second post dedicated to "How you can beat Dimir Mill", and it appears it's not that difficult.

Thanks for helping us defeating this horrible archetype because it really deserves it afterall (quote MyGalaxy lol).

The first article ever published on the decklist can be found here :

As you can guess from reading the link only, the deck was used by JasonTMS in Hipsters of the Coast Standard Pauper's event in TOP 8 right after the list won MPDC. Great, congrats !

There was also a Topic on PDCMagic.com about the archetype :

Will Dimir Mill just stay up on top of the metagame, or was this trophy just a striking surprise??

Surely time and changes to the list will tell....

And it has told a bit already !

Gwyned revealed ways to improve the Dimir Mill list on his Blog, you can read that here :
